 #1- Reviewing this Past Sunday
Maturing in Christ: Disciple Making at Home
Revelation 7:9-12

1. What is your spiritual target as a family? 
2. In response to the first question, how do your time and energy
    reflect that aim?
3. How are you connected to your brothers and sisters in Christ in
    order to reach your spiritual target?
4. Discuss with your family ways to serve and to share the gospel
    with your community.
5. Take a few moments to pray together about how the gospel can
    be proclaimed in and through our homes.

 # 2 - Preparing for Next Sunday
Maturing in Christ: Disciple Making in the World
John 4:7-26

1. Read John 4:7-26 and discuss with someone.
2. Notice in verse 9 there is a mention of assumed prejudice. In
    what ways can prejudice affect a Christian’s testimony in the
    everyday rhythms of life?
3. How did Jesus overcome such prejudice in His willingness to
    make a disciple? (vs 10)
4. What is the end result of what we are looking for in making
    disciples?  (vs 23-24)
