State of the Church

This week Pastor Jake gave a State of the Church update. It was a time of reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the things that God is bringing for GCK in 2020. Bible Reading questions/discussion prompts: 1. Have a member of the group summarize one key story from the reading until you have covered them all for the week: who are the main characters, where does the story take place, what are they doing, and why. 2. What does this week’s reading teach you about God? 3. What does it teach you about mankind? 4. How does this reading point to Jesus or our need for Him? 5. What did you learn this week about God or about the Bible that you didn’t know before? 6. What did you learn from the sermon that you maybe missed or didn’t know from the reading? 7. What lessons can you take from this reading and apply to your own life today? 8. What remaining questions do you have about this passage? Sermon Questions: For group discussion, consider these questions in 3 contexts: Your personal life, this life group, and our church as a whole. 1. Thinking back over 2019, what are some high points of your year? What are some of the biggest challenges faced? 2. What goals do you have for this New Year? What would you like to see change this year – things you would add, remove, or adjust? What part do you play in accomplishing those goals? 3. Where there details from Sunday’s message that you have questions about?  4. What are you specifically praying for this year?
