- If you were making a list of your closest and most faithful peeps, who makes the list? Why?
- How can we become more of a gospel centered community on mission? Which is strong for us: 1) Knowing and Experiencing the Gospel? 2) Living a new sort of life together? 3) Faithfully living out Jesus’ Mission? Where can we grow?
- How is prayer described in Colossians 4:2? Paul connects prayer to gospel proclamation and mission? Why is this so important?
