Disciples REACH their NEIGHBOR
When is the last time you have reached out to someone about your faith? Do you know how to explain the gospel to someone who is lost? Learn to see your lost co-workers, strangers, and many others not as the enemy to shun, but as people who are deeply loved by God and need a Savior.

Discussion Questions
Who is your NEIGHBOR?
One time, when Jesus said that the second greatest commandment was to love your neighbor, a lawyer asked Him: “Who is my neighbor” (Luke 10:29)? Jesus answered him by telling the story of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37). How did Jesus end His story? With the words “Go and do the same.” Discuss as a group who your neighbor is as you journey through your day. Who do you work with, go to school with, pass by in the store, or on the road?
How much does God love His CHILDREN?
We are called children of God all throughout the New Testament (John 1:12; Gal 3:26; 1 John 3:1; Rom 8:14-17; Mt 5:9; 2 Cor 6:18). In some ways, every human is a child of God because He created everyone in His image. But the majority of humans have rebelled as His children and they’ve become lost. This is why Jesus said that He came to seek and to save the lost. If your child was missing, how much would you search for him or her? What should this mean regarding your passion and effort for the lost souls of this earth?
Do you REJOICE when someone REPENTS?
How excited do you get when you find out that someone has turned their life over to Jesus Christ? Read about the wonderful connection between joy and salvation (Luke 15:6,7,10,32; Zeph 3:17; Ps 51:12; 1 Pt 1:8-9; John 15:11). Is this why watching a baptism brings joyful tears to your eyes? When is the last time you’ve felt joy when you heard about someone’s salvation experience?
Who is “THE ONE” in your own life?
We can get overwhelmed when we think about all the different lost people who need Jesus Christ. Therefore, start with one person who is far from God and witness to him or her. Pray for that person daily. Show them the love of Christ in a genuine and sincere way. Follow the Spirit’s leading as to when and how to share spiritual insights.
