Campus Christian Fellowship

The final two questions:

4 – What overall has God taught you this week?

In the course of our weeks it is SO easy to let important things pass right by us. Have you noticed over the past week that you seem be hearing different people say the same thing, or during your time reading the Bible a constant theme emerge? These are some of the ways we can understand that God is trying to tell us something. Pay attention!

5 – How have you made Him famous this week?

This question is most times the toughest one to answer. It puts us in the driver’s seat, require that we take action to make Jesus famous to those around us. Every week. Whether you are preaching outdoors on campus, or sharing Scripture with your roommate, or finding a way to serve your fellow classmates, we are called to tell others about Jesus. I think this is a great question for students and ministers alike.

So there you have it. The 5 questions for accountability that we use during our one-to-one meetings with students. I hope you will challenge others with these questions, as they often lead to sharing exciting stories about how God is moving all around us. Most of all, I hope you will find someone to challenge YOU with these questions!

Here at CCF we place a major emphasis on weekly one-to-one meetings. Everything we do outside of one-to-one’s is setup to led people into a one-to-one. More than any other form of ministry it’s where we see real life change happen, over and over again. There’s something special about having someone take the time to sit down ‘eyeball-to-eyeball’ and study the Scriptures, ask me tough questions, and hold me accountable to my answers. I’ll save an in depth look into our one-to-one process some other time, so let me get to the point.

In this blog series I’d like to walk you through the questions that we try to incorporate into every one-to-one meeting. As best I can tell, the credit goes to Glen Titus for coming up with them, but he may tell you different.

Question 1 –  What have you learned in God’s Word this week?

This question assumes the obvious, that you have indeed been reading God’s Word. Spending time in the Bible is hand’s down the easiest way to learn more about who God is and how He intends for us, his disciples, to live our day-to-day lives. I think we can all agree on this one.

Question 2 – How have you seen Him answer prayer?

Again the obvious is implied. That you have been praying. James 5:13-18 lays out a strong case that we should be praying all the time and that our prayers can be  powerful and effective! Another key point here is that we are lifting up prayers that give God room to answer. I know I can be guilty of complaining and whining a lot when I pray to God. Are you praying specific, ‘God-sized’ prayers?

Question 3 – What have you seen in spiritual warfare?

1 Peter 5: 6-9 tells us that our enemy, Satan, is always looking for ways to distract us with his agenda, rather that what God would have us doing. Satan can tweak the simplest things to distract us and get us off track. Spending a few minutes to talk about new temptations, frustrations, and attitudes is a great way to stay ahead of Satan’s games.

I hope these will be of great benefit to you!, stay tuned for the conclusion!

College students listen close… You are so much more valuable to a church than babysitting!!

You are intelligent, motivated, passionate, friendly and absolutely needed in the Kingdom of God during your college years. Nobody else, and during no other time in your life will you have the freedom of time like to do now. Use it wisely!

One of my pet peeves is churches who only see college students as babysitters for their small groups. Wake up churches! Recognize the raw talent and young leaders you have all around you. Embrace them, equip them, buy them lunch and tell them to dream big. Give them opportunities to lead and be there to celebrate their success and help them up after they fall.

I’m just sayin’…
