As a Christian church, we exist to honour God by helping local
people worship God, grow spiritually, serve others, and reach
their communities and the world with the message and love of
Jesus Christ.

Discussion
Starters
- When
John the Baptist began his ministry, it caused a great deal of excitement. Why
was that? What did John think of this attention?
- Why did John dress so oddly and eat odd foods and
speak so bluntly? Was he a prophet of God?
- What was to happen when Jesus came? Did it
happen?
- When John
was arrested the people were left with a decision: what am I to do now? What
did they do?
- How do
we sift out novelty and get to the substance of faith? Do we know what is
substance and what is novelty?
- What fuels your interest in the Christian faith? How is it
sustained?
- How can
we be sure we are ready to meet God when we gather to worship or come to Bible
study?
- In general,
what sorts of things do people think are most important in a religious life?
Should they be important?
- If we were to meet someone like John the Baptist today what would we
think? Could we get past the eccentricities (camel hair and locust, etc.) to
the truth?
- What does
it actually mean to be a true follower of Jesus?
