With or Without You
With or Without You Sermon Discussion Questions Week of February 19, 2017
Getting Started
• We don’t need to wait for everybody else to join in. • Who is watching your actions? Who is impacted by your influence??
Grow 1. What stood out to you from the sermon? 2. Briefly summarize 1 Samuel 13 – 1 Samuel 14:5 3. Read 1 Samuel 14: 6 – 14. Discuss the different roles that Jonathan and his armor-bearer are playing in this passage. 4. Were Jonathan and his armor-bearer’s actions effective? What type of impact did their actions have? 5. Were others influenced by what they did? 6. Can you think of a situation or an area in your life where God is calling you to act? Do you need an armor-bearer to come along side of you or do you need to be an armor-bearer for somebody else? 7. As you are obedient to God and take action, how will this impact your influence on those around you? Why is this important? 8. What obstacles did Jonathan and his armor-bearer have to overcome to be victorious? What obstacles will you need to overcome to be victorious? 9. Be mindful always that we don’t face our obstacles or challenges alone. Read Psalm 144.
Prayer | 2 Timothy 1:7-14
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life - not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you - guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
