Sunday Night

We have a lot of things happening on Sunday nights at Willoughby Hills Friends Church. There is ongoing outreach through the Well ministry each week. Our Neighborhood Networks are in full swing with small groups meeting geographically with the purpose of loving people unconditionally through service oriented projects. There are youth activities and study times and an interactive Bible study that convenes in the Meetinghouse (in room 227) from 6-7:15 PM.

This Sunday evening we will continue with a look at Pentecost. This week's topic is "The Pentecostal Call to Action” and our key text is Isaiah 6. The following is a guide we will use in this week's study time. Please read the key text and fill in the main points for discussion starters.

Introduction:
The message of Pentecost is a great study. It is one of promise and hope. It celebrates God’s redemptive presences and work in the world and through His missional people. In celebrating Pentecost we realign with who we are and what we are commissioned to do. As missional people we lead an interesting life. We are citizens of the kingdom of God with the mission of God to redeem all of creation. Thus, everything we do, we employ for the glory of God. As we celebrate Pentecost we offer ourselves anew to the cleansing and provision of God’s Spirit to empower us to be the Church. It’s a call to action. The “Pentecostal process” is portrayed in the calling of Isaiah found in chapter 6. Through this study we will note various aspects of "The Pentecostal Call to Action.”

First Aspect: Isaiah’s Introduction
> Who is he?
> What did he do?
> What was the setting?

Second Aspect: Isaiah’s Preparation
> What was the prophet's condition?
> How did God supply his need?

Third Aspect: Isaiah’s Assignment/Task
> What did God call Isaiah to do?
> Is God still using Isaiah today?

Fourth Aspect: What Implications Does The Call of Pentecost from Isaiah 6 have for Christians/Us Today?

Thanks for stopping by!
