Week 17:

Zume Session 4

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 Colossians 2:9-15

    • Have someone in the group play a worship song in response to this gospel passage.

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

ZUME TRAINING:

Discuss:

  • Is this the pattern you were taught when you first began to follow Jesus? If not, what was different?

  • After you came to faith, how long was it before you began to disciple others?

  • What do you think would happen if new followers started sharing and discipling others, immediately?

Discuss:

  • Who are you more comfortable sharing with: people you already know or people you don’t know?

  • Why do you think that is?

  • How could you get better at sharing with people you're less comfortable with?

Practice Instructions:

  • For the next 20 minutes, have everyone fill out their list of 100.

  • Circle 5 names of people who you identified as either “unbeliever” or “unknown”.

  • Everyone should go around and share who they circled.

This Week’s Application:

  • Everyone should set an alarm on their phones to pray for their 5 people everyday, specifically that they would be saved, and begin following Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

  • Plan a time this upcoming week to train your “one” in creating their own list of 100 and circling their 5 from it to begin praying daily for them.

Ask someone pray to close out your group’s time.
