- Not just hearing the Gospel, but experiencing it

TRUTH AND DAREThe real-life game Jesus taught us

TRUTH:In Mt 19 the rich young ruler asks what he must do to have eternal life. Jesus applies truth: you shall not murder, commit adultery, steal, etc. and love

your neighbor as yourself.

DARE:Young ruler says: I already do that. Now Jesus

applies dare: go, sell all your stuff and give it to the poor, and come follow me.

TRUTH:Read the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. What is Jesus saying to you through this story? Pray for an opportunity to put this lesson into practice.

DARE:Find someone in need that you would not choose as

a friend and be a true blessing to this person. Report back what happened and what you learned

from it.

Follow Jesus by playing missions
