“Overcoming Barriers”
Bible Reading John 4:1-27
1. What can this story teach us about God?
2. What can it teach us about people?
3. What groups of people do you feel uncomfortable around? Why?
4. What does our church do well in the area of making the gospel available to all people?
5. What would you say is the number one barrier we face as a church in bringing the gospel message to our community? Why? What can we do to overcome that? What have you tried personally that helped?
6. Most unchurched people feel as it they are projects of churched people. Do you think this statement is fair? Has this been your experience? How can we prevent it?
7. Have you ever asked your non-Christian friends for help? What happened?
Apply It
1. At the heart of being a Christ Follower is humility. Why is that important?
How can you apply that in your life? How can your group help you?
2. Serving people involves both giving and receiving.
How good are you at striking a balance between the two? Why?
