Series… Reclaiming the Ordinary: Simple Rhythms for a Meaningful Life.

Main Points The weight of the division around us can be crushing. We’ve created rhythms of isolation. We reclaim unity by prioritizing a rhythm of community. Faith grows by regularly acting it out with other people. Real change happens when we follow Jesus together. Following Jesus is more about a rhythm of practiced community than personal development. We are committed to making our love stronger than our disagreements. The world doesn’t need perfect people, just ordinary people reclaiming ordinary lives… together.

Invitation: This week purposely practice a rhythm of community.

Discussion Questions:

1. When you hear the word community, what comes to mind… positive or negative?
2. Have you ever pulled away from people because of disagreement or division? What happened?
3. Re-read Acts 2:42–47. What stands out to you about how the first Jesus Followers lived?
4. What’s one “ordinary” way you could practice community this week… sharing a meal, praying with someone, or reaching out?
5. How can your group pray with you this week?
