Purpose: We want to review things with you to answer any questions or help with situations that could occur.

Luke 14:25-27

  • Question: What do you understand these scriptures as saying to you?
  • Question: Who would be the most challenging relationship for you to keep God above?
  • Question: What if your (spouse, kids, parent) did not want to be a disciple (or left) what would you do?
  • Satan will use relationships closest to you to try to pull you away.
  • Don't think these things will never happen to you - never underestimate the devil
  • v26 - Even his own life
    • What will you need to overcome?
James 4:7 - Temptations will come but you need to resist them - fighting for your life/salvation.

1 John 1:5-10
  • Even when you sin after you are baptized then the blood of Jesus will continue to purify you from all sin if we stay in the light
  • We should confess our sins and having discipling relationship helps us to take care of one another
  • Question: If someone approaches you and talks about how many changes they have seen in you. What should you tell them (role play)
Matthew 7:21-23
  • Question: What do you think the heart of what Jesus is saying in these scriptures?
  • Question: Biblically speaking, because someone goes to church  does that make them a Christian? Are they a Christian because they are a good person? What if they know a lot about the Bible, does that make them a Christian?
  • That means you are saying that the majority of people in the world are lost. How does that make you feel?
  • Make God feel said but God has a plan for them - 1 Timothy 2:1-6
Plan for tomorrow:
Do you believe that Jesus was the Son of God, died for your sins and rose on the 3rd day?
Acts 2:22-24
  • v22 - The miracles Jesus did proves he was God's son
  • v23 - He died on the cross for your sin
  • v24 - God raised him from the dead
What is your good confession?
Romans 10:9-10
  • Confess with your mouth (acknowledging God and everyone around you that you nor anything else will be the Lord of your life,expect Jesus)
  • It is not the confession that justifies you it is your heart that God is looking at.
Who will baptize you?
Who would you like to be there?
Let's meet 30 early so we can pray together
