10-09-05 Discussion Questions

At Crosspoint we really do want to be a church that looks beyond the walls and develops relationships with people who don't know Christ. This can be difficult. Even for Jesus it proved to cause problems. Often the church becomes comfortable with who it is and the people that come to church. Let's consider how we can take the church to those beyond the walls. Let's ask God to challenge us to risk the relationship in order that others might know him.

Consider the relationships that you have and think about these questions this week:

• Do you notice people throughout your day or do you tend to go about your own business?



• Is it hard for you to develop new relationships?



• Do you have a lot of friends that you would not consider "church friends"?



• Do you ever have the opportunity to talk to them about God and life?



• Pray this week for those you know who don't have a relationship with God. Ask God to help you to see those around you who need a relationship with someone who will genuinely care for them.
