Happy Monday everyone! Another great Sunday! The following are some questions to consider as we endeavor to work yesterday’s message out of Luke 15:25-31 into our lives.
- We learned from the Prodigal Son’s older brother, three warning signs that we may be losing our missionary focus. Read Luke 15:25-31 again and identify the places where the brother Kept Score, Compared himself with his younger brother, and Complained.
- Of the three warning signs, which one is easiest for you to fall into? Why is that?
- Renewing our missionary focus involves at least three decisions: shifting my focus from self-centeredness to God-centeredness, from temporary values to eternal ones, and from comfort to sacrifice. Give an example of what each of these three “Shifts” could look like in a Christian’s life. In other words, what are some ways to flesh out these three “Shifts in focus?” Consider Oskar Shindler's example.
- Which shift in focus do you feel may be the most difficult for Christians living in America? Which one presents the greatest challenge to you?
Church family, these are important times for the Church in America. I believe we are living in unprecedented times! May our great God help us to maintain a sharp missionary focus as we Make Friends for Eternity... across the street and around the world!
Grace and peace,
Pastor Frank
