On your own or with your life group work through this reading plan to apply this weekend’s message to your life. If you haven’t done so yet, listen or watch the Sunday message below.

Key Takeaways:

1. Jesus calls imperfect people to carry out His perfect mission.
2. All authority in heaven and earth belongs to Jesus.
3. As believers, we have the Holy Spirit within us, empowering us for the mission.
4. Our mission is to make disciples and teach them to obey Jesus' commands.
5. We are called to be intentional in sharing our faith in our personal "mission fields."

Discussion Questions:

1. The sermon mentions worshiping and doubting at the same time. Have you ever experienced this? How did you reconcile your doubt with your faith?
2. Pastor Zac emphasized staying present with God even when we're not living perfectly. Why do you think we tend to retreat from God when we feel unworthy? How can we change this habit?
3. Reflect on the statement "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus." How should this truth impact our daily lives and our approach to sharing the gospel?
4. The sermon talks about finding your "pond" - your personal mission field. Where do you think your "pond" might be? How can you be more intentional in sharing your faith there?
5. What obstacles do you face in being a "fully devoted follower of Jesus"? How can we support each other in overcoming these challenges?
6. Pastor Zac mentioned the importance of community in our faith journey. How has being part of a faith community helped you grow spiritually?

Practical Applications:

1. Identify Your "One": Choose one person in your life who is far from God. Commit to praying for them regularly and look for opportunities to engage with them about your faith this week.
2. Practice Sharing: In pairs, take turns sharing a brief (2-3 minute) testimony of what God has done in your life. Give each other feedback on how to make it more impactful.
3. Next Steps Accountability: Share one concrete step you will take this week to be more intentional in your faith journey. Ask the group to hold you accountable.
4. Daily Authority Reminder: Set a daily reminder on your phone with the phrase "All authority belongs to Jesus." Reflect on this truth throughout your day.
5. Community Engagement: Discuss as a group how you can be more intentional about inviting others to church or your small group. Make a plan to reach out to at least one person this month.

Closing Prayer: 
Thank God for His mission and for trusting us with it. Ask for boldness and opportunities to share faith this week. Pray for the "ones" that group members identified.
