This week’s message was entitled “Christ in the World”. From Colossians 4:2-6 we heard how we are to respond to the world around us, talking to God and talking to them. In order to better understand this call on our lives, consider these questions:
- To what degree would you describe yourself as thankful and watchful, regularly grateful for what Christ has accomplished and looking forward to Christ’s return? What serves you in this? What would help you to increasingly live this way?
- When it comes to praying for divine activity in the lives of others or for help with your communication, what tends to hinder you? How can you deal with these hindrances?
- When you heard that reading and training aren’t enough to make sharing the gospel easy, how did that affect you? How should this understanding affect the way that you pray and live?
- Could you relate with the temptation to “be available”, waiting for God to drop the perfect opportunity in your lap? How about the temptation to “be comfortable”, desiring smooth conversations and relationships? How do we overcome these temptations?
Let’s pray this week for God’s divine activity in the lives of those around us, and let’s also pray that God would help us to speak clearly, graciously, and winsomely of the Savior.
