Growing In Christ

OBEDIENCE

Read John 14:21 and explain one way we show our love to the Lord. In what ways can we put our faith into action?

PRAYER -- TALKING TO GOD

Read Philippians 4:6-7 and explain why prayer is so important. It is good to pray often and communicate with God, thanking Him for all that He is doing, and telling Him of your needs. Prayer is your new Privilege as a child of God.

FELLOWSHIP -- FRIENDSHIP WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS

As a new Christian, you are part of a family with many other Christian brothers and sisters. What are several good reasons why you should spend time with your new Christian friends? (Hebrews 10:24-25; Proverbs 27:17)Who are some new Christian friends with whom you can begin to spend time?

BIBLE STUDY -- GOD TALKS TO YOU

How does the Bible (God’s Word) help you? (2 Timothy 3:16-17) As you read and study God’s Word, your faith in Christ and the intimacy of your relationship will grow. Many of your needs will be met through the knowledge you gain from the Bible. According to 1 Peter 2:2, what other benefit do you see from studying the Bible?

WITNESSING -- SHARING CHRIST WITH OTHERS

What is the most important thing that has ever happened to you? What is the most important thing you can communicate to another person? As a new creation in Christ, what new responsibility do we have, according to 2 Corinthians 5:20? An ambassador is really a witness for Christ. Witnessing involves telling others how you invited Christ into your life, and how they can receive Him also. What does Christ instruct each of us to do, according to Mark 16:15? Can you think of two friends you would like to tell about Christ?
