Colossians 4:2-6 is a short but challenging passage. Take time to reflect on the passage then in your group ask some of these questions. The goal is not answers to questions but action plans.
- How would you describe your prayer life? (e.g., intense, lukewarm, sporadic, frustrating. . .)
- How would you like it to be different?
- What change would you need to make in order to improve your prayer life?
- Talk about specific answers to prayer? How have they encouraged you?
- Talk about specific answers to prayer–that where not what you hoped for? How did that encourage or discourage you?
- What are some prayer burdens that you currently have that clearly need God’s power to be answered?
- In what settings, what ways, are non-Christians exposed to you? How would they know that you are a fully devoted follower of Christ?
- Have you found ways to no-threateningly expose people to Jesus?
- What are some “salty” (tasteful) comments you’ve used or have heard to steer a conversation to Christ?
- What is your fear about sharing Christ? What is your joy about sharing Christ?
