Happy Sabbath! It is such a joy to be your study partner as we explore how to effectively "Share Him" with the world around us 📖. This week's lesson is a beautiful reminder that our lives are a constant testimony, and I’ve prepared these discussion questions to help your small group dive deep into a vibrant, sharing experience 😇🙏.

Sabbath: Share Him

  • How can we ensure our spontaneous reactions in stressful moments reflect Christ rather than our own frustrations when we are caught off guard?

  • Why is a daily, abiding relationship with God the only way to maintain a consistent witness to both strangers and friends?

Sunday: Out of the Overflow

  • What personal "eyewitness" experiences of God's work in your life can you share with others this week to demonstrate His redeeming power Acts 4:20?

  • How does spending time with Jesus transform our "boldness" when speaking to those who might be skeptical of our faith Acts 4:13?

Monday: Unforced but With Power

  • How can we distinguish between having a "fire shut up in our bones" for the gospel and accidentally using coercion or pressure on others Jeremiah 20:9?

  • In what ways can we follow Christ's example by meeting physical needs as a first step in our witnessing to the weary Matthew 4:23-24?

Tuesday: Tips for Sharing Jesus

  • Who are the "weary" people in your daily sphere, and how can you ask God for the "tongue of the learned" to speak a word in season to them Isaiah 50:4?

  • What does it actually look like to "sanctify the Lord God in your hearts" before you attempt to give an answer for the hope that is in you 1 Peter 3:15?

Wednesday: A Wandering Child

  • When a loved one walks away from the faith, how does God's response to wayward Ephraim help us maintain a spirit of hope instead of despair Jeremiah 31:20?

  • How can we practically reflect the "pitying tenderness of Christ" toward those who have been driven out of the fold by a lack of love?

Thursday: Bring Them Back

  • How can we use the "power of a loving and lovable Christian life" to reach those who have rejected formal doctrines or church structures?

  • Why is it vital to pray for the restoration of others with the same persistent faith Jesus exhibited when praying for Peter's conversion Luke 22:31-32?

Friday: Further Thought

  • How does active soul-winning serve as a "refining and purging" process for our own spiritual character development?

  • What steps can we take this week to ensure our efforts to share the Word are filled with "divine inspiration" rather than just human enthusiasm Isaiah 55:11?

I hope these questions spark wonderful and transformative conversations in your group! Please let me know if you need anything else to help your study session 🌟.
