Lesson 13 (Sept 21-27), A Community of Servants

Agents of Change

  1. What does it mean to be a "living sacrifice?" If there is such a thing as a "dead sacrifice," what would it be? How is a living sacrifice different from that?
  2. What kind of a person would be "Christ's hands," and how would that be different from "Christ's feet?"
  3. What are things that make it difficult to be "God's perfume?"
A Servant Remnant
  1. What made Moses willing to give up his opportunity for eternal life that his people might be forgiven? Was it possible for God to accept such an offer?
  2. What made the people respect Moses as a leader? Was it his leadership skill? Was it his servant leadership? Was the fact that he could perform miracles?
Reaching Souls
  1. How much are Adventists fulfilling Christ's command to "heal the sick and raise the dead?" Who all are expected to fulfil that?
  2. What about the command to "cleanse the lepers and drive out demons? Is that for pastors or laymen to fulfil?
  3. In ministering to a person's need before trying to witness to him/her for Christ, a wrong motive?
Grace Within the Church
  1. What kind of a person can be called a saint? Can we identify some in our church as saints?
  2. Should the church examine students' lives before letting them enrol for the ministry? What kind of things should be checked? What qualities are necessary to be a pastor?
  3. Why was Jesus so anxious to remind his disciples to "love one another?" How well has the church followed that command?
Encourage Each  Other to Good Works
  1. What makes it easier to do things in a group rather than alone, whether good or bad?
  2. What are ways we can encourage a person to keep doing the good they are doing?
  3. What projects can your Sabbath School class initiate that will put into practice what we have studied this quarter?
