Key Scripture

And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

How decisive are you on a scale of 1-10? Why do you think you’re that way?
What was your last difficult decision to make? How’d you make it?

Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.

Read Acts 20:22. Describe what it means to you, right now, to be compelled by the Spirit. No wrong answers.
Revisit Acts 20:22-24. What can you learn from Paul?

Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.

Talk about a time you were prompted by the Spirit of God to do something. How’d you know it was the Holy Spirit? What did you do?
Revisit Acts 20:22-24. What can you learn from Paul?
What decision do you need to make right now that will require significant faith?
How can you glorify God in your daily tasks with uncommon confidence?

Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.

God, we want to be compelled by Your Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, we invite You to rule our decisions, especially when we don’t know what’s ahead. And, we need Your comfort when we face resistance. Give us an uncommon confidence to glorify You with even our smallest decisions. We love You. Amen.

Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.

How can we challenge each other to really live compelled by the Spirit’s prompting to share God’s good news for His glory?
