I mentioned last week, a planned life group discussion on this topic. I thought it might be helpful to share the discussion outline/questions here. Feel free to make use of it in your own context. I’ve got a couple of articles planned that dig further into the topic.
Set up for the discussion
A slightly different life group -we are going to do some occasional topical studies thinking practically about how we care for one another in the life of the church.
- Q: What is a Gospel Culture?
- A: Where what we believe about grace is lived out among us
Together
Key text = Galatians 3:26-29. See also Genesis 1:26-28 & 1 Peter 3:7.
- Q1. How are men and women described?
- Q2. What are the implications of this?
In Smaller breakout groups
- What experiences do different people have about how they are treated/how others relate to them in the community/at work/etc
- What experiences do different people have about how they are treated/how others relate to them in the church?
- Similarities/differences better/worse?
- What are helpful/unhelpful behaviours from others as you seek to live a godly life as part of God’s family.
*The hope is that we hear from different people including married/single/with and without children
Summing up together
- Did anything surprise you?
- What is the main thing that you’ve learnt today?
- Is there anything you would do differently?
