Journey 101: Knowing God Leader Guide. Carol Cartmill
as a means of surrendering to Jesus and opening their life to the Holy Spirit’s transforming activity.
Fruit of the Spirit—Deeply committed Christians are continually growing in the inner qualities and outward actions identified as “the fruit of the Spirit” in Galatians 5:22-23: “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (NRSV).
Authentic Community—Deeply committed Christians share their faith journeys with groups of Christian friends in mutual encouragement and accountability, developing spiritual honesty and trust through sharing and support.
SERVING GOD
Service to Others—Deeply committed Christians are instruments of God’s love in a broken, hurting world, living lives of service to others with a strong (though not exclusive) focus on the Bible’s concern for the poor and for justice.
Sharing Christ—Deeply committed Christians are eager to share the good news of Jesus in loving, winsome, and non-judgmental ways, and are ready to “give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15).
Spiritual Gifts/Talents—Deeply committed Christians understand clearly with “sober judgment” (Romans 12:3) which spiritual gifts and talents they have, and use those gifts to bless others and build up the body of Christ.
Financial Gifts—Deeply committed Christians view money and material possessions not as a measure of success or as a means of self-gratification, but as a resource for whose use they are responsible to God, and they submit their financial lives to God’s guiding and control.
Time—Deeply committed Christians see time as a gift from God to be used in keeping with God’s purposes, avoid compulsive busyness, and submit their calendars to God’s guiding and control.
