LESSON 44: PERSUASIVENESS
A. Definition of persuasive:
B. An example from my everyday life:
C. A positive example from the Bible: 1 Kings 22:21, 22; Matt. 28:14; 2 Cor. 5:11.
D. A negative example from the Bible: Lev. 26:25; 2 Kings 5:7; Mark 6:19; Col. 3:13; Gal. 1:10 .
E. Thinking about being persuasive in my own life:
1. When have I shown faith?
2. In what situation did I fail to show persuasiveness?
3. What problem in my life could God use to build persuasiveness?
4. Who can be a Christian model for me of persuasiveness?
5. How can I develop this quality in my life?
F. A scripture verse I will memorize to help build persuasiveness into my life: 2 Tim. 2:24.
G. Self-evaluation:
1. Is it difficult for me to forgive someone who has wronged me a little when God has forgiven me so much?
2. Do I teach God's truth in kindness and gentleness, patiently and courteously explaining the truth?
3. Do I quarrel or argue over unimportant details?
4. Do I quarrel or have foolish discussions with other believers?
5. Have I realized that arguments are confusing, useless, and even harmful?
6. Have I caused strife and divisions by my meaningless quibbling over unimportant details?
7. Do I study what the Word of God says so I can understand what it means or do I depend on what someone else tells me about God's Word?
8. Is my life a living testimony of God's refining fire?
9. Am I depending on the Holy Spirit as my teacher as I study the Bible, trusting him to plant truth in my mind, convince me of God's will, and remind me when I stray from it?
