Connect Groups

These groups are right at the very heart of CCB life and are a brilliant way to meet others on a regular basis (groups meet either weekly or bi-weekly), worship together, study and apply God’s word and pray for one another.  They are places to be real, laugh a lot generally over some sort of food!

Our goal in the groups is to help each other grow in our relationship with God and reach out to others. We generally follow on from the talk on Sunday morning services in the notes we study.

As mentioned above Connect Groups meet mid-week during term time (day time and evenings) and most of the groups are mixed, although we also have some men’s and women’s only groups.

The Worship Playlist that is used in most Connect Groups can be found here and in the YouTube & Spotify links above.

Connect Group Questions
w/c 23 March 2026

Read Luke 19:1-10

Passage Questions…

  1. Jesus Seeks the Lost

    “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (v.10) - What does it mean that Jesus seeks people, not just waits for them?

    2. No One Is Beyond Reach

    Verses 1-3 Zacchaeus was …Wealthy (often linked to corruption), A tax collector (despised by Jews) , Socially isolated … yet Jesus chose him - Who might people today consider “too far gone” and why do we sometimes think certain people are unreachable? Zacchaeus also puts himself in ‘position’ to encounter Jesus – why was he eager to see Jesus?

    3. Jesus Sees and Calls Personally

    Jesus calls Zacchaeus by name and invites himself round for tea! - How does it feel to be personally known and noticed and in what ways might Jesus be calling you right now?

    4. Grace Leads to Transformation

    Zacchaeus responds immediately… Gives half his possessions to the poor and repays those he cheated -  Clive mentioned the importance of repentance… what does real repentance look like today?

    5. Salvation Is for Individuals and households

    Verse 9 - “Today salvation has come to this house…” - How can one person’s faith affect a family or community?

Application Questions (What does it mean for us?)

  • What might be your “tree” (something you’re hiding behind or using to seek Jesus from a distance)?

  • Is there an area of your life where you need to respond like Zacchaeus?
