SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS

WARM UP: Share something important you learned growing up that is still foundational for your life. [Colossians 1:1-8 recognizes the need for us to be rooted in the foundational truth of Gospel Hope.]

HEAD: These questions help us examine the Word.
1. Read Colossians 1:1-8. How does Paul describe the hope of the Gospel?
2. How would you define the Gospel?
3. Why does Gospel Hope produce faith, love and fruitfulness in the life of a believer?
4. Any other observations or questions?

HEART: These questions help us wrestle with what we believe.
5. What is a “false hope” that you have had, and how does that compare to “Gospel Hope”?
6. If someone were to write a report about your life (like Paul did of the Colossians), what would they say about you?
7. How have you seen Gospel Hope produce faith, love, or fruitfulness in your life?

HAND: These questions help us bring truth and beliefs into our everyday life.
8. If you recognize a lack of love or fruitfulness in your life, what do you need to do?
