Week of October 27, 2024
Read Joshua 3-4
- In his sermon, Pastor Ellis shared two stories of churches spreading hope amidst hopelessness (an EPC church in Asheville, NC and Chapel Hill’s story). What inspirational stories have you heard where individuals or churches have done the same?
- What do we learn about the character of God from Joshua’s story?
- In the book of Joshua, God makes a way where it seems like this would be impossible. What barriers did God break through in Joshua’s story and where have you experienced God breaking through barriers in your own life?
- On St Andrews Sunday, Chapel Hill takes the time to intentionally remember our past and give gratitude to God for the members and leaders on whose shoulders we stand. Who is someone significant to you in your own journey of faith?
- As a LifeGroup or a family, take some time this week to share your family/group history. How did this community come to be? What are some of the highs and the lows on the journey? How have you seen God’s faithfulness to you throughout it all?

Read Acts 11:19-30
- Name a time when you were really out of your comfort zone. What did it feel like? How did you overcome the challenges?
- How does the strategic location of Antioch compare to other significant cities mentioned in the Bible? What do you think made it an ideal hub for the early church’s mission to the Gentiles?
- Why do you think God used unnamed people to spread the gospel in Antioch rather than the well-known apostles? What theological insights can we draw from this about the role of ordinary believers in the church?
- Barnabas empowered Saul for ministry, giving him space to lead. Have you ever had someone empower you in your faith journey? How did it impact your growth as a believer?
- Who is someone in the next generation that you are uniquely positioned to empower in their faith journey?
- Every one of the disciples gave. And each gave according to their ability. What’s your next step in your journey of generosity?
