Connect Group Discussion
Sacred Series Part 1 – August 2, 2026
Sacred Scripture: How We Handle the Holy Word
2 Timothy 3:10–17
Discussion Questions
- Paul reminds Timothy of the cost he paid to bring the Word (persecutions, endurance, rescue by the Lord). How does remembering the price paid for Scripture change the way you approach daily Bible reading? How does it move you from casual habit to genuine reverence?
- Pastor's message challenges us to let Scripture search us before we search it for answers or proof texts. Where have you recently felt the Word correcting, cutting, or counseling you? How did you respond? Did submission come naturally or was there resistance?
- Scripture is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness so that we may be complete and equipped. Which of these four areas is the Holy Spirit currently pressing in your life, and what would “quick obedience” look like this week so that sacred living begins to match the sacred Word?
Sacred Series Part 2 – August 9, 2026
Sacred Church: How We Behave as the Set-Apart People of God
Ephesians 1:15–23
Discussion Questions
- Pastor's message challenged us to stop consuming from the house and start contributing into the house by giving our time, talent, and treasure. In what specific ways have you been more of a consumer than a participant, and what practical step of partnership (serving, giving, or consistent presence) is the Lord asking of you right now?
- We are urged to treat one another as holy brothers and sisters. We are instructed to love genuinely, outdoing one another in honor, and celebrate cultural and generational diversity. Where has dishonor, comparison, or discomfort with difference crept into your relationships within the church family, and how can you actively reverse that this week?
- Galatians 5 warns that if we “bite and devour one another” we will be consumed by one another. How have offense, unforgiveness, or careless words threatened the unity of the Body in your experience? What guardrails will you put around your mouth and heart to protect the purity and peace of the church?
Sacred Series Part 3 – August 16, 2026
Sacred Community: How We Live Together in Biblical Community
Hebrews 10:22–25
Discussion Questions
- The early church met both in the temple and from house to house. Why is it still vital that we value meeting outside the four walls of the church building? How might joining or hosting a Connect Group help turn casual acquaintances into genuine family through the blood of Jesus?
- We are called to guard our Christian witness at al times. Not only when others are watching, but especially when they are not. In what everyday areas (speech, tipping, parenting, online presence, treating people who cannot advance us) is the Lord asking you to raise the standard so that both Christ and this local faith family are accurately represented?
- Acts 2 describes a people who “were together and had all things in common”—an organism, not merely an organization. What would it look like for you personally to move from being organized around church activities to becoming a living, interconnected part of the Ekklesia?
