Community Group Study Notes
-
Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture passages and purpose of our relationships with brothers and sisters in Christ.
-
What was one thing that God was showing you through the sermon? How did this message change your perspective on your relationship with other believers?
-
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 and interact with this statement: “Our relationships within the family and outside the family are all in service to God’s mission.” How is this statement supported by Scripture? What does a watching world learn about Jesus when they observe the way we treat one another? Why does this matter?
-
How can we, as brothers and sisters, encourage each other and hold each other accountable to viewing our work as a witness?
-
What is one action step you can take in light of Sunday’s teaching?
Action Steps
-
Dedicate 15 minutes to praying for your spiritual brothers and sisters. Pray for the “family members” in your community group to live faithfully to serve God’s mission.
-
Spend time in reflection on the state of your relationships. Consider: Are there any fractured relationships that need to be restored? 1 Corinthians 13:1-13Are there any changes you need to make in how you’re using social media or how you handle disagreements?
