4. K: Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing

Discussion Questions:

1. What stood out to you most from the sermon? Why?
2. We mentioned setting an alarm for 1:27 pm to pray for the church daily. How do you think consistent, unified prayer could impact our church and community?
3. How would you describe your current level of engagement in the church? Are you “owning your part”? If not, what’s holding you back?
4. The sermon emphasized conducting ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel. In what areas of your life do you find this challenging?
5. How can we as a church help each other keep the “main thing” (reaching people with the gospel) as our focus?
6. We shared the illustration of the life-saving station becoming a “comfortable club.” Have you seen or experienced this phenomenon in churches? How can we guard against it?

Practical Applications:

1. Set a daily alarm for 1:27 pm to pray for the church and its mission.
2. Identify one area where you can increase your engagement in the church (e.g., serving, giving, inviting others).
3. This week, be intentional about representing Jesus well in your workplace, school, or community.
4. Reflect on your habits and routines. Are there any that need to change to better align with living out the gospel?
5. As a Group, brainstorm ways you can collectively focus on reaching others with the gospel in your community.
6. Take communion together as a Group, reflecting on Christ’s sacrifice and our call to live for Him.
