Study 7: Go

Pray

Ask God for the courage to go out amongst the lost

Review

Take ten minutes to review how you got on with all of the actions you have commited to so far. Think about the following questions:

  • Have I been doing what I committed to doing?
  • How is it going?
  • What is God teaching me through these studies? Where do I need to go deeper?
  • How is God answering my prayers?

Read

Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans, but only to the people of Israel—God's lost sheep”

Matthew 10: 5-6 (NLT)

Reflect

  • What does this verse tell me about Jesus?
  • What does this verse tell me about myself?

As we saw in Study 5, Jesus' instruction to pray for harvest workers is immediately followed by his instruction to his disciples to go. He is very specific about who they are to go to, but it is worth noting that his instructions vary depending on context (compare with Luke 9: 2, Luke 10: 1, Matthew 28:19 and Acts 1: 8)

In Study 3 the disciples went with Jesus and saw what he was doing. Now he sends them on ahead of him to do the same

Practice: Meeting people where they are

  • Go to where people are rather than gather them to where you are
  • Always be looking for new opportunities to share
  • Actively move from place to place even if you are seeing success in one location

Action

Reflecting on the practice and the questions below write down at least one thing you will do (or stop doing) this week

  • Where is God asking you to go this week?
  • Will you go?

Share

If you are doing this in a group share your action statements and pray for each other. If you are doing this on your own we strongly recomend you share with at least one other person
