Opening Your Circle
- When was the last time I took a look at the way I’ve chosen to relate to others in my group of friends?
- How well does my group mesh with the rest of the church?
- What holds us together as a group of friends – our lifestyle similarities, such as all being parents of young children, or something more?
- When church services end, do we always migrate into conversation with one another, or are we intentional about talking to others?
- If something controversial or challenging happens in the life of my church, with whom do I process or pray about it?
- Are sinful ways of relating to others, such as jealousy or fear, driving any part of my group’s dynamics?
- When was the last time I included someone new when my group was just hanging out together?
- When was the last time I invited that person back a second time?
