Saucon Community Church - The Essentials

1. Sin is confessed in mutual accountability

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed." --James 5:16
Ask each other Character Conversation Questions:

Have you been a testimony this week to the greatness of Jesus Christ with both your words and actions?
Have you been exposed to sexually alluring material or allowed your mind to entertain inappropriate sexual thoughts about another this week?
Have you lacked integrity in your financial dealings or coveted something that does not belong to you?
Have you been honoring, understanding, and generous in your important relationships this week?
Have you damaged another person by your words, either behind their back or face to face?
Have you given in to an addictive bahavior this past week? Explain.
Have you continued to remain angry toward another?
Have you secretly wished for another's misfortune?
Did you finish the reading and hear from God? What are you going to do about it?
Have you been completely honest with me?

2. Scripture is read repetitively - in context and in community

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." --2 Timothy 3:16-17
Decide on a book of the Bible to read that week.

The goal is to create an internal appetite for the rich word of God, so a larger volume of scripture is desired.
Strive to have 25-30 chapters of reading each week.

3. Souls are prayed for specifically and regularly

"Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer for them is for their salvation." --Romans 10:1
Each member identifies two or three people that need Jesus

Lord, I pray that you draw _____ to yourself (John 6:44).
I ask that you will send someone who will share the gospel with _____ (Matt. 9:37-38).
I also ask that You give me or _____ the opportunity, the courage, and the right words to share with _____ (Col. 4:3-6)
