Fellowship Rediscovered - Application Questions

1. Read the definition of fellowship you wrote in answer to Question 1 on page 17. Do you still think that's the best definition? Why or why not?
2. Can you name an activity you once believed to be fellowship, but which actually is not?
3. Which spiritual gifts do you think you may possess? (see Romans 12) How might these promote fellowship in your small group?
4. Do the members of your small group know about any of the spiritual experiences that have made the greatest impact in your life?
5. Self-sufficiency, formality, bitterness, elitism: Do these categories suggest any areas of sin you may need to confess? Invite the evaluation of others.
6. Take a poll. Do most people in your small group find it easier to answer a question about their spiritual life than ask such a question of someone else?
7. If the answer to Question 6 is yes, then go ahead and ask someone about his or her spiritual life - because most people won't mind answering!
8. Pray that God would help you have the humility and passion to seize future opportunities for fellowship.
