1. Worship through Gathering:
The sermon highlights that gathering on Sundays is a "down payment" of the future great gathering of God's people (Isaiah 56:6–8). How does coming together as a church community strengthen your trust and loyalty to God, and what does it reveal about the future hope we have in Christ?
2. Discipleship and Gathering:
According to Hebrews 10:23–30, gathering with other believers is essential for staying on the narrow path of discipleship. Why do you think regular gathering is described as a "life and death" matter for maintaining faith? How have you experienced encouragement from others in your faith journey?
3. Evangelism through Gathering:
The sermon emphasizes that Sunday gatherings are evangelistic by their nature, through invitation and welcoming others. How can you personally contribute to making the church a welcoming environment for newcomers, and what role does inviting others play in sharing the gospel?
4. Scripture’s Role in Mission:
The sermon underscores that scripture is central to worship, discipleship, and evangelism (Romans 1:1–4, 2 Timothy 3:10–17). How has engaging with scripture during Sunday services impacted your understanding of the gospel or shaped your walk with Christ?
5. Singing and Ordinances in Mission:
The sermon connects singing and the ordinances (baptism and the Lord’s Supper) to fueling worship, discipleship, and evangelism. How do these practices (singing, baptism, or communion) deepen your faith and inspire you to share the gospel with others?
