Week 11:

ACTS PRAYER TOOL

For the first 30 minutes, please enjoy a meal together as a group. This is an intentional time set aside for fellowship. Eating together is a family activity, and helps us become like a spiritual family. This is one simple way we practice doing what Jesus did.

1/3rd

  • Pray for God to train up the group through His Word and Holy Spirit.

  • Ask: “What are you thankful for that God did this week?” (Have everyone share)

  • Ask: Based on the previous 3/3rds we did (Have everyone share):

    • “How did you obey what God taught you to do?”

    • “Who did you teach what God taught to you?”

  • Ask: “Does anyone need help this week? (meals, service, finances, etc.)

  • Ask: “What would you like prayer for?” (Have everyone share; everyone pray for the person on their right)

  • Focus on the Gospel: Read Titus 3:3-8

    • Take communion as a group to celebrate this gospel passage.

    • Read 1 Corinthians 11:23-28 for communion instructions. Follow the Lord’s pattern and examine yourself before partaking.

    • Tell the group that everyone is to try to memorize the entire passage. You’ll have two months to memorize it.

Practice Instructions:

  • Have everyone go around and pray using the ACTS prayer acronym. Remember, it’s Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.

  • For the next week, have everyone set a daily alarm on their phone to practice praying using the ACTS acronym.

  • Think about who the Lord wants you to go and train to use this ACTS Prayer Tool, then go faithfully share it. This is how we practice discipleship and make disciples.

  • Please end your time by praying for the group.
