Table Group Guide

Who Do You Think You Are?

5. I Am A New Creation

Table purpose statement (Can be shared at the start or before the Discovery section):

This group exists for the purpose of discipleship. A disciple is someone who loves and obeys Jesus. (John 14:15) That means our focus is hearing from God and taking steps of faith. Our goal is to multiply another healthy Table. That means one day, some of you will lead a group like this! 

‍

Table Talk (⅓ of meeting) 

  • Candy corn – for it or against it?
  • Briefly share a high and/or low from your week. 
  • Share a way God has been speaking to you through Scripture, prayer, a conversation, etc. 
  • List some ways we can pray for our community, then do it! 

‍

Discussion Guidelines 

  1. Everyone shares in sentences, not paragraphs. 
  2. Focus only on what this passage is saying. (This keeps everyone on the same page) 
  3. Share from your perspective – we won’t argue or give advice. 
  4. Give everyone time to respond. Silence is OK. 
  5. The facilitator will facilitate discussion, not teach. 

‍

Discover what God is saying to you. (⅓ of meeting) 

Big Idea: The transformation of your identity is the hope for the renewal of all things.

Read 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

  • What is speaking to you? 
  • According to this passage, what is our purpose as followers of Jesus?
  • Where do you struggle to let “Christ’s love control” you so you can view people as God does? (v14)
  • Share how you have seen Jesus transform your life or someone else's. 
  • On a scale from 1-10, how well are you living as Christ’s ambassador? Explain your answer. 
  • God uses us to reconcile others to Him. Share what that could look like in your life. 

‍

Go do it. (⅓ of meeting)

  • Imagine wearing a badge that says “Christ’s ambassador” this week. What steps will you take to build Christ’s kingdom?
  • Spend time in worship through the song Send Me by Bethel Music.
