You're in Search and Rescue | Adam Barr | Inheritance Church
MAIN IDEA: Community Groups are called to be Kingdom “Search & Rescue” units.
Acts 19:1-10 (NKJV)
And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.
8 And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God. 9 But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Ephesians 4:11-12 (ESV)
And [Jesus] gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry
Conversation
Have you ever had a chance to share the Gospel with a person? If so, what was it like? If not, do you want to?
On a scale of 1-10, how equipped do you feel to share the Gospel? Explain your answer.
What is one thing the church can do to help you step out and share your faith?
EXERCISE: Confessing the Truth
I am salt and light in the world
We are in this together
Jesus is tangibly present when we gather
Commissioned: Search & Rescue
COMMIT together
PRAY together
PLAN together
IMPLEMENT together
Discussion Questions:
Revisit the two passages. In what way did Paul “equip the people” to do the ministry? How effectively did they minister?
As a community group, talk about what it would look like for your group to take up the outreach challenge that Adam and Zach talked about. What are some ideas you could implement as a group?
Take narrow down some of your ideas and pick one or two. How could you contribute to this happening?
Before heading out, spend some time praying and listening to the Holy Spirit. Are there any other ideas that emerge?
Please SHARE what you come up with with Pastor Larry ([email protected]). We want to help you any way we can.
