growgroup discussion questions
The one thing
Get ahead with. At the back of the pack.
Scripture
Mark 9:30-50
Know
- Have you ever been overheard having an argument with someone? Or have you ever overheard someone else having an argument? What happened? (Keep details vague if needed!)
Grow
- Have you experienced divisiveness / suspicion between different churches in a town, or churchd denominations? How did this impact you?
- What is more important as Christians / Churches? Standing up for truth or standing up for unity?
- Are there any issues that you believe we shouldn’t budge on as Christians, even if it creates rifts between us and others?
- Which lie do you struggle more with:
- I’m all that
- God needs me
- I don’t need you. (We don’t need each other).
- Compare Jesus’ words in Mark 9:40 (whoever is not against us is for us) with Matthew 12:30 (who is not with me is against me). Is this a contradiction? Explain your thoughts.
- Have you ever met a Christian from another country / culture? What was that experience like for you? How did this experience enrich you?
- In what ways can pride prevent Jesus from using us?
- Why are Priscilla and Aquila (Acts 18) such a powerful example for us today on how God loves to use imperfect people, such as Apollos?
- Say, and ask your growgroup to repeat after you:
- Jesus is all that matters
- God does not need me; He can use anyone
- I need you and you need me.
- Ask around the circle: Do you believe these truths?
