Follow Up on the WOTM

This week:

1. Reminder
2. Admonishment
3. Resources for Group

Reminder:
Make sure to go over last weeks Out of the Comfort Zone Activity with your group to see if they called the two Christian friends asking the questions prescribed in the study guide. Admonish each memeber to fulfill the OCZA (Out of the Comfort Zone) each, this is important to the whole of the study.

Admonishment: 
Do not neglect daily soul care (DSC). Prayer and time in the Word is vital not only to your growth and stability in the faith, but it also makes you a sound a proficient minister. Without DSC you flounder in your faith and become an inefficient leader. DSC is also imperative to the spiritual growth of your Connect Group.

• 1 Timothy 4:16  Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. 
• NOTICE the word save: Means- to save in the technical biblical sense;  to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment,  to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance:  from the punitive wrath of God at the judgment of the last day, 
• positively, to make one a partaker of the salvation by Christ . Since salvation begins in this life (in deliverance from error and corrupt notions, in moral purity, in pardon of sin, and in the blessed peace of a soul reconciled to God)
• So being diligent in watching over how we live and reading and studying God's word, we not only are able to bring the lost a sound gospel message which will lead to their salvation, but, we will also lead God's people in soundness of thought, desires, and action... FRUIT. 

• 1 Timothy 4:15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.

• Acts 20:28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

• Acts 6:4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."
