Reflect on Paul’s journey so far and his engagement with Christian community. For each question, spend 1 – 2 minutes in silence before you begin to respond.
- Describe your experience with Christian community. What has been positive and negative?
- Consider the following aspects of Christian community – particularly within life groups. What role should you play? What role should others play?
- Providing safe space.
- Sharing deeply and knowing one another.
- Serving one another and using spiritual gifts. (1 Corinthians 12-14; Romans 12:1-8; Ephesians 4:1-16)
- Helping to run meetings.
- The New Testament believers functioned like extended families. What responsibilities do family members have for the way the family functions? How might this apply to your life group?
- How frequently do you need to connect with people in order to feel comfortable sharing transparently with them? How frequently do you think other people need to connect with you to feel comfortable sharing transparently with you? How might this apply to your life group attendance?
