As part of our mission statement to connect people with God and others, we desire for people to be known in a way that is not possible in a large gathering.

Connection Groups typically gather on Sunday evenings in homes all over Linn County.

Each Sunday we provide questions based on the sermon to guide a discussion time into deeper spiritual understanding.

If you are looking to connect with others, flesh out the sermon in your own life, and invest yourself with a group of loving believers, Connection groups are for you! Click below to get signed up!

See the Need!     Acts 3:1-10     February 1st, 2026

1. How good is your eyesight? Do you need aides to help you read or some distance away? What do you remember about when you first needed assistance to see?

2. You have probably heard (or even used) the expression “You can’t believe everything you see.” What is meant by that? Give an example or two to affirm this statement.

3. Look now at Acts 3. From verse 2, what else can be said to describe the man’s most likely condition; that is, his appearance, dress, odor, attitude, demeanor, or anything else?

4. What is your reaction to someone you might encounter with those circumstances? When have you moved past “barriers” to get to know someone?

5. Now look over at Luke 7. Read verses 36-39. How would you contrast the Pharisee’s attitude with that of the woman? How did the woman interrupt the setting?

6. How dangererous does Simon’s cynical assessment of the woman signal to us?

7. Back to Acts 3, in what ways might we be like the man, expecting something small when God has something greater in mind?

8. What does it look like for us to point people to Jesus rather than drawing attention to ourselves?

9. What can you do to begin to see people differently, the way God sees them? Is there a specific person with whom you need to begin?

10. What can you do to keep an attitude of thankfulness to God For His forgiveness of your sins? What will that attitude of thankfulness look like?
