Read Chapter 2 of "Why Small Groups" for discussion.
HG - Here are the questions I'd like us to discuss on Wednesday:
1. What is your definition of biblical fellowship?
2. Reasons given in the book for not participating in fellowship = self-
sufficiency, formality, bitterness, elitism. Which ones of these do
you struggle with and are there any others that you'd add to this list?
3. How can we individually and as a group increase our experience of biblical
fellowship? Where do you need to change for this to happen?
4. The author states on pg 23 "fellowship with others begins with an honest,
open, obedient relationship with God rooted in the truth of his Word. How
we wrestle with understanding truth and struggle to apply it to our lives
- is the essence of fellowship."
How are you doing with: 1)your relationship with God (would you describe
it as "honest, open, obedient"? 2)Sharing with others about your relation- ship with God?
5. The author states "Fellowship flows when we volunteer information about
our internal state to others not simply to relieve the problem of
loneliness, but to gain their honest evaluation of how we are dealing
with the issue and how we can change." How are you doing at that type
of "fellowship"? Is that your motivation for sharing things?
6. Come ready to share: 1) something funny about your childhood 2)A
spiritual experience that has had a significant impact on your life.
