What is a disciple's mission? Part II

Class discussion
Q. What’s your confidence-level in being a witness for Christ? Why?

John 4:1-42 Story of the Samaritan woman
(Key verses: 28-30; 39-42)

Q. How much training did the woman have in witnessing to others about Christ?
Q. How effective was she despite that fact?
Q. What can we learn from that?

OUR part:
Pastor Travis Collins conveys in his book Directionally Challenged, “What is God’s will for my life?” is the wrong question. The right question is, “What is my place in God’s mission to the world?”

Our part individually should in some way involve His mission to reach a lost world, by…

praying and/or giving, and/or going or whatever the Lord puts on your heart to do that supports His main mission. Each true disciple should play some role in the Great Commission.

Core lesson: The disciples mission is to have some part in “making disciples of all the nations.”

Fact: that will not happen unless our hearts are aligned with God’s. It may be that many of us here simply do not care about the lost. Or at least our actions, our involvement in Christ’ mission, might reveal that. Let's ask God to shape our hearts to reflect His.

After prayer about the above lesson, write down in your notebook what you believe your role is in Christ’s mission of “making disciples of the nations.”
