• What is something you’ve stayed committed to for a long time? (job, habit, team, etc.) What helped you stay consistent?

• When life gets busy, what typically gets pushed out first? Why is church often one of them?

1. What commands or actions do you see in this passage?
2. Which one is the easiest for you? Which is the hardest?
3. What is the connection between gathering and spiritual growth?

• Culture drifts toward isolation.
• Scripture calls us to intentional community.
• A committed minority can shift an entire environment (home, church, community).

1. REMEMBER what Jesus has done.

• When was the last time you intentionally reflected on what Jesus has done for you?
• Application: Build a rhythm of remembering (journaling, communion, sharing stories).
• Read Psalms 103:2 together.

2. RALLY around the hope we have.

• Where are you drawing hope from right now?
• Application: Put yourself in environments where your faith gets refueled (worship, prayer, people).
• Read Romans 15:13 together.

3. REMAIN rooted in the truth.

• What voices are shaping your thinking most right now?
• Application: Prioritize truth—Scripture over culture, depth over surface.
• Read Colossians 2:6-8, John 8:31 & Psalms 1:1-3 together.

4. RAISE the bar.

• Who are you actively encouraging or challenging in their faith? How do you respond when someone calls you OUT & UP?
• Application: Intentionally build someone up this week.
• Read Proverbs 27:17 & 1 Thessalonians 5:11 together.

5. REGULARLY gather.

• Have you made gathering a decision or a weekly debate?
• Application: Decide once, not weekly!
• Read Psalms 92:12-13 together.

• Have you made church a priority, or just an option?
• What would change in your life if you fully committed to biblical community?
• Where have you seen the impact of “showing up” consistently?
