Acts 11:19-30

The Life of an Authentic Christian Should be Marked by...

1. Evangelism

2. Discipleship

3. Sacrifice 

In all these things, our aim should be to resemble Christ most accurately in our Life and Character. 

Application Questions:

- What are the obstacles to you sharing your faith and the Gospel of Christ? How is God breaking down those barriers today?

- What are you practically doing in your life today to grow in your knowledge of, and love for, your Savior Jesus?

- How can you eagerly and actively participate in the life of the church? (i.e. Sunday service, small groups, classes, events, accountability, mentorship).

- What are the things that are most difficult for you to sacrifice? (i.e time, money, possessions, hobbies, career, etc.).

- What part of your life and character would you (and others) say resembles Jesus Christ the least?
