Presentation transcript:

Discipleship: Knowing Christ Please sit towards the front of the room (6-7 per table) Make a nametag, and Introduce yourselves around your tables

Our mission as a church: to make disciples who are growing in…

Jesus and Making Disciples in John 13 Knowing (13:1-3) ” Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God ” Serving (13:4-5) “he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet” Following (13:6-17) “Do you understand what I have done for you?”

Knowing Christ and Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Questions for your small group For you, what does it mean to “know Christ”? Thinking of the 3 aspects of “knowing Christ” (understanding, trust, intimacy): which one is easiest for you? And why? Which one of the 3 aspects might God be inviting you to grow in the next few months?

Practice to live into: Personal Spending reflective time in Scripture Questions to ask of the text: What truth does this reveal about God? How does that truth intersect with the world or my life? In light of this, what is God’s invitation to me right now?
