Chapter 3: Jesus is
Lord
How would you define the statement “Jesus is Lord?”
Do you agree that we want to be boss of our own life?
Looking to the questions at the close of this chapter, read
Matthew 18:1-4. How does Jesus answer
the question of the disciples, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” What is challenging and what is freeing about
Jesus’ answer?
Everyone one of us has things in our lives that could be the
gods, taking us away from the one true God.
What idolatry must you confess?
At Ascension, what things become lord in our
congregation? A great way at this is
asking, what would people get really upset about if it was changed, even if for
a very good reason? What would you get
really upset about?
If Jesus is truly Lord in your life, what would you think of
doing differently?
If Jesus is truly Lord in our congregation, what might we
think of doing differently?
The last question of what would Ascension look like if we practiced and acted as Jesus is Lord is a great one as we strive to trust God in leading us. If we trusted God was at work in our congregation, I believe we would have the finances, the people, the energy and the excitement to boldly make Christ known. These last couple weeks have been amazing.
