Community Group Study Notes
- What’s been going well this week? What’s been hard? What’s God been teaching you?
- Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting points from the discussed Scripture passage and the main idea of the message.
- Was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged, or confused you? Did you learn anything new about God or yourself this week?
- Who first shared the gospel with you, or helped you understand it more clearly? What made their approach meaningful?
- Study the Passage:
- Read 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10. What do you notice about the way the Thessalonians received and responded to the gospel?
- In verses 6-8, how does their example of faith spread to others? What was “ordinary” about their witness?
- Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. Why might it matter that Paul didn’t rely on eloquence or human wisdom?
- Where are the everyday places God has already placed you to be a witness?
- What keeps you from sharing the gospel (in words or in actions)? What encourages you?
- What would it look like this week to take one simple step of “ordinary evangelism” - a conversation, an invitation, a kind act with intentionality, etc.?
Action Step
- Identify one person in your life (friend, neighbor, coworker, classmate) who doesn’t know Jesus. Commit to pray for them every day this week and look for a way to engage them in a spiritual conversation or act of love.
- As a group, watch and discuss Pastor Leroy’s video on Sharing the Gospel.
