If you have a gifted evangelist in your church, ask them to explain why and how they share the Gospel with others.
If you have a gifted evangelist in your church, ask them how, based on your gifts, you could work with them to grow fully devoted followers of Christ.
If there is a new Christian in your church, ask how they are going and how you might help meet any needs they have.
In your small group, discuss the different ways people might experience God during the worship service.
Consider the advantages of a worship service over personal worship.
Ask the senior leader of your church to explain why attending the worship service is important. Discuss the answer with your friends and family. Provide the leader with feedback.
Write down three reasons why you go to the worship service. Invite someone else to do the same and compare notes.
Acquire a high quality illustrated story Bible and begin reading it on your own (and with family or friends) purely for the simple enjoyment of the stories of God's journey with his people.
Speak out about the positives of a person or current situation (or how things could clearly be worse) when in any negative sounding discussions this week (but then of course work to make the situation better).
Take time before meetings this week (e.g. at meals with your family, a leadership or team meeting, a mentoring appointment, etc.) to think about a celebration point that relates to that individual or group as a whole and then share that point in the meeting.
Share with someone why you believe they have a particular gift that is better developed in them than in yourself.
Ask your congregation/small group/team/family/friends what unique gift they personally brought to worship this week with which to bless God and encourage the church.
As a child I spent hundreds of hours playing with Lego. Out of my large suitcase of mixed blocks and colours came houses, tractors, people and various unidentifiable but lovingly crafted clumps of creativity.
It’s common these days for words to end up attracting a meaning that is the opposite of what was originally intended. “Wicked” for some now means “fantastic” and something can be both “cool” and “hot” depending on the crowd you’re with. It might come as a surprise that the Church has been at this sort of thing for years.
Speak with at least one person you do not normally speak to at the worship service this week.
Proverbs 27:12 (NIV)
