At Our Core - "Me + 3" Multiply Exponentially

Icebreaker

Share a time when someone introduced you to something that changed your life (could be a hobby, a restaurant, a book, or even Jesus). What made that introduction stick with you?

Discussion

1. Seeing People the Way Jesus Does

Scripture: John 4:4-10

Jesus crossed every cultural boundary to have a conversation with the Samaritan woman—someone society had written off. He saw her not as a project or a problem, but as someone God already loved.

Who in your life might God be asking you to see differently? What boundaries (fear, judgment, assumptions) might you need to cross?

2. Pointing, Not Pressuring

Scripture: John 4:28-29, Romans 10:14-15

The woman didn't have all the answers or perfect theology. She simply said, "Come and see." That's it. Introducing people to Jesus isn't about having a perfect presentation—it's about sharing what Jesus has done in your life.

What's one simple way you could "point" someone toward Jesus this week without feeling like you have to have all the answers?

3. Trusting God with the Growth

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, John 4:39-42

We plant and invite, but God brings the growth. The Samaritan woman introduced her town to Jesus, and He did the rest. We're responsible for obedience, not outcomes.

How does knowing God handles the growth take pressure off you when it comes to your "3"?

Prayer Time

• What are you celebrating this week?

• What are you praying about this week?

• Pray for your "3": Ask God to give you courage, open doors for conversations, and soften hearts. Pray for unity in our church as we all commit to this vision together. Pray for those who don't yet know Jesus.

Closing Reflection

You don't need permission, a title, or perfect words. You just need to be willing to say, "God, use me." Your three are waiting.
