Piety, Study, Action [Cursillo]

[Posted on behalf of Bruce]

I have scanned the "Cursillo Card" for the discussion part of their small group meetings. As discussed last time when Rod talked about personal accountability we thought we would give this a try and I will lead us through it.

The attached gives some questions to think about if you get a chance and remember we don't all need to respond to all of the questions - or indeed any.

PIETY: GROWING IN HOLINESS

"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection." - Philippians 3:10

What has helped me grow closer to Christ this week?

  • Uplifting experiences
  • Moments of challenge and struggle
  • Other special times

When have I been most aware of Christ's presence this week?

STUDY

"Be transformed by the renewing of your minds. so that you may discern what is the will of God." - Romans 12:2

What have I read, seen, heard or reflected upon this week that has helped me...

  • to grow closer to Christ
  • to understand His purpose for my life
  • to understand my environments so that they can effectively be transformed for Christ

Through...
Bible study, home groups, other study,
Spiritual books or magazines,
Audio-visual media,
Interactions with other people.

ACTION: SHARING YOUR FAITH

"Go therefore and make disciples... " - Matthew 28:19
"Just as the Son of Man came, not to be served but to... serve..." - Matthew 20:28

  • In which areas am I seeking to serve Christ?
  • Have I shared Christ's love with another this week?
  • What action did not work out as I had hoped or planned, and what have I learnt?
  • What action have I planned for this week?
  • What can we do to spread Christ's love?
