Community Meditation Questions

  • We discussed in the sermon why “list of names” in the Bible are important.  Recount this together? 
  • If you were making a list of your  closest and most faithful peeps, who makes the list?  Why?
  • How can we become more of a gospel centered community on mission?  Which is strong for us: 1) Knowing and Experiencing the Gospel? 2) Living a new sort of life together? 3) Faithfully living out Jesus’ Mission?  Where can we grow?
  • How is prayer described in Colossians 4:2? Paul connects prayer to gospel proclamation and mission? Why is this so important?
  • Discuss the two ways mentioned that we can “obscure” the gospel and not make it clear. Which do you struggle with the most?
  • Think about answering this question for our Body Life Sunday on April 17. How have you observed God using the teaching of Colossians in your life?
