Small group discussion notes - 15-21 May 2022

If you weren't at the live service this past Sunday you can listen to the sermon here.

Welcome (Community)

What are your thoughts on celebrating Halloween?

Accountability

Did you manage to pray for someone for healing and how did it go?

Worship

Play this victory song.

Scripture reading: Ephesians 6:1-18

Word (Discipleship):

1. Someone once said Christianity is like being enlisted on a Battle Ship (warfare) rather than sailing on a Cruise Liner (comfort). Is this true, why or why not? How does this realisation impact our Christian walk?

2. Looking at your life now, can you recognise any spiritual attack? (Make sure you pray together about this at the end).

3. We spend a lot of money and effort to keep our homes safe from burglary, what can we do to keep our homes and families safe from Spiritual attack?

4. Spend some time going through the armour of God, and discuss what it looks like to put on this armour daily?

Works (Mission)

Paul asked for prayer for him and his ministry, commit to praying for your leaders at PVC this week.

Small group discussion notes - 8-14 May 2022

If you weren't at the live service this past Sunday you can listen to the sermon here.

Welcome (Community)

What is the sickest you have ever been?

Accountability

How did your household conversation go about sinful patterns?

Worship

Use this pray-as-you-go website to play the prayer devotional for the day your group is held on.

Scripture reading: Acts 3:1-7 & 4:1-14

Word (Discipleship):

1. Are you someone who prays easily for healing for someone (let’s start with your own family) or not? And if not, why not?

2. What gets your attention from the Acts 3 passage?

3. Explore the meaning of the word salvation found in Ch 4:12 (a few websites show the Greek words and meanings, for eg. https://www.preceptaustin.org/acts-4-commentary). How does this shape how we understand salvation, particularly in reference to healing?

4. Read these few verses together and discuss how they shape your understanding of healing: • Matthew 8: 17 • Isaiah 53: 4-5 • 1 Peter 2: 24 • John 14: 27 • Matthew 9: 35

5. What have you learned from Sunday and today that will inform your faith and your actions?

Works (Mission)

Look out for an opportunity to pray for someone this week for healing.
