Fearless Unstoppable

We live in a world today where there are many start ups, like Uber and Airbnb, that have managed to succeed and go global. However, there was a start up thousands of years ago, that began with a handful of ordinary people and now spread throughout the world because it was a movement of God. It was the birth of the church. Come join this series, as we get challenged to put aside our traditions, comforts, preferences and programs in order to follow the example of a disciple-making movement that relied upon the Holy Spirit and proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

One of the key values in discipleship is actively hearing and obeying the Word. Therefore, it is important to have accountability to one another for our step of obedience from studying the Word. Spend the first part of your discussion asking – how did your step of obedience go from the last time we met?

Discuss one or more of the following relevant questions.

• Describe a change in your life that you’ve experienced because of your encounter with the Holy Spirit

• Read Acts 3:11-12, 16. Ps Chee shared that often our fear of our lack of power and our fear of our ungodliness hinders us from seeing and stepping into God given opportunities. Can you identify with this statement? Give examples. How does Peter’s response (vs 16) help you address your fears?
• People will not reject our good deeds, but they will reject our good news. Describe a time when you faced rejection with sharing the good news. How did you deal with it?
• How does the Holy Spirit help empower us to be bold in our witness for Jesus?
