Sunday Discussion
This is designed to be an extension of our Sunday worship service. Take a few minutes to have this conversation with those who watched the worship service with you. If you watched alone, give another friend who watched alone a call and have the conversation over the phone.
Share something that was said or sung that really resonated with you this morning.
Take a moment to pray with and for the person with whom you just shared.
Daily Discussion
These are intended for conversation around the dinner table, in the car, or before bed at night (ideal for ages 7 and up). Start each conversation by reading the passage listed.
Monday: Matthew 6:11. To what does “daily bread” refer? How are you experiencing the answer to this prayer?
Tuesday: John 6:35. What does Jesus mean by saying that he is the “bread of life”? How are you experiencing Him as this?
Wednesday: John 6:51. How does one eat the bread of which Jesus is speaking?
Thursday: Acts 2:42. In what ways are you or are you not devoting yourself to the things mentioned in this passage?
Friday: Acts 2:46-47. How have you enjoyed and been encouraged by the fellowship of brothers and sisters in Christ recently?
Saturday: Hebrews 13:2. Share an experience about an effort to show hospitality to strangers. How do you think God might be calling you to live this out even more in the coming weeks?
You can also use the above readings and questions as a personal, daily devotion and journaling prompt.
Weekly Discussion
Use these questions in discussion with spiritual friends. Spiritual friends are those who intentionally move into one another’s life to spur one another on in spiritual growth for the Glory of God.
1. How have you been feasting on the bread of life recently?
2. What has been your experience recently of deep community with brothers and sisters in Christ recently?
3. How has God used you to display his love with your neighbors or coworkers recently?
4. How have you been encouraged or challenged by the Lord recently?
