Do Something! Plan


Icebreaker:
How long have you attended Grace Place?
What brought you to the congregation?

Overview:
Read 1 Corinthians 15:58.

If you have been in small group, Sunday school or Wednesday night class with me when the sermon discussion questions are used, you will know I try not to make a big deal out of the fact that I am the one who writes this curriculum weekly for the church. It is not that it is a secret or that I am embarrassed. The fact is that this is my service, my Do Something, to God and the church. God has given me an ability to write and I am willing to use it to His glory and purpose. Writing for the church is not a burden; it is a privilege.  

I recently heard Jim Lyon, General Director of Church of God Ministries, speak and he mentioned how they use Socratic questions, named for the Greek philosopher, Socrates, in their radio ministry to help the listener learn Biblical truths. After the service, I told him that I had been writing what I hoped are Socratic questions for our church for the past eight years. My goal is not that I am glorified but that people learn more about Jesus and how to serve Him through the questions that I write.

I hope you find your service, your Do Something. Don’t ever underestimate the skills and abilities that God have given you! God needs you. The church needs you. Go Do Something!
~~ Wanda O Holt

Discussion:
Why is determination needed in Christian service?
How important is it to give yourself fully to the Lord’s work?
Why is it important for everyone to be involved?

Activities:
The last eight weeks have been focused on looking at what needs are around us, what skills we possess, what tools are available and what the potential is for good. As a group, make a plan to do something in your community. What will you do?

Prayer:
As a group, pray for a plan to accomplish what God has lead you to do.
