Discussion Questions: How would you rate the health of our church? What factors do you base that on? What aspects of church life found in today's text could be healthier at HBC? Does your individual lifestyle lead to greater or lesser corporate church health at HBC? Does your lifestyle display the early church's priority of Bible doctrine, fellowship, communion, and prayer? Is the church and its mission the focus of your life or merely an added aspect? Do you genuinely desire for the church to grow? What are you doing about it? What could you do about it?
