SERMON STUDY/REFLECTION NOTES
I. INTRODUCTION
a) Are you losing the passion for life these days?
b) Do you feel you are in a helpless and hopeful situation?
II. LIVING IN THE WORLD: "Being Defined By What Is Defeating You"
a) Often the battle we face is in our thoughts and added the Enemy's thoughts.
b) We might come to think, "this must be it," "there's no way out," "it's just the way it is." BUT IS IT?
III. ABIDING IN THE WORD: "Do You Really Want To Change?"
a) Read John 5:1-15
b) How is God speaking to you through these verses?
c) Why do you think Jesus asked this man if he wanted to be well?
d) If Jesus asked you, "Do you want to be well" or "Do you want change in your life," how would you reply?
IV. GROWING IN THE WAY: "Obeying What Jesus is Saying"
a) What is Jesus asking of this man to do? Does it make sense?
b) The Enemy wants you to claim to be a VICTIM but Jesus declares you the VICTOR!
c) If Jesus were to bring change in your life what might be the expected opposition? What about within you (eg. temptations, sin, etc.)?
V. SURRENDERING INTO THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST
a) Do you want to be well? Do you desire change in your life?
b) Perhaps the below prayer will help guide you towards your next step with Jesus.
c) Feel free to contact our pastoral staff should you desire further prayer and encouragement.
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, thank you for walking into my life. I desire and seek for Your help. Lord forgive me for losing interest in wanting to be well and excusing my sin as the expected norm. By the work of the Holy Spirit please renew my passion to follow you and the courage to take the steps that liberates me, keeps me well, and, on the path for holy living. Thank you for your love and compassion in my life. Amen.
God bless!
