Look Ahead
Obedience and intentionality are crucial to following Jesus. Jesus called us not to head knowledge but rather to obedience. The same applies in reaching our ONES. We need to first pray and then be intentional. Pray because God will tell you whose heart is open and intentional to get with them and share your story. Take one step towards obedience and intentionality with your ONES this week. Come back next week ready to share
Notes
Jesus didn't leave us with a suggestion but rather a command. TO GO and TO MAKE…. He gave the call , its up to us to be obedient and intentional with actually doing it. Discipleship isn't the Pastors job, the churches job, but each and every person who calls on the name of JEsus job. It’s something we GET to do not GOT to do. And above it all we have the Lord of heaven and earth with us every step of the way. Leadership tip Accountability is a big part of leading others. WE hold others accountable as they also hold us accountable. This is not a place of shame but rather encouragement along the way. Its ok to ask your group, how’d it go? As a leader set the stage by going first and being honest how it went for you first.
