Matthew 3:1-12

Discipleship Habit 05 Accountability
Discipleship Reflection Question: Do you meet with others for mutual accountability where there is confession of sin on a regular basis?
Matthew 3:1-12
• Repentance means to have a change in mind and to go in the opposite direction. We repent when we acknowledge that our life, or a particular part of our life, is not in the direction God wants it to go and we chose to change our mind about that direction and act in accordance with a new direction.
• Spend some time asking God to reveal areas of your life that you need to repent in.
• Consider which is the highest priority area and spend some time talking with God and asking for his insight about what you need to do to change the direction of your life in that specific area.
• Meditate on Matthew 3:8 and consider how this impacts your decision above.
• Who could you share this decision with for support and help to make the changes you need to make?
• Realise that change can be difficult, moving away from habits of sin are particularly hard, so you should expect it to be difficult and you will need help and encouragement to make this change last.
• If the area is in the area of sexual sin, alcohol, or overeating you might like to check out courses at http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/
