Discussion Questions: 

1. Read Hebrews 10:24 together. What does it practically look like to “stir up one another to love and good works” in a group like this? Where have you seen this happen here, or what would you love to see more of?

2. Read Hebrews 10:25. The verse says, the opposite of stirring one another up happens when we neglect meeting together. Why do you think people today (including us) struggle to prioritize gathering with Christian community? What things in your life tend to pull you away? What helps you stay consistent in meeting with other believers?

3. Prioritizing community is a choice. When in your life have you had to choose biblical community even when it wasn’t convenient? How did that choice impact your faith?

4. Read Ephesians 4:25. What stands out about Paul’s statement in this verse? What makes honesty and vulnerability difficult in Christian community? What are the small steps of honesty that you could begin taking that would help you grow or help someone else grow?

5. An authentic community is unselfish. If everyone brings something unique to the group, what do you think that you bring that helps build this community? What do you think is most needed to continue to deepen the community here?

6. Encouragement shapes the whole culture of a group. Imagine a Life Group where people feel safe being honest, genuinely accepted, and deeply encouraged. Discuss what behaviors or habits make that kind of community possible. Which do we have and which do we need to grow in?

7. Hebrews 10:24–25 gives three clear actions: stir up one another to good works, meet together, encourage one another. If you had to choose one of these to focus on this week personally, which one would make the biggest difference in your walk with Jesus and why? 

End your time by praying together.
