Rescued, Part 8: How Do We Send?

40 minutes

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

When you think about missions, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Do you get excited? Nervous? Guilty? Burdened?

To you, what is the gospel? What is required for salvation and a relationship with God?

Read Romans 10:9-15. What stands out to you from the passage from this Sunday’s sermon?

In the first-century context, why were messengers important and honored? How should that change the way we look at missions? Also consider 2 Corinthians 5:18-21.

Paul was not demanding everyone go be an international missionary, but he commended churches for their participation with him in the spreading of the gospel (e.g., Philippians 1:5). How do you think you are currently participating in global missions?

Pastor Aaron mentioned five ways we can be involved in sending: giving financially, prayer, encouragement and thanks, selflessly releasing, and providing direction and guidance. Do you think there are others? How are you currently practically involved in sending? Where do you think God wants you to grow in the area of sending?

Pastor Aaron mentioned two common misconceptions about preaching: 1) Preaching is only for preachers, and 2) People will figure it out if I live it out. Have you seen these excuses in your own life? If so, where?

Where do you think God wants you more active in sharing your faith? As a shepherd group, consider making a list of people you are praying for, and pray for your boldness is sharing (see Ephesians 6:19).
