Connect Group Questions for Further Study
Getting to Know YOU
1. How is the “Jesus Idea” of doing church different from that of the 21st Century church in the American experience?
2. When you survey the accumulative experience of your life, how does the word “anoint” play out? In other words what might one say you have been anointed to do?
3. What is your past experience with racial tensions? How did it make you feel?
Passages to Ponder
1. Read Matthew 16:18-19, and discuss the picture of a victorious church as is in the mind of Jesus.
2. Read Revelation 19:1-9. How is the Return of the King for His church more glorious than perhaps we sometimes imagine when we envision the End TImes?
Show Me the Way
1. What are some tangible ways YOU can invest yourself in the next generation? Why is this important?
2. The “Jesus Vision” of Church Life is in reality the King’s embrace of hurting humanity? How do we better live out His H.U.G. in our church experience?
3. What was the one big takeaway you got from this message?
