Living Beyond Yourself – How to e Effective
Pastor: Scott Baugh
March 10, 2019

Big Ideas:
· What is attractional? (Answer: living and loving like Jesus)
· Attractional Christians put other people’s souls ahead of their own personal rights.
· Attractional Christians focus on winning people not arguments.
· Being attractional has to do with what we do just as much as what we don’t do.
· We must not just be attractional (just do nice things to make people like us), but we need to add boldness, which means bringing Jesus into it. It means risking rejection.

1. Why isn’t it enough to just be moral?
2. How are you doing bringing people to Jesus? (Consider your family, neighborhood, workplace, friends, etc.)
3. What would it look like to “Add Boldness” as Pastor Scott talked about, what you share Jesus with others?
4. What attracted you to Jesus?
5. What about you attracts others to Him?

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:16, Acts 4:28-31

1. What do we learn about Jesus’ authority? How does he demonstrate His authority?
2. How do you see people? How do you live out your calling?
3. What does the curtain being torn (and the timing) of it being torn mean for us?
4. How are we able to live out our calling?
5. Who are there neighbors, coworkers, employees, family members, friends that you need to SEE like Jesus sees? Write them down and pray for them.
