BACK TO THE FUTURE
Sharing Life: Part 4 of 6
The Book of Acts: “Sharing Life in Outer Space”
Reading the Confession of Faith & Opening Prayer
Worship (optional)
The Big Idea:
We need each other!
Message Summary:
One of devil’s greatest strategies for destroying Christians is to get them alienated from the community of faith. He tempts us with pride and tries to convince us that we don’t need each other. He deceives us into thinking it is wrong to speak correction into the lives of others. Why does Satan try so hard to destroy relationships and keep us isolated from the community? He
knows we will not survive spiritually on our own. Christianity is a faith that can be shipwrecked, a faith that can be wandered away from. The writer of Hebrews tells us to stay together and always encourage each other to continue on in the faith. The apostle Paul reminds us to fight the good fight of faith and finish the race. We need each other! People are counting on you!
Daily Devotionals & Group Discussion:
Monday - 1 Timothy 1:18-20
Paul admonishes Timothy to “fight the good fight” and to not allow his faith to be shipwrecked. Do you have this sense of urgency with your own faith?
Tuesday - Hebrews 10:23-31
What are 3 things we are urged to do as a community of believers? What are some practical things we can do for each other?
Wednesday - Galatians 6:1-2
How can you become more equipped to help carry others burdens and gently correct them if they are overtaken by sin?
Thursday - James 5:19
Our enemy wants us to believe that it is impossible for us to “wander away from the truth”. How can this spiritual lie affect our commitment to each other as a community?
Friday - 1 Corinthians 1:10
The Bible says that we should agree and not be divided on truth. How can we become perfectly united in mind and thought as the Bible commands?
Saturday - Ephesians 4:1-24
After reading this passage, ask yourself this question: Am I committed to living my life in a manner worthy of the calling I have received, do I bear with the weaknesses of my brothers, and am I devoted to help build up the church in unity?
