Formative: Discussion Questions from Sunday

1. If the book of Revelation were removed from our Bible, what difference would it make? How would it affect the Bible's message? How would it affect your life?

2. In the first chapter of Revelation, what indications do you find that this is a book about future events including the end times?

3. Read Revelation 1:7. Why do you think "all the peoples of the earth will mourn" when they see Jesus' second coming?

5. Read Revelation 1:18-21. What impresses you most about John's description of Jesus? What do you think you will feel when you see Him this way?

10 Summer Activities To Keep Your Small Group Connected

I just sent an email to all our small group leaders (I do this 3-4 times each month). This week's focus was STAYING CONNECTED THROUGH THE SUMMER. Below is a list of 10 summer activities a small group can use to stay connected. These are specifically created for groups at The Gathering, but you can pretty easily modify the list to fit your church or your community. Go to a Dragon's Game together.

20 Questions to Build Group Connections

Here is a great exercise for a new group. The instructions are pretty simple. Go around the group giving each person the opportunity to choose one question and answer it honestly. Anyone can follow-up with an opinion or clarifying question (no critiquing each other's answers, though). Once a question has been answered, no one else may answer that question. If your group is larger, you may want to alter the rule and allow each question to be answered 2 or 3 times. Ideally, each person should end up answering 3-5 questions. As the leader, pay attention to the conversation. Let the discussion run its course as this is how people in the group build their relationships with one another. You can use these questions, modify them or create your own.
