Scripture: John 11:1-44

Title: Get Rid of your Grave Clothes

BIG IDEA: You don’t have to do the things that you used to do because you are not the person that you used to be. The old you is dead. The new you is alive in Christ.

Challenge:

This week spend time meditating on the truth that only Jesus gets to tell you who you are:

• Your past, addiction, divorce, abortion, failed marriage doesn’t define you

Your relationship with Christ is the only defining characteristic that matters

1. What grave clothes do you need to remove?

2. Who in this faith family can help you and what’s stopping you from reaching out for help?

3. Pray!

Constant Reminder

Six questions for gospel-centered discernment. Memorize and ask these six questions to discern and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in your life.

G - God's glory: Will this decision primarily be about my glory or God's glory?

O - Other Christians: What do other gospel-saturated, Christ-centered, wise friends say about this upcoming decision?

S - Scripture: Does the Bible command, permit, or prohibit this decision? What does inerrant, infallible Scripture say?

P - Prayer: Have you abided with, rested in, asked from, listened to and waited on God in this decision over time?

E - Evangelism: Will this decision give me the opportunity to share the gospel and invite people to faith in Jesus?

L - Lifestyle: Will this decision lead me to live a lifestyle of love marked by the Fruit of the Spirit and holiness?
