Leading Someone to Jesus - Part 2

There are two areas of care:

1. Your ministry - to the church

Acts 2:42-47
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.
44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.
45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.
46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (NIV)

2. Your evangelism - to the world

Acts 1:7-8
7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (NIV)

Discovery topics:

1. Do you see a difference between ministry and outreach?
2. The word ministry can be interpreted as “to serve”. Why is it important to serve those in the church?
3. What is witnessing? How should we be applying it to our lives? Are we doing and how do we get started?
4. Verse 8 of Acts 1 says we will receive “power”. How should or do we respond to this power from the Holy Spirit? Why?

Respond to God in worship and prayer using this verse:

2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.
He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
(NIV)
