Community Group Study Notes

Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture passages and main idea of the message.

How did this message strengthen and/or correct your previous ideas about community? 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?
-
How have you been blessed by a community group or a gospel-centered community in the past? In what ways has your community helped you grow in Christ-likeness?

How has the Church been like a family to you? If it hasn’t, spend time discussing why this might be the case.

Read Colossians 3:12-17. How are we called to live? How can our community help us to live this way?
