INTRODUCTION
  • What is the strangest or most unique job you’ve ever worked?  What made it that way?  
  • What is the most surprising thing that you have found out is part of your current job description?

We all have to work jobs.  Most of us have a formalized structure of work for payment, but not all of us all the time.  Sometimes the pay is scarce (or non-existent).  Sometimes the hours are weird or sporadic.  But working is part of living.  We have to do stuff to produce results… as a person, spouse, parent, child… and yes, a Christian too.  


STUDY  [tap on scripture to read]
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  2 Timothy 4:1-7
  • What does it look like to be prepared to preach the Word “in season and out of season”?
  • What would you say are the “duties of your ministry”?

The Bible is full of the many things that would be included on the job description of someone who calls themselves a follower of God.  There are so many things we are challenged to do.  But none of them is more important than introducing people to Jesus.  


HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  Ephesians 3:16-21
  • What is the most impressive thing to you about God/Jesus/Holy Spirit?
  • Since God is able to do “immeasurably more” than you can “ask or imagine”, what are you regularly asking him to do?

“Bragging” about God/Jesus/Holy Spirit can sound like an odd way of describing what we do.  But it is nonetheless an accurate description.  We serve and amazing God.  We invite that amazing into our daily lives and we help and walk with others in doing the same.  


APPLICATION
  • What area of your life do you need to experience more of the power of God?
  • How can you brag about the amazingness of Jesus to someone new this week?


PRAYER
Pray that God would engage with you in new and powerful ways this week as you brag about him to those around you.
