Bringing Home the Message: How Community Can Multiply the Power of the Preached Word

This book will help pastors and church leaders integrate small group ministry with the Sunday sermon. Perkins considers the biblical, theological, historical and sociological basis for the importance of hearing God’s word in the context of community and presents a methodology for implementing sermon-based small group Bible studies. The volume includes fourteen Study Guides and Leader’s Notes using Luke’s Gospel and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare effective inductive Bible study questions for small groups.
