Life Together
A SIX WEEK SPIRITUAL GROWTH FOCUS ON CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
Chapter two walks through the Christian’s day and offers insight into
how life in light of the resurrection might look. The beginning of the
day “does not belong to the individual, it belongs to the Church of the
triune God, to the Christian family, to the brotherhood.” Bonhoeffer
argues that morning is the time Christians should worship together in
order to set the day right.
Bonhoeffer goes on to unpack the various aspects of the Christian’s life
in community throughout the day. Some of the topics covered include:
Reading the Scriptures — This section discusses the importance of
reading the Word of God to one another, especially at the beginning of a day.
Singing the New Song — Bonhoeffer stresses the need for the
church to sing not only psalms taken from Scripture, but also the
“new song” that the psalms command us to sing so often.
Saying Our Prayers Together — Christians are to bring their
prayers to the Lord in their own words, and prayer is often done
best in community.
The Fellowship of the Table — When Christians gather together
for a meal, they ought to recognize that God “is the giver of all
good gifts; and beyond this, as the true Gift; the true Bread of
life itself; and finally, as the One who is calling them to the banquet of the Kingdom of God.”
The Day’s Work — Bonhoeffer states that “prayer and working are
two different things. Prayer should not be hindered by work,
but neither should work be hindered by prayer.”
Walk with the wise and become
wise, for a companion of fools
suffers harm. Prov. 13:20
Walk Together
(Share and pray with a spiritual friend):
Talk Together
(Help for Family Discussions around the Table):
How important is it to share good things with others?
How important is it to share the teachings and encouragement of the Bible with others?
How can we encourage others with God’s Holy Word?
Remember Together
(This Weeks Memory Verse):
Walk with the wise and become wise,
for a companion of fools suffers
harm. Prov. 13:20
Bonus: Psalm 1
Meet Together
Discussion Questions for Life
1. Review memory verses. How did it go this week with daily
devotions, spiritual meetings?
2. Context: Bonhoeffer wrote this material out of the life situation of living in community with students in the underground Lutheran seminary in Germany. As a result the material is most applicable to cloistered communities. Yet
there are principles that still apply to gathered and dispersed communities like Uxbridge Baptist Church. See
what you think applies as you work through this chapter.
3. How do you begin your day? How is this different than the
community in which Bonhoeffer is writing?
4.Beginning on page 47, Bonhoeffer addresses the meaning and
value of praying the book of the Psalms. What are three
reasons he provides (p.47-50)? What have you/your home
group discovered about prayer and the psalms?
5. From pages 50-57, Bonhoeffer takes up the Christian community’s experience of the Bible. What do you make of his
statement on p. 54, “it is in fact more important for us to
know what God did to Israel, to His Son Jesus Christ, than
to seek what God intends for us today.”? What instruction
do we receive from Mark 1:35?
6. What dangers does Bonhoeffer warn us against as we read
Scripture within the Christian community? On the basis of
1 Tim. 4:13, 2 Tim. 3:15 and Col. 2:3, what would you say
to our generation about the Bible and community?
7. According to Bonhoeffer, what is the role of music and hym-
