Chapter 6

Primed for Ignition

One of the reasons God allows trials in our lives is for our own growth so that we can help others in their greatest times of need. This is also how God allows us to know Him—living for His purposes to seek and save the lost, and moving everyone, every day, closer to Jesus.

Life Application

Since you’ve started this Bible Study, how has your worldview and actions toward everyone around you changed?

  • Have you experienced the joy and adventure that comes with leading others closer to Christ in your day-to-day life?

Chapter 7

The Most Important Commandment

Sometimes, seemingly spontaneous moments occur that are actually divine appointments orchestrated by God. You may be God’s only point of contact with certain people you know! God expects all of us to move everyone, every day, closer to Jesus. Ezekiel 33:8 (NKJV).

Life Application

Why do you think loving God and loving your neighbor as your neighbor as yourself is called “The Great Commission”?

  • What happened and how did it draw you closer to God?

Chapter 8

Living for God’s Purpose

Millions of Christians misinterpret Romans 8:28 (NLT) and believe it means that everything will work for our good—and that nothing bad will ever happen to us. When bad things happen, they lose their faith in God. But this verse actually means that when we live for God’s purposes, not ours, “all things work together for good.” The good that God orchestrates is always redemptive, bringing more people to Him!

Life Application

What can you do each day to change your priorities to fulfill God’s purpose while you are on earth?

  • How has your view of Romans 8:28 (NLT) changed?
  • How does that affect your faith?

When we stop doing the first work (sharing our faith), our love for God grows cold: Revelation 2:1–5 (NKJV)

A role of the pastor is to equip us for ministry: Ephesians 4:11–12 (NLT)

God’s sole purpose for coming to earth was the redemption of mankind: Luke 19:10 (NKJV)

Far better to have eternal rewards in heaven than temporary rewards on earth: Matthew 5:12 (NIV)

Jesus transferred to us the responsibility of bringing people to Him: 2 Corinthians 5:18–20 (NKJV)

Our current suffering will be forgotten forever when we see Jesus: Romans 8:18 (ESV)

The world is desperate for the peace that comes from God: Philippians 4:7 (NKJV)
