<> Scripture--John 10:16 & Revelation 7:9-10 <> Application--

#1 Read John 10:16. Where are you personally in this verse?

#2 The part where Jesus says, “​So there will be one flock, one shepherd.” ​Have you had an experience where that seemed to be a reality? (Perhaps a large gathering of believers, a crusade, a Christian concert, on a missions trip) What was that like?

#3 The section concerning Christ followers on God’s mission:

● How would you rate your passion for God today (scale of 1 to 10) if the most passionate you ever were was a 10?

● Have someone read Philippians 1:6. If we would agree that God is not finished changing us into His image, where is God at work right now? Can you see Him using that testimony in the lives of others around you?

● Have you ever seen this truth at work: “As we go, we grow”? Where is God calling you to leave your comfort zone at the present time?
