We are excited to introduce you to Gospel Triplets as an opportunity for us to grow in Christ together.
What is a Gospel Triplet?
Triplets are 3 or 4 guys or girls seeking to grow in Christ together by applying the gospel to the Head, Heart, and Hands.
It’s a safe space for you to be real about your sin and struggle, where the truth about Jesus can be applied to your real-life circumstances, and where we can be help accountable for living in the way of Jesus.
What will it look like?
We’re encouraging Gospel Communities to incorporate Triplets into their monthly meeting rhythms, meeting in Triplets once a month instead of your normal GC gathering. Your GC Leader will help you form a Triplet within your group.
We encourage you to meet for around 90 minutes in a quiet space where you feel safe to share vulnerably and won’t be distracted.
How to Use the Time
Catch Up and Check In (30min)
- What’s been good for you this week?
- What are you struggling with this week?
- How are you going with work/relationships/faith?
Read & Discover Scripture (30min)
- What do you notice in this passage?
- What does it say about God (who he is, what he’s done)?
- What does it say about us (who we are, how we should live)?
Apply & Pray (30min)
- How do these truth speak into your life and struggles?
- Where do you need to repent?
- How will you live in response to this?
- What do you want me to hold you accountable for?
Habits of Purpose
In addition to drawing application from Scripture, we’re encouraging Triplets to incorporate spiritual practices that will help us follow the way of Jesus. In his book The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction, Justin Earley introduces eight habits to help us love God and love neighbour.
Daily Habits
- Kneeling Prayer x3
- One meal with others
- One hour with phone off
- Scripture before phone
Weekly Habits
- Sabbath
- One hour conversation with friend
- Reduce media to 4 hours
- 24 hour fast
You don’t need to do all of these habits at once. We recommend your Triplet experimenting with 1–2 to help you intentionally practice the way of Jesus.
