Title: Proclaiming to Others
Text: Colossians 4:2-6
The letter to Colossae was written by Paul while he was in prison to remind the church the sufficiency of Christ for salvation. If Christ is sufficient for our salvation, the greatest gift we could ever receive, we should proclaim what He has done with excitement.
General Questions:
- The Gospel is something that we should be excited to share to the world. What are some things that hinder you from sharing about God and His love?
Perspective Questions:
- In the sermon, we are called to pray as part of how we proclaim the gospel. Why is prayer important in the proclamation of the gospel? Is this congruent with your own prayer life?
- We proclaim the gospel by living out our faith and we are meant to be living testimonies of the salvation that we have received. What are some things that taints our testimony? Are there beliefs or worries that stop us from living out our faith in the world?
- What should we consider to ensure that our conversations are full of grace and the power of God? What might make it challenging to do so in the world? What can we hold on to so that we will not falter?
Application Questions:
- Ps Jeff shared about how he prays for people through journalling and messaging them. For you, what can you do to inculcate this habit of praying for the lost into your lifestyle? What might be some obstacles and how can you overcome them?
- How can the lifegroup support and encourage each other to live out our faith in the world? What kind of support do you want or need the most?
Title: Celebrate Jesus
Text: John 12:12-19 (main text), John 12:37-43 (sub text)
We can truly celebrate Jesus only when we have the right understanding of who He is. Jesus may not be the Saviour we expected or wanted, but He is the Saviour we need.
Perspective Questions:
-
Reflecting on your life, when did God’s promises (or your hope regarding God’s promises) turn out to be different from what you expected? What helps you to trust in God when your expectations are at odds with what He wants to do?
-
What were some difficult circumstances that you went through where you later realized that God was doing something important through them? What was God doing? How have these experiences affected the way you look at the challenges you face?
-
Think back over your relationship with Christ. In what ways has your understanding and expectations of Christ changed over the years to align more appropriately with who He truly is?
Application Questions:
-
Jesus may not be the Saviour we expected or wanted, but He is the Saviour we need. How does this understanding affect the way we share the Gospel?
-
How can we grow in our conviction to share the Gospel with people who need the Saviour? What are some ways we can partner our LG members to spread the Gospel this Easter?
The Jesus of Easter claimed He’s the answer to all these bigger questions of life.
This Easter, we are inviting you to consider Jesus, just like the billions of others who have considered and lived their entire lives with Jesus at the centre.

General Questions:
-
Think about the people you interact with the most every week. What are some of their views towards religion? How do they see topics like death, success, and purpose?
-
In light of the different views people hold towards life and death, what is unique about the gospel message that Paul mentioned in Romans 1:16-17?
Perspective Questions:
-
“Salvation is God reaching out to us and not us reaching out to God.” How does this idea impact the way Christians see the world and make decisions in life? How do we distinguish between someone who does religion (DO) and someone who follows Christ (DONE)?
-
Think about ourselves and the fellow believers around us. What might cause us to feel “ashamed” of the gospel sometimes? What common difficulties do we face in sharing the gospel?
-
Other than timidity in sharing, what are some other possible signs that we are not fully convinced of or are ashamed of the gospel?
Application Questions:
