What do they look like?

Life and faith, together

Our small groups range from 5–15 people meeting together in homes to fellowship, study, pray, and serve one another and our neighbors. As we practice life together centered on the gospel, we are also empowered to extend hospitality to our neighbors and friends.

To open

A Review:

We’re working through members covenant.

1. Devote ourselves to Jesus daily.
2. Gather with the church—to treasure the gospel by: being present, welcoming others, showing hospitality, praying together, singing, reading Scripture, confessing sin, giving offerings, and receiving baptism and the Lord’s Supper because we cannot faithfully follow Jesus alone.(Acts 2:42–47; Rom 15:7; 1 Cor 12:12–27; 2 Cor 8:1–5, 9; Heb 10:24–25; 2 Tim 4:1–2)

Read together

Hebrews 10:19-25

Discuss

The passage begins with a reference to the veil which hung in the temple and its connection to Jesus. What is the significance of that connection? And how does that image of Jesus’s torn body as a doorway impact you?
Do you feel “confidence to enter”? How have you moved from seasons of doubt into seasons of confidence?
We have an “evil conscience” that can only be cleaned by Jesus (see 9:9, 9:14, 10:2). Pete asked “Is your conscience bothering you?” How has this question appeared in your life? How have you addressed it—successfully and unsuccessfully?
Side quest: Do you think this question (Is your conscience bothering you?) is a good question to ask in evangelism? How might that conversation go?Workshop this together.
There are three “let us” invitations in the passage—let us draw near, let us hold fast our confession, let us consider how to stir up one another. What is the importance of gathering for each of these? Why can’t I do these on my own or just my own home?
How can we better stir each other up?
What are the good deeds that you see needed that you want to “provoke” in others or have “provoked” in you

Pray

As you pray for greater depth for our gathering, also pray for Parker and Riley (they spoke in church a few weeks back). They have been provoked by God and their Christian community to go to Central Asia to share the gospel. They will be using cross fit as a way to work in the country and build relationships.
