Product Overview
Live In Community
When God looked at the first human in Genesis 2:18, God proclaimed that it was not good for the human to be alone and created a partner to provide companionship and company. Since the beginning, humans have lived in some type of community. At their best, these communities work together to share abundant life. The church is a living community committed to gathering together across differences, feasting and listening together, uplifting those in need, and supporting those who depart. This vision of believers worshiping God together as they learn to live a life worthy of the gospel is strong evidence that life in community is intrinsic to being a Christian. Explore what living in community truly means with this unit from Follow Me.
Adult Leader's Guide
This leader’s guide uses the Adult Reflection Guide to lead a small group study on the practice. This guide contains a summary of the practice and the four (or six) sessions, background information on the Bible study for the session, and any preparation the leader may need to do ahead of the session. There are different options of activities and discussions to choose from throughout the session. Participants are asked to read through the Adult Reflection Guide, if possible, before each session. There are other great resources for adults in the Congregational Guide.
Featured in the Adult Leader’s Guide:
- Gather across Differences (Exodus 20:1–17; Mark 1:16–20; 1 Corinthians 1:10–17)
- Feast and Listen (Exodus 13:1–10; Matthew 14:1–21; Acts 2:41–47)
- Uplift Those in Need (Deuteronomy 24:14–22; Acts 6:1–7; Numbers 27:1–11)
- Support Those Who Depart (Deuteronomy 34:1–12; Acts 15:36–41; Philippians 4:1–9)
In addition to the material in the Adult Leader’s Guide and the Adult Reflection Guide, there are also free videos that leaders can use as conversation starters for the unit and each session. Visit our YouTube Channel, bit.ly/FMYouTubeGFR, to see the playlist for this unit.
