Slingshot | Grow
Using the life of David, we’re taking four weeks to look at four essential practices that Christians have devoted themselves to for two thousand years: Gather, Grow, Give and Go. These practices are what Jesus has always called his church to do. This week we’re talking about growing … together.

1 Samuel 23:14-18
Questions:
- Describe a great community that you have been a part of. What was special about it?
- Jonathan showed up for David. Who has done this for you? How easy is it for you to do this for others?
- Jonathan encouraged David in the Lord. What would it look like for your small group to do that for each other? Try it! Say one specific piece of encouragement to each person in the circle.
- Jonathan and David were committed to the relationship. Do you find it easy or difficult to commit to a small group? Why?
- How is the Holy Spirit inviting you to grow in community this year? Pray for each other about that.
