Sent by the Spirit, Empowered by the Spirit | Activated & Empowered | Week 5

The Holy Spirit speaks to each one of us, moving us into mission in our own life circumstances. Sometimes, the Spirit prompts us to make drastic moves; sometimes, the Spirit nudges us to walk reach out to our family, friends, or neighbors. The Spirit continues to actively empower us to share the gospel with those around us. Especially when we encounter spiritual opposition. But rather than obey the voice of the Holy Spirit do we sometimes opt for avoiding unpleasant or awkward interactions with others? The fear of man is a trap that keeps us stuck and afraid to engage in conversations with unbelievers. It’s a real hindrance that keeps us from going where the Lord is calling us to go. Let’s talk about this as we jump into Acts 13. God’s Word provides great encouragement as we are sent out into our work places, schools, and families.  Discussion Questions:1. Has the fear of man affected your life? If so, how? 2. When was the last time you released (shared) your testimony with someone? 3. Who is someone that Holy Spirit is highlighting for you to share your testimony with?
