Acts 4:22-26 addresses the church gathering in large and small groups. Romans 10 speaks to the importance of preaching and being sent. Questions: Why is sending and being sent so important in our spiritual formation? What does it mean to contextualize the Gospel? Where do you see this working well? With so many existing churches, why is church planting important? What’s the difference between the Gospel and Evangelism? Why is it important to clarify the purpose of spiritual disciplines? Have you ever experienced a gospel goodbye? What was that experience like? Why is it unhelpful to divide sacred and secular?
