Community Group Study Notes
- As appropriate, take some time in your group to open up to one another. Express your burdens, hardships, struggles, and prayer requests. Express your joys from the week, how you have seen God work in your life or the lives of others, or something you are grateful for.
- Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture points and the main idea of the message.
- How did this message strengthen and/or correct your previous ideas about who Jesus is? 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?
- Read Colossians 1:9-23 as a group. What words, phrases, or verses stand out to you? Share your observations with the group.
- How does seeing Jesus in the ways described here affect you? How does it lift your focus on Him and bring joy and peace to your soul?
- Jesus is supreme over all the universe. What areas of your life need to submit to Jesus’ supremacy?
- In Christ, we are holy, blameless, and without accusation before God. How does this change the way we see ourselves and our standing with God?
- What action step do you need to take in response to this week’s message? How can your group hold you accountable to this step?
Action Step:
Take some inventory of your life to consider these questions. As you do, consider journaling answers to these questions:
- How can I use the gifts and abilities God has given me to advance the gospel?
- How does my financial giving support the advancement of the gospel? Do I need to make adjustments here?
- How can I use my time better to invest into others for the spread of the gospel?
