The Proximity Principle

BIG IDEA:
Christ-followers put themselves in proximity with people who don't know Jesus.
TEACHING POINTS:
  1. Proximity means intentionally living life with those who don't know Jesus.
  2. Proximity means loving uninvited and overlooked people.
SCRIPTURE: Luke 14:1-24

IN THE WORD:
  1. Read Luke 14:1-24, using two different versions.
  2. Retell the scripture passage in your own words.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
  1. What does the scripture tell me about God, Jesus, or His plan?
  2. What does the scripture tell me about people, or more specifically, me?
  3. If this is really God’s Word, what change will I make in my life?
  4. Who will I share this scripture with this week?
