SESSION 6 Living as an Ambassador
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, this week, did you speak into another person’s life as an ambassador of God’s truth and grace? Were there situations where fear or insecurity made you hold back? Share how that went with the group. Did anything help you remember who you are in Christ this week, or did you find yourself slipping
into “gospel amnesia?” And God Said… Read aloud Colossians 3:15–16 .
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. What is the Point? Read these statements aloud and keep them in mind during the video: • What fear holds you back from stepping into the life God has called you to? • Where are you tempted to forget your gospel identity and shop for it elsewhere? • What would it look like to let the story of Jesus (not just the rules) dwell richly in you this week? Petition Pray this together aloud. Jesus, I confess that I often try to do life with others in my own strength and then wonder why I feel tired, afraid, or disqualified. Remind me today that you live in me. You’ve given me your Spirit to help, your peace to guard, and your gospel to proclaim. Forgive me for trying to be what only you can be. Replace fear with confidence in your sufficiency, and heal my forgetfulness with deep, soul-satisfying truth. Let your Word live in me so fully that it spills out in my words, my presence, and my relationships. Give me grace and wisdom to point others to you. In Jesus' name, amen. Hear the Word Watch the video. (23 minutes) Let's Talk About That Discuss these questions. (30 minutes) 1. When has fear kept you from stepping into someone’s pain or being honest about your own? What was the fear behind the fear?
