VISION

...........................................................................

[ Begin with sharing for one or two minutes the purpose behind discipleship. You can do this by answering the question, "What is discipleship and why do we do it?", by sharing a Scripture about discipleship (such as Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Timothy 2:2, etc.), or asking them to share in their own words why they think discipleship is important ]

...........................................................................

FELLOWSHIP

...........................................................................

1) What is a high and a low in your life since the last time we met?

2) What is something God has been highlighting to you since the last time we met?

3) How did it go applying your obedience step from the last time we met?

4) Is there any sin you need to bring to the light so that God can bring healing in that area?

JOHN 14:16-27, 16:5-15

The Holy Spirit

16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever;

17 the Helper is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

19 After a little while, the world no longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; because I live, you also will live.

20 On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you.

21 The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what has happened that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will follow My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

24 The one who does not love Me does not follow My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you.

26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you.

27 Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor fearful.

...

5 “But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

6 But because I have said these things to you, grief has filled your heart.

7 But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment:

9 regarding sin, because they do not believe in Me;

10 and regarding righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me;

11 and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time.

13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

14 He will glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you.

15 All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.
