Reflection Questions:
1. How did you first learn about the love of Jesus and choose to follow Him?
2. If there was a person that was helpful in your learning to follow Jesus, what were they like? How did they relate to you?
3. What is your greatest fear or frustration when it comes to loving people and sharing the good news of Jesus with those around you?
4. What are you hoping to learn or gain from this B.L.E.S.S. sermon series?
5. Read Colossians 3:12-14 How would you rate your character in regard to how Jesus defines the qualities his followers? What steps can you take to grow in these areas?
6. Read Matthew 9:36-38 What parts of your character and perspective need to change to see the world the way Jesus sees the world? Is there anything described here that you disagree with or find hard to believe?
7. Jesus’s nickname was “friend of sinners” (Matthew 11:16–19 NIV). What changes might you need to make in order to be known as a friend of sinners?
8. Who are some of the people around you where you live, work, and play that you would love to impact with the love of Jesus? Pray for the people you hope to B.L.E.S.S. (Come up with at least 5)
9. How could all of Journey Church simply being a B.L.E.S.S.ing to our neighbors be a strategy for changing our valley and changing the world?
