• What is one of the best group experiences you’ve ever been a part of? What made it meaningful?

• When you think about church, do you naturally think of a place you go or a people you belong to? Why?

The first church was devoted to teaching, fellowship, meals, and prayer. They lived generously, met together consistently, and worshiped with joy. As a result, they gained favor with people and God added to their number daily.

Discussion Questions:

• What stands out to you most about the way the first church lived?
• The word “devoted” implies consistency and commitment. Where do you see that in this passage?
• Which part of their lifestyle challenges you the most?
• What do you think would happen if our church lived this out more fully?

1. GATHER.

• What is one thing that can keep you from consistently gathering with other believers?
• Read: Luke 5:31-32, Romans 15:7 & Hebrews 10:25.

2. GROW.

• Where in your life do you need to take a next step in your spiritual growth right now?
• Read: Hebrews 5:12-6:1 & 2 Peter 3:18.

3. GO.

• Who is one person in your life you can intentionally love, serve, or point to Jesus this week?
• Read: John 3:16-17 & Matthew 5:14-16.

If you truly lived this out this week—Gather, Grow, and Go—what would change in your life?
