These questions are a guideline for your personal or small group study based on Sunday's sermon passage. Feel free to study and meditate on the passage more deeply. ​​

1. How does Scripture define true fellowship differently from simple social connection, and why is that distinction so important for the church?

2. The teaching says, “Fellowship is the root, witness is the fruit”, so why does evangelism feel weak or absent in many believers’ lives?

3. The early church “continued steadfastly” in fellowship (Acts 2:42). What does that reveal about the difference between commitment and convenience in Christian community, and where do we most often substitute one for the other?

4. We are not merely saved from something, but saved for something. How does that truth confront passive Christianity or the temptation to treat church as a spiritual service provider?

5. If our church truly lived as people deeply connected to Christ, committed to one another, and intentionally sent to the world, what would be visibly different about our culture, priorities, and reputation in the community around us?

6. [Challenge/Growth Question] When you honestly evaluate your own life, are you more drawn toward private faith, comfortable community, or outward witness, and what might that reveal about the current health of your spiritual root system?
