Feeding God’s Sheep

Romans 1:8-15

In our final Small Church gathering before summer, we are taking some time to reflect on our journey together. We are going back into the book of Romans to the same text we used for the first Small Church gathering in September. Together we will reflect on the call to “be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith” (Romans 1:12)

Becoming Present to God

Light a candle, take some deep breaths, or sing a song, to draw your attention to God’s presence. Say this prayer together or read it to yourself.

Becoming Present to One Another

Share with one another:

What have you gained?
What have you lost?
What has stayed the same?

Dwelling in the Word

As a group, read Romans 1: 8-15 together.

Discussion

As a group, revisit the discussion questions we used with this text in September. 
(It’s okay if you weren’t at the September gathering, or if you don’t remember!)

This discussion does not have to be about your experience in Small Church, but feel free to weave in stories from the last year, as appropriate.

  • Share a story about a time when you were mutually encouraged in your faith.
  • How does it feel to be encouraged by others in spiritual growth?
  • How do you best encourage others in their spiritual growth?

Closing Blessing

You are invited to share this prayer together as a blessing for your Small Church as we take a break from our regular content over the summer.
