2 Corinthians 4: ⁶The Scriptures say, "God commanded light to shine in the dark." Now God is shining in our hearts to let you know that his glory is seen in Jesus Christ. (CEV)
Hebrews 12: ²We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew that later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne! (CEV)
1. What do we learn from Paul about sharing our faith?

2 Peter 1: ¹⁶When we told you about the power and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not telling clever stories that someone had made up. But with our own eyes we saw his true greatness. (CEV)
2. Describe what you think Peter was referring to?

Acts 20: ³⁴You know how I have worked with my own hands to make a living for myself and my friends. ³⁵By everything I did, I showed how you should work to help everyone who is weak. Remember that our Lord Jesus said, "More blessings come from giving than from receiving."
Hebrews 13: ¹⁶But don't forget to help others and to share your possessions with them. This too is like offering a sacrifice that pleases God. (CEV)
3. How do you explain "more blessings from giving than receiving"?

1 Corinthians 12: ²⁶If one part of our body hurts, we hurt all over. If one part of our body is honored, the whole body will be happy. ²⁷.... Each one of you is part of his body. (CEV)
Ephesians 4: ²⁹.... Say the right thing at the right time and help others by what you say. (CEV)
1 Peter 4: ¹¹.... If you have the gift of helping others, do it with the strength that God supplies. Everything should be done in a way that will bring honor to God because of Jesus Christ, who is glorious and powerful forever. (CEV)
4. Take turns affirming each other for the spiritual gifts you have seen in them.

Matthew 20:²⁶But don't act like them. If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others. ²⁷And if you want to be first, you must be the slave of the rest. ²⁸The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue many people. (CEV)
5. How did Jesus' death on the cross rescue many people?

Ephesians 2:¹⁰God planned for us to do good things and to live as he has always wanted us to live. That's why he sent Christ to make us what we are. (CEV)
Titus 3: ⁸This message is certainly true. These teachings are useful and helpful for everyone. I want you to insist that the people follow them, so that all who have faith in God will be sure to do good deeds. (CEV)
6. What does God want us to do with the message?
