Week of January 29, 2012

1. Read Mark 1:21-28.
2. Besides the "new St. Andrew's", what is the most amazing and moving church you've ever been in? What made it so?
3. Father Mike's sermon stressed the importance of having a building. How important is it, in your point of view? Would St. Andrew's have been OK had we never built?
4. How do you think the building can be used by the Lord as a tool to reach our mission field?
5. What impact do you think it will have on the way we attract and maintain new members? What impact will it have on our current congregation?
6. Can you think of ways that having a building will improve your relationship with the Lord? How so?
7. Note how the demon possessed man was in the synagogue. Do you think that people feel like they need to "fix themselves" before they can come to church? Have you felt that way? What can we do as a church community to make it easier for people to come in?
8. What miracles would you like to see the Lord perform in our new building? For others? For you?
9. Pray for one another...
