Service"
by Alan McCormick, Jeff Shelton & Paul Swaim
Dalton Gardens Church of Christ
November 28, 2010
Read John 6:1-12
-
Why did Jesus take the time to feed these people? What was it that touched his compassion about their situation?
-
How often are you moved about the hungry people in our world? When was the last time you were moved to action? It may seem like an impossible situation to fix, yet so was feeding 5000 on the shore of Galilee.
-
How, as a church, can we make a difference to the lost and hurting people in our world who don’t have enough to eat, wear or often a place to sleep?
-
Do you think this is important for us to be involved in as a church?
-
Write a prayer asking God how you can help the hurting in our world. Make sure and listen for His answer.
Read Mark 1&2
-
Why is it that Jesus didn’t heal everybody? In fact why didn’t and doesn’t Jesus do that then and now? Wouldn’t it show His awesome power? Is it not important to Him that people are relieved from their hurting? Or is it that God has chosen us to be the providers of needs for the poor?
-
We would ask that you go and read all the passages in scripture about the poor and our responsibility to them. It is astounding how much God cares for them and how we have missed that message.
-
We need your input on how we should go about this. We believe God has called us to be the people who pass out the baskets of food to the hungry. Won’t He give us more than we need and allow us to help others?
-
Write a prayer after consideration and pledge to God some ways that you will make a difference in 2011 to the hurting and underprivileged.
Read Matthew 25:1-46
-
What do we do with this passage? What does it mean? What are we supposed to do because of it? Don’t we really want to be the best servants of Jesus that we can be? Doesn’t God give us a hint on how we can do that?
-
Write a prayer asking God to soften your heart to the struggle of the hurting in our world.
