First Priority Follow-Up Guide: The Story of Jesus and The Story of The Church CommunitySample

Big Idea

How Paul started communities in cities across the Roman Empire.

Personal Questions 

A big part of Paul’s message was telling people that there was a new King who wasn’t mean or selfish. Instead, He was a loving and selfless king named Jesus. How has Jesus shown up in your life to show that He loves and cares about you unconditionally?

Community Question

Paul traveled across countries and continents telling people about Jesus. Without having to make travel plans, what are simple ways that you can share the good news of Jesus with the people around you?

Going Deeper 

The love of Jesus creates communities where all people are equal. Jesus doesn’t rank people based on the color of their skin, the kind of clothes they wear, or the amount of money they have. Jesus loves everyone equally and died for everyone for that reason. It can sometimes be hard to see people the way that Jesus does. Sometimes we want to rank people based on what they look like or the kind of life they live. Today, consider how you can start learning to see and love others the way that Jesus does: equally.
