Small group discussion notes - 23-29 January 2022

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

Welcome (Community)

Catch up after the long break.

Worship

Play this video and pray.

Word (Discipleship):

Scripture reading: Nehemiah 8:1-10

1. As you read the text together, what gets your attention/stands out for you?

2. On a scale of 1 (terrible) to 10 (daily) how is your personal reading of Scripture?

3. How do you approach Bible reading, or put differently, what do you do? Read and move on? Read and reflect? Read and journal? Read and re-read and make it your own for the day? Etc.

4. Share with the group any helpful tools/websites/apps you use for Scripture reading.

5. SUPER IMPORTANT! - What can the group do to help you be more disciplined in your Scripture reading? and even more important, assist you to read the Bible in a way that feeds you (not fast food☺)?

Works (Mission)

Once this week, share with someone a passage of scripture, or something you found helpful in Scripture.

Small group discussion notes - 24-30 October 2021

If you haven't seen last Sunday's sermon you can watch it here.

Welcome (Community)

What is the wisest saying you have ever heard?

Worship

Play a worship song that you feel is relevant to where your group is at the moment. Open in prayer.

Word (Discipleship):

Scripture reading: Ephesians 1: 15-23

1. Paul gives thanks for the believers at Ephesus. Spend time sharing your gratitude for the group you are in.

2. Why do you think the very first thing listed in Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians (he says “I KEEP asking”) is the spirit of wisdom and revelation to know Jesus better? (v. 17)

3. What does it mean for Jesus to fill everything in every way? (v.23)

4. Paul prayed for his fellow believers to know more of God and the hope we have in Christ. End your time praying for each other.

Works (Mission)

Think of a space in your world that could do with more of Jesus (street, school, work etc.)

Go on a short prayer walk this week, simply praying for Jesus to fill this space.

(You could play the song “I speak Jesus” as you go 😊)
