2.WORD

Sermon Topic:What is Discipleship?

(Philippians3:10-11)

By SP Chris Kam

  • Read the scripture passage.
  • Do a THREE-MINUTE SUMMARY of the sermon highlighting KEY POINTS – you do not preach the whole sermon again, as the majority of your cell members would have heard the sermon over the previous weekend. In this way, we want to allocate more time for sharing in the cell through the application questions below.
  • Transcript of the sermon at:

Application Questions

  1. What is the most significant thing the Holy Spirit spoke to you about through this sermon?
  1. “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13) – What do you think made the religious people said that Peter and John had been with Jesus? It had to be something observable.
  1. Is it possible for someone who says they are followers of Christ, yet does not exhibit the life of Christ? What has gone wrong? Can you describe some of the behaviours in your office, schools, colleges, home, community and even church? Are you guilty of some of these?
  1. What do you think the term “consumeristic Christians” mean?
  1. What does it mean to be “with Him” every day? How are you doing that? Can someone help you with that?
  1. Is there someone you are helping to know Christ and helping that person to be with Him? If not, are there people you would like to? For parents, what about your children?
  1. In what ways are you like Christ? Are you able to articulate them?

Note to Word leader:

As you are preparing for this session, this is a great time to pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you to use the questions efficaciously. You can select, modify or entirely create your own questions, according to the needs of your CG.
