Small group discussion notes - 21-27 November 2021

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

Welcome (Community)

What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?

Worship

Invite everyone to bring an object with them that reminds them of an aspect of God’s character.

Word (Discipleship):

Scripture reading: Ephesians 4:1-16

1. What does a worthy (vs.1) life look like? (answers can be found in vs. 2-6)

2. Vs. 3 Why do you think unity is so important to God, and how do we make sure we keep unity as members of PVC?

3. Under what circumstances would unity be wrong?

4. What does it mean to “speak the truth in love” (vs. 15) in the context of your group?

5. Vs. 16 refers to the Body (church) growing up as each part does its work. What ‘part’ or role do you sense God wants you to play at PVC?

Works (Mission)

Is there any fellow member of the PVC family you are not in unity with, not at peace with? Make an appointment with them this next week, be reconciled, sort it out, and pray together.

Children’s address:

Small group discussion notes - 14-20 November 2021

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

Welcome (Community)

The passage is all about love, what moment in your life have you felt the most loved?

Worship

Listen to a classic hymn jazzed up: “O Love that wilt not let me go”

Pray together.

Word (Discipleship):

Scripture reading: Ephesians 3:1-21

1. How is your personal prayer life going?

2. Who or what has been most influential in developing your personal prayer life?

3. List all the requests in verses 14-19. What repeated themes stand out in these requests?

4. Is it possible for the fullness of God’s love to fill us completely? Why or Why not?

5. Vs. 16. Where are you needing inner strength right now?

End off your session by taking time to prayerfully meditate on the vast love of Christ.

• Consider the breadth of God’s accepting love. How wide is it?

• Consider the length of God’s lasting love. How long does it last?

• Consider the height of God’s exalting love. How high does it reach?

• Consider the depth of God’s sacrificial love. How deep can it go?

Works (Mission)

Who in your circle of influence needs to know the love of God? Commit to pray for them every day this week.

Children’s address:

The video is cheesy, but you can watch it yourself and then repeat in your own creative way ☺ GOD'S LOVE Children's Object Lesson (Ephesians 3:18)
