SHIFT WORK

Discipleship is an ongoing, ever-evolving process. “Shift Work” is about making critical changes towards spiritual growth. We continually mature in Christ and as we do, our old self–our natural sin-filled self–sloughs off.

The First Shift we need to make is to change the way we think about

Read through these statements and questions and think about each one thoughtfully. In your journal or notebook, record any thoughts or scripture verses that speak to you.

Rob Wegner, teaching pastor at Westside Family Church in Kansas City, says, “As the Church, we should be obsessed with Jesus growing ever-larger in our minds and hearts.”

How obsessed with Jesus are you? Rate yourself on a scale of 1 - 5, with 5 being the most and 1 being the least:

What evidence would convict you of “being obsessed for Jesus”?

Ephesians 1:3 tells us we’re the recipients of every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Write down all the spiritual blessings you’re aware of.

Jesus is more, and we are made for more. What areas of your life have more Jesus?

In what areas of your life do you need more Jesus?

How well are you doing at revealing the fullness of Jesus in every sphere of your life?

Thus far, what’s the biggest thing God has ever done for you? When you think of Christ’s Kingdom, what images come to mind?

What’s the thing you’re most afraid to do when it comes to serving God and why?

If you could go anywhere in the world to serve Christ, where would it be and why?
