Poured Out Campaign for October 2019
During the month of October, HRC continues its study of the Gospel of John, moving into chapters 12 and 13. Throughout these chapters, the Holy Spirit will repeatedly challenge us to empty ourselves so that we can fill something greater. Grab a partner; plan your month with your small group; strive to live out the weekly Biblical charge every day; and tackle as many personal devotionals (see list below) for spiritual development.
Small Group Bible Talks and Household Devotional Lessons are available below.
Weekly Biblical Charge
Week One: John 12:1-11. Empty your calendar of personal pursuits (that you value) in order to fill October with activities that honor Christ.
Week Two: John 12:12-19. Get rid of your inhibitions to make Jesus known everywhere. Invite more people than ever before to the Sunday service on Oct 13 to exalt Jesus.
Week Three: John 12:20-36. Don’t be a single seed. Don’t make this week about you, rather make it about producing many seeds. Intentionally schedule appointments with new friends to inspire them to know Jesus.
Week Four: John 12:36-50. When you feel the temptation to hide your faith because of fear of people, decide instead to reveal your faith because of the love of God.
Week Five: John 13:1-17. Remember who you are and where you are going in Christ so that you can humble yourself and love others without limits.
