Mission Possible -- Being the Church

The following questions can be used as a study aid but there was not a sermon preached at the Grace Place on Sunday, October 2, 2011.  Instead the church met under the trees and a bright, blue sky in the church park for singing and prayer before heading out in our green t-shirts into the community to service others.  We called it "Grace on the Go -- 10/2 Their Needs.   

These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as a basis for a small group study. For more information on hosting or leading a small group study, click on "GP Small Groups" under "GP Ministries" at www.graceplace.us.

John Maxwell said, “People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.”  Who specifically in your life needs to know how much you care?  You do not need to answer this question aloud (or you can).  Pray for God to reveal ways for you to show His care to that person through an act of kindness.
