Message: The Story of You & God

Speaker: Greg Holder

Service Date: May 21, 2023 Plain Print Version

DISCUSSION

     -What is your story with God? It may be that you have had a long walk with Him already. Or it may be that you walked away from the story and are in the process of coming back. It may be that you are simply curious and checking out who Jesus is. Whatever your story is, share a few sentences about where you are in that journey today

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by words, so that no one can boast.  Ephesians 2:8-9

There comes a point in the life of each person that we realized it is not what we have done but what God has done for us.

Jesus said: "The time has come. The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!"  Mark 1:15

There comes that moment when you acknowledge your sinfulness, ask for forgiveness, and turn to Jesus. A new life starts.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17

DISCUSSION:

     -Discuss what it means to be a new creation and for the old to be gone. The new is here!

     -How have you seen this played out in your own life or in the life of someone you know?

This great news, this new life is not meant to be for us alone. We are meant to share it with others.

DISCUSSION:

     -What steps can you take to share this good news?

     -Who in your life shared this good news with you?

     -What steps do you need to take today to move one step closer to Jesus?
