FOUNDATIONS: Therefore, Go!

The following questions are to be used as a study aid for the sermon preached by Pastor Tommy Dove at the Grace Place on Sunday, February 23, 2014. To get the most from these questions, go to https://soundcloud.com/#graceplacehermitage and listen to the service first.

These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as the topic for a small group study. For more information on hosting or leading a small group study, click on "GP Small Groups" under "GP Ministries" at www.graceplace.us.

It seems that salespeople are always having a sales meeting.  These meetings are used to educate, motivate and reward the sales staff.   Those are all good things but eventually the sales staff has to go out and sell.  The customers aren’t at the sales meeting; they are out there.  We love our worship services but the lost is not at the church; they are out there.  The Builder says, “Go.”

What is Jesus’ job as the Master Builder?

What is our job as contractors?

How do we get our contractor’s license?

Where are we to go?

How do we make disciples?

Why is baptism so important?

What part are we to plan in teaching?

Why do you think Jesus told them they would never be alone?

Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)
