Session III - The Need
Welcome to Session III - The Need. Find this session’s summary and objective, key ideas and highlights, and pro tips for facilitating below.
Session III Summary and Objective
Summary: An authentic identification of our personal need for revival and how the Gospel practically covers our sin each day, such that it cultivates our affection for Jesus and motivates sharing that with others.
Objective:
To recognize and embrace our daily need for the Gospel and begin applying it to our everyday thoughts, emotions, activities, and relationships.
Key Ideas and Highlights of Session III
Repentance is not something Christians do one time when they ask Jesus to come into their lives as their Lord and Savior. Christians are to live in a posture of repentance. This means that they have an awareness of sin and their ongoing need for Jesus.
Pro Tips for Facilitating Session III
Help your Team members realize that their need for Jesus is an invitation of joy to return to Him through repentance. Because there is good news, we can face the bad news. For us to live on mission with Jesus, we must have a depth of intimacy that is cultivated when we walk through the door of repentance in the middle of our need. This awareness will increase our affection for Jesus, help us stay intimately connected to Him, and keep us aligned with Him.
This session ties back to Discover A(D) Session 2 - God’s Story. There we realized that the Gospel applies to every situation we find ourselves in. This session opens up a new awareness that the need for Jesus in our lives is also an invitation to draw closer to Him.
