SPRING TRAINING: Building Team Spirit

SPRING TRAINING:  Building Team Spirit

 

The following questions are to be used as a study aid for the sermon preached at the Grace Place on Sunday, April 21, 2013, by Pastor Tommy Dove. To get the most from these questions, go to www.graceplaceonline.us and listen to the sermon first.

 

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.

 

Fellowship: (Break bread with your community, share life from last week, announcements for next week)

 

Icebreaker: (Get to know your fellow believers a little bit better using this week’s topic)

Tell about a team you have been on.

Who was your best coach/boss?

Who was your worse coach/boss?

How did you respond to being treated badly?

 

Worship: (Optional for communities who have the time and talent)

 

Scripture: (Read the word together – use different readers, different versions, just read it)

               1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

 

Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)

               As a group, make a list of all your church leaders.

               How can you help those in leadership?

               When have you needed encouragement?

               As a group, decide on a way to be of encouragement to someone in your community.

What do you think it means to:

Be joyful always?

Pray continually?

Give thanks in all circumstances?

Is that possible?

              

Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)
