Discussion Questions

Can you relate at all to the deep ache for home Pastor Reece talked about? Were you able to satisfy that ache? Explain.
How does Isaiah’s vision of a renewed world speak into the places you feel weary or exiled?
Why do our earthly homes—even at Christmas—never fully satisfy us?
How does Jesus’ own experience of homelessness deepen your understanding of the gospel?
What is one practical way you can “come home” to God this Advent season? Are there any practices or commitments you want to make to help you experience his embrace this Christmas?

Prayer Points

Thank the Lord for leaving his home to bring you back home
Pray for those in your life who feel estranged this holiday season that they would experience the hospitality of God

Reach One

As we continue to grow as Thoughtful Witnesses, we’re inviting everyone to “reach one” person that’s far from God by praying for them by name daily and engaging them in some way monthly (see the page below for ideas). To help encourage one another in this season, we’re asking each Community Group to discuss the following questions at least monthly.

How can we pray for your “one”? How are you hoping to engage your “one” this month?
