Getting to Know YOU
1. Have you ever blessed someone or played a part in the salvation of a friend, and it later came back to you in a big way as an unintended or unexpected consequence blessing you or saving you from some disaster?
2. Have you ever felt “compelled” to share Christ with someone? Did you obey that “feeling”? How did it go?
Passage to Ponder
1. Read Luke 14:15-23. What or who is Jesus talking about in this passage? What should your response be to this passage? How serious does Jesus take His Kingdom business?
Show Me the Way
1. Transformation is the true goal of the ministry of Rockwood Church, how is that different than just getting people saved? What would be the ramification of such a church-wide focus?
2. What has been your one big take away from this series of messages?
