Church at Home

Brought to you by BibleProject.com

 

WEEK 1

In the last few weeks, the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted our entire world. For most of us, this has affected every area of life, including the weekly rhythms of our church, whether that’s a small home group or a Sunday worship service. We believe in the local church. Our team at BibleProject wanted to create a resource that could serve families, small groups, and individuals during this unique time.

Every week, you’ll find one of our BibleProject videos, along with some suggested Scripture readings that focus on the ideas explored in the video. You’ll also see some suggested discussion questions for each Scripture reading that could be used for a group conversation or personal reflection. Feel free to use as much or as little as you’d like, we just wanted to provide some ways to generate Jesus-centered conversations at home.

This week’s video and Scripture readings focus on the story of God’s generosity in the Bible and what it might look like for us to continue that story in our world today.

READ & DISCUSS

Scripture Reading One: Luke 12:22-34

  • Creation is an expression of God’s generous love. Where do you see the generosity of God in the world, your life, or the story of the Bible? What are you most grateful for?
  • What are you anxious about in your present situation? Reflect on God’s love and care and how it might help alleviate your anxiety.

Scripture Reading Two: 1 Timothy 6:17-19

  • In times of crisis, a “scarcity mindset”—focusing on what you don’t have—can easily cause us to cling to worldly goods. Do you experience this? What would you and others around you gain by trusting God’s generous love instead?
  • This passage includes a special command to the rich to be generous. While we might not be rich in wealth, we have all been given gifts that we can share with others, whether our time, care, prayer, resources, etc. Reflect on what specifically you can share and with whom.

Scripture Reading Three: 2 Corinthians 8:1-9

  • In this passage, Paul says that becoming rich is found in Jesus. What does this mean? Is Paul talking about worldly wealth or something else?
  • The Macedonians are presented as a positive example of a group that joyfully gave in the midst of trial and poverty. As a group, they made a huge impact. How can the groups you’re part of do something meaningful in this time?
