email (drodgers@emmanuelbaptist.com) or text (419.617.9555)


ICEBREAKER:
I put this in the Soul Care notes for fun.

If you so choose, begin your Soul Care time by singing that great, deeply theological song “Father, Abraham.”  

If you don’t know the song go to  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o_J30x6E6s

or listen to it here.
Should have told Sunday night groups if they did this to send pictures!

DISCUSSION HELP:  
If salvation were by human effort, we could boast.  Since salvation is all of grace, what is the proper response of the redeemed?

• WORSHIP
• SINGING:  
• Reflect on the songs we sang this week.  You can see them at http://blog.emmanuelbaptist.com/songs-for-sunday-october-4th-2015/
• Prepare for this next Sunday by realizing worship is not about my preferences.  It is about God glorifying 
• PRAYER:  
• Pray Biblical prayers that are focused on God and thankful for what He has done for us through Jesus.  
• BIBLE READING:  
• Read God's word with the purpose of knowing God and Jesus more.  
• DAILY LIVING:
• Looking for how to bring God glory and honor in everything you do.
• THANKFULNESS
• REFLECTION
• Pray, Journal and/or think about the many blessings you have in Jesus Christ.  A helpful resource for this is The Gospel Primer.
• SHARING
• Talk with others about what God has been doing in your life.  Encourage other believers with the mighty works of God.   Clearly share the Biblically-based, life-changing Gospel with those who don't know Jesus.  

Your group could probably come up with more.

What can your group do during your meeting this week to celebrate this amazing grace?

Look above and think about ideas: 
Share your testimonies.
Sing songs if you and your group cannot sing use the songs on blog.emmanuelbaptist.com for songs.
Pray.

What can your group do in future meetings to celebrate this amazing grace?

PRAYER HELP:

This month’s ministry focus is our church and other churches.

Take some time as a group to pray for Emmanuel Baptist Church. 

Remember prayers of adoration (praising God for who He is), thanksgiving (praising God for things He has done), supplication (asking God for his provisions).

If you want to share what you were praying with others you can email some of your prayer items to soulcare@emmanuelbaptist.com or post them on social media using #EBCDiscipleship
