What's Your Story?

On Sunday, we celebrated life change through Jesus. We witnessed people publicly professing their faith in Christ and taking their next step by being baptized. Baptism is a symbol of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. New life is possible because of Jesus!

Group Discussion Questions:

How has the experience of Sunday and witnessing people being baptized affected the way you look at God?

What did you think of it?

Did it make sense to you?

Have you made the wonderful discovery of knowing God personally?

(Don't assume everyone is a follower of Jesus. Be prepared to lead someone to Jesus right now!!!)

Have you been baptized?

Where would you say you are in your spiritual pilgrimage?

(Tell your personal testimony of how you became a Christian. Keep it to three minutes, using the following outline):

BEFORE - What characterized my life before I trusted Christ.
DURING - How I came to trust Christ.
AFTER - How I am different now.

Have you ever shared your story before? Who would like the opportunity to briefly share their "before, during, and after" knowing Jesus story?

(Let people share their stories. Make sure they don't get off track.)

So, what's your next step?

(Go around the room and ask each person to share what they think their next step of faith is. Whether it's a small or huge step, write it down so you can pray, encourage and help them follow through with it. To be an effective leader/discipler, you need to know what each person's next step is, and take it with them.)
