Blackaby closes the main body of the book by returning to the community dimension — but now with a richer, fuller vision of what a congregation looks like when it is corporately experiencing God. Come ready to imagine what your church could become.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Blackaby describes what it looks like when an entire church, not just individuals within it, is experiencing God together. Have you ever been part of a community like that — or seen one from the outside? What marked it as different?
2.The chapter points to Acts 4 — where the early church prayed together after Peter and John were released, and the place was shaken — as a picture of corporate encounter with God. What conditions made that possible? Are those conditions reproducible today?
3.Blackaby teaches that a church's unity in seeking God is itself a witness to the world — that when God's people move together in love and obedience, the watching world takes notice. Where does your church have the most room to grow in that kind of unified seeking?
a.What is the biggest barrier to that unity in your specific context?
b.What is one thing your small group could do to model it?
