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 21 April 2026

Read Luke 24:36-43

This is the last week of our two term look at Luke’s Gospel.  Has your view of Jesus changed as a result of looking intently at his life again?

  1. Jesus brings Peace into the midst of Fear (v 36-43)
    When Jesus appears, the disciples are startled and afraid - but His first words are “Peace be with you.”
    What fears and uncertainties do you relate to in this moment, and how does Jesus’ response speak into them?

  2. Jesus turns their Doubt into Encounter (v 36-43)
    The disciples struggle to believe even while seeing Jesus.
    Andy suggested that faith and doubt coexist? How does this reflect your own experience of faith?

  3. Jesus turns Confusion into Clarity (v 44-47)
    Jesus “opens their minds” to understand the Scriptures.
    What does this suggest about the role of the bible in knowing Jesus? How can we allow the word shape our lives more each day… how are you REALLY doing?

  4. Jesus turns their Pointlessness into Purpose (v 48,49)
    Jesus tells them they are witnesses and promises power from on high.
    What does it mean to be a witness in your daily life? What might “being clothed with power” look like practically?

  5. The Disciples respond in Joy and Worship (v 50-53)
    After the ascension, the disciples return with great joy and worship.
    Why do you think their response is joy rather than sadness? What does this teach us about trust in Jesus’ ongoing presence?
