Go Make Disciples - The Mission and the Method

Read the preface and chapters 1–2 before the meeting.

Scripture reading

• Matthew 28:19

• Luke 5:1–11

Opening

Do you find it relatively easy to make new friends, or is it somewhat difficult to become friends with someone? Why?

Discuss the following questions:

1. Describe how unasked questions can become the “sticking points” (the places we get stuck) in our lives.

2. Many people have never found God’s high call- ing in their lives. They’ve either not sought after or understood God’s plan for them. Why do you think that is the case?

3. “Stuck people,” according to the author in the opening chapter, “have a vision problem.” What we focus on either brings movement or stagnation. Discuss a time in your life where something you dwelt on either caused you to move forward or not to move at all.

4. The author encourages us to ask questions of ourselves including: “What is my purpose for being here?” and “What is my place and where do I belong?” Why do you think asking such questions is important?

Closing

This week ask God to open doors to new friendships. Be proactive in looking for any opportunities God sets before you.
