Happy Monday everyone! How important is it to have those in our lives who serve as mentors or spiritual mothers and fathers? It’s vital if we are to achieve all that God has for us! Where would the ancient leaders, Timothy and Titus have been without the influence of an Apostle Paul?
The following are some questions to consider as we seek out spiritual mentors in our lives.
- Describe what delighting in God means to you? What are some tangible signs the Bible gives about a person who delights in God (see Proverbs 8)? Who do you know that demonstrates this quality in his/her life?
- To be a disciple of Jesus is to serve Him as an apprentice. List several qualities and skills Jesus exhibited that show we are following Him faithfully.
- Disciples love God’s Word, obey God’s ways and submit to God’s will. We “love,” “obey” and “submit.” What are some ways that happens in your life?
- Refreshing others or putting others ahead of one’s self is at the core of a missionary heart. Read Philippians 2:1-11 and discuss all of the actions that are described in verses 1-5, and all the actions in the Christ Hymn recorded in verses 6-11. Now read John 13:13-17.
As we go about this week let’s purposefully take “a walk across the room” and connect with those who are wiser and (often) older than us. Many have gained a lifetime of wisdom and experience that we can learn from as we offer them our respect, appreciation, and time!
Have a great week...and let’s continue to pray and believe God for an amazing iMissions Missions Convention!
Grace and peace,
Pastor Frank
