Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Faith Grows as You Give It Away
April 27, 2025
Scriptures
Key Points
- Christians receive the Holy Spirit at salvation; there’s no need to wait for a separate experience. We don’t need to wait to start sharing the Gospel.
- Sharing your faith grows your faith—increases joy, maturity, and satisfaction with God.
- The Gospel has supernatural power to transform lives—it’s not our power but God’s.
- The Word of God never returns void; every seed you plant will fulfill God’s purpose.
- Tools for evangelism:
- 15-second Testimony
- I used to be __________, but then __________. Now I’m __________.
- Napkin Gospel (3 Circles)
- 15-second Testimony
- Communion reminds us weekly to live the Gospel and share it.
- We are called to return to the broken world with God’s truth, grace, and love.
Discussion
- The sermon mentioned going “full speed ahead” in life. Can you relate to this? Share an experience where you’ve either burned out or stalled out in your faith journey.
- Reflect on the moment you accepted Christ. How has your enthusiasm for sharing your faith changed since then?
- What are some reasons you hesitate to share the gospel with others? (e.g., fear, feeling unqualified, etc.)
- How does knowing you already have the Holy Spirit change your confidence?
- How does knowing that God’s Word never returns void (Isaiah 55:10-11) encourage you to share your faith more boldly?
- Take a few minutes to craft your own 15-second testimony using the format: “I used to be ___, but then ___, and now I’m ___.” Share your testimony.
- Who is one person you can intentionally share the Gospel with this week?
- All believers have the Holy Spirit. How does this truth impact your view of your ability to share the gospel?
Application
- Write your 15-second testimony this week and share it with at least one person.
- Practice the Napkin Gospel with a friend or family member to get comfortable sharing the story of salvation.
- Ask God to show you if you’re being called to stay, wait, or go in any area of your life—and obey.
