God’s Messengers Follow His Leading
Big Truth:
God's Messengers Follow His Leading
Matthew 9:9; 4:19; 8:22; 16:24; John 10:27; 21:22; Acts 16:6-10
Bible Verse:
“Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ This is a desert place. And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship.”
Big Ideas:
- God’s sovereign leading doesn’t always make sense, but it should result in our obedience.
- God’s leading is always an invitation to lean into His Word.
- God’s leading should always result in Gospel proclamation and a call to obedience.
Bible Passage:
Acts 8:26-40Identity:
FOCUS: I AM AN AMBASSADOR
SERIES: GOD IS THE MESSAGE – I AM THE MESSENGER
The Kneel Year is an exploration of what it means to worship God with our all (Luke 10:26-28). Worship is not something that is limited to a service once a week, but instead occurs every day, in all of life. We are unceasing worshipers. Worship never stops, it only changes directions. In order to worship God with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind, we must embrace our identity as image bearers. It is out of that identity that we can begin to live for God’s glory in all of life (Colossians 3:17).
Every student should know that:
- The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ that brings salvation to sinners.
- Salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
- Jesus followers have been trusted with the gospel in order to share it with others.
Every student should strive to:
- Share the gospel each month with at least one person who does not know Jesus.
- Practice sharing the gospel using multiple different tools or methods.
Every student should feel:
- Humbled that as believers we have been entrusted with the glorious gospel of our Savior.
- Satisfied in Jesus as the only true Savior
Every student should want:
- To grow in awareness of the false saviors they are tempted to put their hope in.
- To have a softened heart and love for people who are lost
- To take advantage of opportunities to share the gospel with people in their lives who need Christ
