Make It Personal:

- When it comes to choosing a community to be a part of, what are the qualifiers you look for? Are you intentional in choosing what communities you give your time, money, energy to?
- On Sunday, Pastor Jason made the point, “We are called into community, not just an individual experience.” What is the danger of making Church about “me,” and not about “we?”
- In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul listed several gifts the Holy Spirit gives believers to help one another. What gifts has the Holy Spirit given you to help other believers?
- Spiritual community (Church) does not happen by accident. We have to be intentional. On Sunday, we discovered three steps to develop intentionality in our spiritual relationships. Review those points. Which one is most impactful for you? Which one do you find the most difficult?
