  1. What does Fall mean to you?

  2. What are some valid and legitimate reasons that the church has a bad reputation in society? (List specific examples, not just hypocrisy.)

  3. What does Jesus think of the church? (Read Ephesians 5:25-30.)

  4. Read 1 Corinthians 12:26-27; Romans 12:4-5. How do these verses describe the nature of the church? How do they illustrate how the church should act and live?

  5. Read James 2:1-9. What is the point of James’ warning? Why does this happen? How can we avoid it?

  6. Read Ephesians 1:13-14. What two essentials did Pastor John speak about in his sermon? What are some examples of these two essentials being at work when GCC gathers together?

  7. What are the pros and cons of online worship services versus in-person worship gatherings? How do you apply the warnings of Hebrews 10:24-25?

Discipleship Challenge: Reach out to someone in the church you have not talk to in awhile. Ask them how they are doing and how you can pray for them.

Pray together as a group.
