The Gospel-Centered Community: Study Guide with Leader's Notes

Grow Authentic, Gospel-Shaped Community

We don't want to be alone. We want to love and be loved; and we know that genuine relationships make our lives rich. But somehow living in community always ends up being harder than we thought.

This nine-lesson small group study helps participants learn how the Holy Spirit shapes diverse people into a Christ-centered community that reflects Jesus to a watching world. Each lesson is self-contained, featuring clear teaching from biblical Scripture, and requires no extra work outside the group setting. The self-explanatory Leader's Guide helps small group leaders with discussion questions and background material that clearly explain and apply the gospel truths from each lesson.

The Gospel-Centered Community has been specifically designed to help bring Christian ethics based on biblical scripture to your community to help everybody live a more fulfilled, gospel-centered, happier life through stronger relationships with our neighbours and with Jesus Christ.
