As You Go: Your Story

May 30/31, 2015



READ Acts 26:12-29
Saul turned Paul has one of the most powerful stories in the Bible. 

• What are the points of Paul's story that you find most compelling? 
• Do you feel that you need to be speaking to kings to make a difference? 
• Would you agree or disagree that through the lens of Paul's transformation, there's hope for all of us to become more like Jesus as we go? 

SHARE with each other a story from the Bible that means a lot to you. What is it about this story that touches you? What have you learned as you've spent time contemplating this story? What makes you passionate about it?

What about your story? How does that fit into God's story? Can you define your story and explain it simply? Maybe it's time to come to know your own story. CHECK out the next steps below for some ideas. HELP each other fine tune your stories.

What about other people's stories? How do their stories intersect with your story and with God's story? Often, the best way to share our story with others is to listen first to their story. Are you intentional about building relationships and getting to know a person? Do you seek to LISTEN and ASK good questions to clarify and draw out a person's story? 

How do you LIVE OUT your story as a way of sharing with others? Are you aware of those people God places in your life each day who need to see Jesus? 

• SPEND TIME with your small group sharing your story.
• SHARE with your group how your story has intersected with another person's story. CELEBRATE those moments God has brought you together for His purposes. 
• MAKE A LIST of people in your lives who need to hear God's story. TAKE this list with you this week to continue praying for people as they journey. 
• PRAY Colossians 4:2-6 together.
• PRAY for opportunities to share with others.
