People [Nehemiah 7:4-73]


Sermon Discussion Questions
  • Why are there so many lists in the Bible?  What do these lists tell us about God?  About the people of God?  About us today?
  • As a group, discuss how this passage places centrality on community.  When you think of your life as a Christian, do you think of yourself as connected to others?  What in our culture (including our "church culture") contributes to thinking very individualistically about our lives as Christians?
  • Have you ever felt isolated in church?  Discuss your experiences as a group.  Why did you feel isolated?  What did Ryan mention in helping combat isolation in our churches?
  • Think of all the "wonderfully weird" people God has placed in your life (particularly at church).  Without the need to share specifics, is there one or two of those people you struggle to love?  What steps could you take to move towards those people to share with them in community?
  • "Keep Covenant Weird."  What would it look like for us to truly adopt this as our motto?  In other words, what if we actually lived out this reality?  How would or could it potentially change Covenant Church?
