Leader Guide
As believers, we are commissioned to “go and make disciples”. This can seem scary, but God promised to be with us. This weekend we looked at how we are here on this earth to share The Good News of Jesus through our own stories.
What you will need: A Bible or your Bible app, a notebook, pen, and highlighter. The verses highlighted below are linked so that you can easily access them during your study time.
Jump Start
Leaders: This section is designed to get discussions started, examine God’s truth, and apply it to our week. Life Group leaders should not assume everyone in their group is a Christ follower. Because they are taking part in a Life Group, they must have some openness to knowing more, exploring. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work and let Him lead you as well.
1. Did you pick up invite cards? Who has God placed on your heart to invite to Movies at The Cove?
2. You are commissioned. Read Matthew 28:17-20. Are you a forgetful person? Who was Jesus calling to “go and make disciples”? Share with the group how you heard the good news?
Leaders: God has asked us individually to make disciples. This is not just the pastor's job but our responsibility as well. We do a lot of “good things” but sometimes we forget the one thing that God has called us to do every day, “to share the gospel”!
3. Bring the Good News. Read Romans 10:14-15. How can we share the Good News with the ones that God has put in our paths? Share a time you were pleasantly surprised with a spiritual conversation you had with someone.
Leaders: God wants us to actively participate in sharing the gospel and support those that do as well. There is no better news than the message of salvation. Aren’t we thankful someone shared with us.
4. Read John 9:1-3, John 9:25, John 9:35-38. Consider how God can use each circumstance we deal with in life. How have you seen God use your struggles, blessings, or encounters for His Kingdom?
Leaders: View your own and others challenges through a lens of faith! Like the blind man’s life, He can use any situation to bring about His purposes and bring His name glory.
Action Step: Over the next few weeks, we have the privilege and opportunity to invite people to Movies at The Cove. As you will see we will not have a “deeper section” during this time. As we can be active and grow in faith by going, shining your light, smile at someone, pray, share your story, and share the gospel. What an easy way to hand out an invite and just say, “come and see” and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. This could change their lives forever.
