How You Can Be A Fruitful
Witness
Group Discussion Questions
- Share briefly
how you personally received the assurance that Christ had come into
your life. What steps led to your trusting Christ? How could this
be helpful in sharing Christ with others?
- List and discuss
Scripture verses which you think are especially helpful in giving
a person an assurance of his salvation.
- Discuss the
relationship between a consistent daily prayer life and a sensitivity
to the convicting work of the Holy Spirit.
- Find examples
in the Book of Acts where the early Christians were filled with the
Spirit. How did their subsequent action demonstrate joy? What was
the impact on their witness?
- People today
face tight schedules with limited amounts of time. With your group,
think of creative ways that a Christian can maximize his time to give
witnessing for Christ top priority.
- You have heard
"Success in witnessing is simply taking the initiative to share Christ
in the power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the results to God." Share
with your group how this statement can be a source of encouragement
to you. If you talk to someone in the power of the Holy Spirit and
that person does not receive Christ, why should you call that "successful
witnessing"?
- When you are
witnessing, why is it important to talk about Jesus Christ? Does this
mean that you are never to talk about politics, the church, business,
or other things when you are telling others about Christ? (See Romans
10:9,14
; John 1:12)
- Why is faith
on your part important in bringing others to Christ? Discuss how your
faith works in the lives of the people you talk to. How do you use
faith to fight against your spiritual enemies? (See Ephesians
6:10-18; Hebrews
11:6)
- Is there any
one country, people group, or segment of society with which God has
especially burdened you? Share this with your group. In addition to
praying faithfully, what are some other steps you can take to reach
these people for Christ? Discuss a strategy for teaching these goals.
