HTDO- Discipleship

Icebreaker: What is one normal “adult” responsibility that you wish would’ve been taught in school, because you someone else had to teach you how to do it well? 

READ John 21:15-17

YOU ARE GOD’S PLAN FOR CHURCHES BEING FILLED WITH MATURE, JESUS-OBEYING CHRISTIANS

1- Why do you think God would choose to allow us to be a part of His plan for equipping, training, and teaching younger believers?

2- Why is it important to “disciple” other Christians in the church?

EVERYBODY IS CALLED TO BE SOMEBODY’S SHEPHERD

READ Titus 2:3-8

3- Older women, teach younger women. Older men, teach younger men. How/when/where have you seen this done well? What made you notice it and think it was done well?

4- Do you see this type of Titus 2 discipleship taking place at REVO? Why or why not? Do you see this happening in your own life? Why or why not?

5- We are all called to be somebody’s shepherd. Who are you discipling currently? If you aren’t discipling someone right now, is there someone who comes to mind that you can approach? 

YOUR CALL TO BE A SHEPHERD IS BASED ON JESUS’ GRACE, NOT YOUR OWN WORTHINESS

6- How can you relate to Peter’s story of feeling like you’ve let Jesus down and are not worthy to follow Him? 

7- How is it encouraging to know that we ARE unworthy, and Jesus doesn’t need us to be worthy, because of His grace?

THE PRIMARY QUALIFICATION FOR DISCIPLESHIP IS LOVE FOR JESUS

8- As we talk about the call to disciple others, do you feel unqualified? If so, how is it encouraging to know that Jesus only cares if you love Him?

9- Maybe it’s not feeling unworthy or unqualified, but chances are there is some mental barrier that holds us back from obeying Jesus’ call to shepherd His people. If it’s not worth or qualifications, what is it for you? As a group, use this question to encourage one another in scriptural truths that dispel the lies. 

10- Let’s hold each other accountable as a group! Do you need to be fed or do you need to do the feeding? Or why not both? Identify a person or person(s) you need to approach with a next step. Then as a rGroup, try to hold each other accountable to make sure we obey our Savior!
