SESSION 5 Your Calling for Life
FOR GROUP PARTICIPATION These elements of the study are best used with others in a group setting.
How Did It Go Last Week? Share your successes and trials with the group. (10 minutes) Where did you turn when things were hard? What were you hoping for most? And what message of hope did you offer to others in their struggle? And God Said… Read aloud Colossians 3:12 . Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. What is the Point? Read these statements aloud and keep them in mind during the video: • Are you living like a “grace graduate,” or do you recognize your daily need for grace? • Do you see ministry as a part of your whole life, or just something you do occasionally? • When was the last time your sense of calling drove you to the throne of grace in desperation and dependence? Petition Pray this together aloud. Heavenly Father, thank you for calling us to be ambassadors of your grace. We confess that we often live as if we own our lives, offering you moments instead of giving you everything. Help us to live all of life as ministry. Make us women who reflect your compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. We cannot show people Jesus without depending fully on him. Remind us of that daily. Draw us again and again to the throne of grace. In Jesus’ name, amen. Hear the Word
Watch the video. (21 minutes) Let's Talk About That Discuss these questions. (30 minutes)
1. What does it mean to you to reflect the look, tone, and touch of Jesus in someone’s life? Whether you're comforting a friend, encouraging a neighbor, or just showing up for someone in need, your presence says something. The question is—does it reflect Jesus? 2. When are you tempted to live like an “owner” of your life instead of an ambassador? It’s easy to think of ministry as something we step into when we have time or margin. How are you viewing
