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.

w/c 3 Nov 2025

Read Luke 6:37-49 for context..

  1. On judgment and forgiveness (v 37-42)

    1. Jesus says, "Do not judge, and you will not be judged" (v. 37). What is the difference between judging and holding someone accountable?

    2. Jesus commands us to forgive and give (v. 37). What does it mean to "give" to others, and how can we be more generous with our forgiveness and mercy?

    3. How can we obey Jesus' instruction not to judge while still being able to help or confront one another in love? 

    On discipleship and authenticity (v 43-45)

    1. Jesus' teaching about the good tree and bad fruit (vv. 43-44) emphasizes that a person's actions are a result of their inner character. What are some ways to cultivate a "good tree" inside of us, and what are signs that a tree is "bad"?

    On obedience and foundation (v 46-49)

    1. What does Jesus mean when he asks, "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell you?" (v. 46). How can we be sure we are truly listening to and obeying him?

    2. Jesus contrasts building a house on rock versus sand (vv. 47-49). What are the implications of building your life on the "rock" of Jesus' words? What does that mean practically?
