We’ll look at how this sin can poison the church, a home and any relationship. You may be surprised and challenged in ways you just might not have expected.

ORGANIC OUTREACH: SHARING GOOD NEWS NATURALLY 3
“Planting and Watering”

Day 2- John 3-4
Day 3- John 5-6
Day 4- John 7-8
Day 5- John 9-10
Day 6- John 11; Acts 2

Organic Outreach- Read Section 3 this week
Memorize/Reflect - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
Personal Reflection- Are there ways I subtly seek to take credit for the work God does in reaching people and changing lives? If so, how can I be more intentional about giving God the glory and not taking it for myself?
Discussion- What are some potential dangers of taking too much credit when a person comes to faith in Jesus? What are some of the potential dangers of taking the blame if a person does not respond to the Gospel and receive Jesus?
Prayer Direction- Ask God to open doors for you to tell your story of faith.
“Live It!” Challenge -100 Words Exercise- Take time to write a personal testimony that is one hundred words or less. You’ll be amazed at how short this is. You might even want to write two or three different brief testimonies. Look at the examples in this chapter to help get you started. Identify an area you have experienced personal growth or transformation and let this shape your testimony. Also, try to capture God’s part in the process. Remember, the goal is not to prepare a speech you can memorize. This exercise is to help you learn to be brief as you tell your stories of faith.
October Prayer Focus: Continue praying for people you love and care about who do not yet have a saving friendship with Jesus. Pray for people to receive the love and forgiveness of Jesus. Ask God to inspire some heavenly celebrations as men, women, and children come to faith in the Savior!
October-December: Our spiritual discipline this quarter is “Celebration!” Spend time this week celebrating the gift of salvation. Think about the price Jesus paid and the love God has given to you…and thank Him!
