February 2, 2020 - GUEST Josh (Seunghoon) Song

FEBRUARY 2, 2020 The smaller groups in our church community are inside our homes where we go deeper, build friendships, and walk out the Christian life with each other. HOME CHURCH GUIDE + “Breaking the Ice” question (group facilitator) + CHECK-INS: Introduce, check-in + CARE: Needs in the group + COMPASSION: What is the group planning? Are you inviting your neighbours to join in? + GROUP ANNOUNCEMENTS Church-wide, group-only + DIG IN: Discuss questions as a group + END AND HOMEWORK: Final questions, prayer huddles for personal requests. Consider breaking into small groups (huddles) of 2-4, by gender, if large enough. General DISCUSSION questions: 1. As you reflect on Sunday’s message, what principle or insight stands out as being particularly helpful, insightful, or difficult to grasp? 2. If the message had to be re-delivered, what two points or ideas would you encourage the speaker to include no matter what? 3. What’s one thing from this message that you hope we talk about as a group? 4. Was there one thing that you most agreed or disagreed with from this message? What was it and why? 5. Read 2 Samuel 24:20-24 + Reflecting on these verses, what strikes you most? Why? + What is most challenging in these verses? Encouraging? New? + If these verses were applied to our culture today, how would it change? 6. When and where do you struggle the most with [whatever issue(s) this message raised]? 7. If you were to incorporate this truth into your own life, how would the next week be different? 8. Describe your life one year from now if you consistently applied this truth.
