THE POWER TO CHANGE   - FG Discussion Questions

Jesus wants you to deepen your relationship with Him!

THERE IS MORE! However much of God you have there is always more.

John Stott put it like this in his final sermon:

God wants His people to become like Christ.

Christlikeness is the will of God for the people of God.

He gave three passages from the Bible to illustrate this, one past, one present, and one future.

Romans 8:29 (Past)

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

2 Corinthians 3:18 (Present)

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory,

are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

1 John 3:2 (Future)

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Consider how hungry am I for more of God?

Then prayerfully consider/discuss the following questions:

1). Which fruit of His Spirit would I most like to see more of in my life?

Why that one?  (Galatians 5:22-23)

2). Which gifts of The Spirit do I eagerly desire and why?

3). Ask God is there a need for repentance, forgiveness, or healing of past hurts in my life so that Holy Spirit can flow through me more freely especially as I disciple others.

Maybe ask someone to walk alongside and pray with you,

after all that is what Discipleship is all about!

Note: For those wanting more see John Stott's Final Sermon:
