​Things to Consider: (Feel free to read Scripture passages that God brings to mind as you work through these questions)

1. What about the sermon challenged, encouraged, or confused you? What, if anything, would you like further clarification on?
2. In what way do you seek to stay informed of what God is doing in the community and/or around the world and what needs you can be praying for?
3. What is one story you heard recently about how God has worked in and through a fellow Christian and in what way did it encourage you in your own walk with and labor for Christ?
4. What are you doing to either increase or hinder the solidarity of the believers of SBC with other churches and believers in the area?
5. How might SBC be used by God to increase solidarity with other Christians in the area, without falling into a trap of partnering with churches that compromise the gospel (Ephesians 5:7)?​
