Small Group Guide: Part 7 Living on Mission

A small group guide to study the blog post: Part 7: Living on Mission

Key Scriptures

• Micah 6:8 — “To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
• Matthew 28:19–20 — “Go and make disciples of all nations…”

Opening Thought

Living on mission doesn’t start with a stage or microphone—it begins with a heart surrendered to God’s call. Micah 6:8 centers our lives in justice, mercy, and humility. The Great Commission propels us outward—to reflect God’s love in word and deed.

Icebreaker

What’s one small act of kindness someone did for you that had a big impact?

Read Together

• Micah 6:6–8
• Matthew 28:16–20
• (Optional) Ephesians 2:10

Discussion Questions

1. Living the Micah 6:8 Life

• Which part of Micah 6:8 (justice, mercy, humility) do you feel most drawn to—and which is most challenging for you?
• What does it look like to act justly in everyday life (work, home, community)?

2. The Mission of the Great Commission

• How do you feel when you hear Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples”? Inspired? Intimidated? Unsure?
• Where might God be inviting you to live on mission—in small or surprising ways?

3. Turning Inward Transformation Outward

• Can you think of a time someone’s outward faith (compassion, humility, service) impacted your spiritual journey?
• How can we guard against turning the Christian life into a private experience instead of a shared mission?

4. Living on Mission Daily

• What are some “ordinary” ways to live on mission that often get overlooked?
• If your life pointed someone toward Jesus this week, what would it say?

Practical Applications

• Mission Statement Exercise: Write a personal or group mission statement based on Micah 6:8 + Matthew 28:19–20. Start with: “With humility and purpose, I will…”
• Local Action Step: Choose one act of justice, mercy, or humble service your group can do this week. (e.g., care package, letter of encouragement, community cleanup)
• Live It Daily: Set a phone reminder that says: “Live outward today—who can I serve?”
• Disciple by Example: Mentor someone younger in their faith or simply share what God is teaching you with a friend.

Closing Prayer Prompt

Invite each person to name one place or person where God is nudging them to live “outward.” Then pray this prayer together:

“Lord, help us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with You. Let Your love overflow through our lives so that others may know You and find hope in You. Use us—right where we are—for Your Kingdom purposes. Amen.”
