Inima unui conducător (40 min)

 * Închinați-vă împreună, în grupul mare
 * Participanții se despart în grupuri de 3-4 persoane și discută următoarele:
 * Ce înveți despre cum să rămâi în Cristos prin intermediul Cuvântului, rugăciunii, ascultării, R-G-Î, relații și părtășie?
 * În ce domenii ale vieții tale ascultarea de Dumnezeu este o provocare?
 * Ce conflict nerezolvat ai?
 * Ce s-a întâmplat când I-ai încredintat lui Dumnezeu scopurile tale după ultima noastră întâlnire?

Exprimarea viziunii pentru inimă
'Citește Romani 12:3-8. După ce Pavel îi sfătuiește pe Romani să coopereze în lucrarea Duhului Sfânt de a le reînnoi mințile, el vorbește despre una dintre schimbările fundamentale intervine într-o minte nouă: cum ne vedem pe noi înșine. Nu te gândi la tine așa cum obișnuiai să te gândești, ci fă-o evaluându-te într-un mod onest. Asta înseamnă să acceptăm cu umilință cine suntem în relație cu Dumnezeu și cu alți oameni. Nu ar trebui să ne comparăm cu alții pentru că Dumnezeu este cel care dă. El dă o măsură de credință fiecăruia; El dă daruri diferite; El dă roluri diferite. Dar orice ni s-a dat, ar trebui să folosim prin credință, cu toată inima noastră. Nu fi surprins de diversitatea din biserică! Să ne încurajăm unul pe altul ca să folosim credința noastră și darurile noastre cu bucurie, încrezându-ne în Dumnezeu cu toată inima noastră.'

Celebrarea credincioșiei (20 min)
NOTE: Celebrate Faithfulness in the large group so that all can benefit and be encouraged.

Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another.”  


 * Have everyone return to their Iron on Iron small groups, draw their network of missional communities and churches then share and evaluate with their group.
 * What is going well?
 * What is not going well? What obstacles are you facing?
 * What are possible solutions from the other group members?
 * What do you need to do to add the missing characteristics into each group?
 * Where will you start a new group or church this month?


 * Have everyone set goals for improvement from their evaluation and share their goals with their small group. Then have them pray for one another.

New Lesson (45-60 min)
Relevant Topic: Why is it important if we know what has been revealed about being separated from God and needing a Savior?
 * Have participants get into new groups of 4-5 people (or they can continue in their Iron on Iron groups)
 * In the following sections, each group assign verses to each participant. Each participant will then read the passages below and tell what they learned.

Discovery Bible Study – The Gospel

Section 1: Our Problem

God’s wrath at sin: Romans 1:18-25; Col 3:5-6; Ephesians 2:3

Separation from God and need for a Savior: Romans 3:23; John 3:19-20; Ephesians 2:12

The Law exposes our guilt: Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; Galatians 3:21-23

The penalty (wage) of sin: Romans 1:32; Romans 6:23


 * After they have all shared their assigned verses, have each person in the groups share:
 * What caught your attention? (or What did you like best?) Why?

'Conclusion: Every person is separated from God because of their sin, and deserving of punishment. Through our sinful nature, there is no way any person can fulfill the requirements of the law to be right with God (becoming righteous).'

Section 2: God’s Solution

Christ paid the penalty: Romans 5:7-8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18

God provides the way: John 3:16-18; Romans 6:23

Not because of doing good things: Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7

Good works after Salvation: Ephesians 2:10; Titus 2:14


 * After they have all shared their assigned verses, have each person in the groups share:
 * What caught your attention? (or What did you like best?) Why?
 * Why does salvation as a gift glorify God instead of man?
 * How is this different from the way of salvation taught in your previous religion?

'Conclusion: People must depend upon the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, instead of their own good works, to become righteous before God and be received by Him. Only Jesus perfectly fulfilled the righteous requirements of the law. Because of God’s mercy and love, Jesus died as a substitute and sacrifice for all people and was raised from the dead. Those who receive Christ as Lord are declared righteous because of Christ’s work on the cross. Good works are a fruitful result of our salvation.'

Section 3: The Gospel

The Gospel message: Luke 24:45-48; 1 Cor 15:1-8

No other message: Romans 1:16; Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Thessalonians 1:8

Affirmation of the Gospel’s truth, appearing to more than 500: Romans 1:1-4; 1 Corinthians 15:6

Affirmation of the Gospel’s truth, prophecy fulfilled:


 * Genesis 3:15, (which was written around 1,500 BC)
 * Psalm 22:17, (which was written around 1,000 BC)
 * Isaiah 53:12, (which was written around 550 BC)
 * After they have all shared their assigned verses, have each person in the groups share:
 * What caught your attention? (or What did you like best?) Why?
 * Discuss how receiving and proclaiming the gospel has brought joy to each participant.

'Conclusion: The Gospel means “good news”. Therefore, the gospel is good news about Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins, and His resurrection. The Gospel is confirmed as true by Jesus’ fulfillment of prophecy and His resurrection from the dead that proved He is the Son of God. '

'Summary Lesson:  God has declared punishment for sin against all mankind. But because of His love and mercy, He Himself made a way for our sins to be forgiven through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. A person is justified (declared to be right) before God by believing the gospel, rather than by doing good works. A Gospel Definition – “Jesus died for our sins and was raised from the dead. If anyone believes the gospel and by repentance, surrenders himself to Christ as Lord, that person’s sins are forgiven.”  '

Preparing for Mission (20 mins)

 * Spend time in prayer:
 * committing everyone’s goals to the Lord.
