What does God care about? • • A. God cares about me • B. God cares about everybody • II. Why should we care about what God cares about? • • A.

What happens if we don’t care about what God cares about? • • A. You’re turning your back on an opportunity of a lifetime • B. We allow distractions to clutter our lives and our schedules • IV.

Pray for God to give you strength and courage • B. Pray for new friends • C. Pray for revival • • Questions: Points to ponder • Read Luke 15:1-10 and discuss following questions: • A. What prompted Jesus to tell these 2 parables? In terms of perspectives, what did the Pharisees and scribes see, and what did Jesus see? • B. Parables usually have one main point. What is the main point of these two parables? (Clue: As religious leaders, what is the main difference between Jesus and the Pharisees in terms of motives?) • C. Read v. 7 and 10. The lost sheep and coin represent lost people. What are the eternal and spiritual implication(s) and/or result(s) when the lost is found? • D. What can we learn from Jesus regarding how he feels towards sinners? (Clue: How important was the sheep to the shepherd/coin to the woman?) • E. How do you feel toward people who do not believe in Jesus? How does that align with how Jesus feels? • Application questions: • F. What makes it hard for you to share your faith? (Fear? Not knowing what to say? Afraid of rejection?) • G. Have you ever had an opportunity to share the gospel but didn’t? What held you back? • H. Have you ever shared the gospel with someone? How did it go? • Action Point: • 1. Make an Impact List. This is a list of people you can specifically pray for and make a strategic and intentional effort to invite to church. Use the Invite Cards (located at the Church seat pocket in the Worship Center). • 2. List down ways by which your growth group can help in welcoming visitors and newcomers. Here are some suggestions • Join the greeter team! Inform Pastor Vince if you’d like to join this ministry • During the Worship Service, scope your area and try to spot a new person. As you exit the church, invite them to get food in the courtyard. While there, introduce them to other people in church. • Remember: People are not looking for a friendly church. They are looking for a friend. • Prayer: Lord, help me be bold this year and be an ambassador for Jesus to others! • • -- About Missions: • https://woodbridgechurch.org/missions/ • -- Connect with us: • https://woodbridgechurch.org/contact/ • -- Prayer Requests: • [email protected] • -- Give: • https://www.woodbridgechurch.org/give • -- Facebook • / woodbridgecommunitychurch • -- Instagram • / woodbridgecommunitychurchwcc • -- Yelp • https://www.yelp.com/biz/woodbridge-c...
