House Church Resources

Through the Church

10/7/2022

 
Picture

​Sentence:

​…through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. Ephesians 3:10

Collect:

God our most Holy Friend, through your Son Jesus, you call us together and send us out as a new family, formed around you. Give us revelation and courage to live out the mystery of our faith and so make known the wisdom of God in the heavenly places, In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Readings:

Ephesians 3:5-13 & Matthew 2:1-12

Questions:

1. What exactly was the mystery Paul is talking about?
2. How would you compare Paul’s passion to share this mystery to your own passion?
3. Where does the unifying Gospel challenge you?  E.g. Issues of racism, sexism, missions, concern for the poor and elderly.
4. Where is God calling you to be an ambassador for him?

    We have a variety of tools that we are working on to help small groups 'connect'. These include activities that you can choose to do together as a small group worship service.
    Remember that these are simply a starting point for your small group - you may discover other tools or activities that suit you better. If you do discover something fabulous, please share it so others may also be encouraged.

    We thank the Diocese of Wellington for their work in forming the framework for the house church liturgy.
