1. Connect

Where have you seen God working this past week or is there anything you'd like to thank Him for?

Are you carrying any burdens or facing any challenges?

Give thanks for what God has done and pray for one another.

 

2. Review

What do you remember from the previous passage?

How did you apply what you learned?

Did you share that passage or the message of the gospel with anyone?

3. New Bible Passage - Matthew 22:35-40; Psalm 1

First, tell the story in your own words.

Then, read the passage from the Bible two times. (ask others to read if comfortable)

Discuss these questions:

• What does it teach us about God?
• What does it teach us about people?
• What else stands out to you?

 

4. Practice

Practice retelling the Bible story in your own words.

 

Practice Discipleship Tool: Read the Word - S.0.S

“Instead, the law of the Lord gives them joy. They think about his law day and night.” Psalm1:2

After reading a passage, ask these questions and write down your thoughts: 

S: Lord, what are you saying to me in this passage?

O: Lord, how should I obey this passage?

S: Lord, whom should I share this with?

 

Give everyone a pen and paper. Set a timer for around 15 minutes. Put on some background music. Everyone reads Psalm 119:9-16 on their own and writes down their answers to the S.O.S. questions. Come back together and ask everyone to share their answers.
