Active Gospel connects the Sunday sermon to the rest of your week. Your small group gets a ready-made discussion guide from the same passage your pastor preached, so leaders spend less time preparing and more time shepherding people.
When your pastor is well-prepared, your congregation notices. When your small group has a solid guide, every member participates. Active Gospel makes both happen.
Your small group leader gets a full discussion guide from the same passage as Sunday's sermon. They show up ready without spending hours preparing questions.
The guide uses the same passage your pastor preached. Your group is not starting from scratch. You are continuing a conversation that started on Sunday.
The guide moves from observation to interpretation to application. Each question builds on the last so your group goes deeper than a surface read.
Bible commentary is available for any passage. Members who want to study on their own can read verse-by-verse insights shaped for everyday understanding.
Every discussion guide includes six sections that take your group from a warm opener all the way to a focused closing prayer. Leaders share it and the group does the rest.
01
Two options to open your group with a relaxed, on-topic question. Leaders pick whichever fits the room.
02
Questions that help your group read the passage carefully and notice what the text actually says, before anyone interprets it.
03
Questions that push the group to think about what the text meant in its original setting and what it means today.
04
Personal and practical prompts that help each person connect the passage to their own life, relationships, and decisions.
05
A cross-reference passage and a theological thread for groups that want to keep studying beyond the session.
06
A focused prayer prompt that ties the passage back to a specific need or response so the group closes with purpose.
01
Your pastor uses Active Gospel to research the passage, build an outline, and prepare the sermon for Sunday.
02
From the same passage, Active Gospel creates a full small group guide with icebreakers, questions, and a prayer prompt.
03
Your leader shares the guide and your group works through the passage together. The conversation Sunday started continues all week.
Your church publishes social posts from the same passage each week. Story-style, teaching, and conversational formats keep the congregation connected to the Sunday message between services.

Peter stepped out of the boat before he knew how it would end. Faith is not certainty. It is movement in the direction of trust.
In Matthew 14, Jesus does not calm the storm before Peter gets out. He calls him into it. That is the pattern of faith throughout scripture.
What is one area of your life where you are waiting for certainty before you step out? What would it look like to move anyway?
Join us this Sunday as we continue our series on faith. Bring a friend who is asking the same questions you are.
Ask your pastor to set up Active Gospel for your church. It takes minutes and your whole congregation benefits from the first Sunday. Free to get started.
