Key Thought:

A disciple of Christ is also an evangelist for Christ!



Key Quote

“We are sent by God to bring people to His house.” – Pastor Bil Cornelius



Start talking. Find a conversation starter for your group.
  • What is your favorite holiday and why?
  • What’s your favorite local restaurant you’ve recommended to someone?
  • What is the most memorable event you ever attended?
  • Have everyone in the group share their favorite joke!



Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
  • What part do we have in filling God’s house?
  • What is the value of having a spiritual partner?
  • In what ways do our lifestyles influence people to connect with Christ?
  • Why should we as believers expect rejection when living a God-honoring life?



Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
  • What 5 people are you inviting to our Easter services?
  • How does Mark 6:7 give you confidence to share the Gospel?
  • How will you make an impact to fill God’s house?
  • Where in your life can you release your dependency on stuff? How will that free you up to minister to others?



Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.

Dear Jesus, thank you for entrusting us to share the Gospel with the world. Give us courage, confidence, and boldness to share it with others. In your name we pray, Amen.



Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.
  • Invite the people God lays on your heart to Easter services this upcoming weekend!
  • Make it a habit to carry Church Unlimited invite cards with you everywhere you go!
  • Identify something that takes away your dependence on God and remove it from your life.
  • Memorize Matthew 28:18-19 to help keep our mission at the forefront of our week.

Be sure that you live in a way that brings honor to the Good News of Christ. Philippians 1:27 NCV

Live a life worthy of the calling you have received.. Ephesians 4:1 NIV

He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— 9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. Mark 6:8-9 NLT

..Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again—it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” Matthew 19:23-24 NLT

And he said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you depart from there. And if any place will not receive you and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.” So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. Mark 6:10-13a NLT

Whatever you do, always work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people. Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward the inheritance he has for his people. For Christ is the real Master you serve! Colossians 3:23-24 TEV
