Week 21:

List of Five

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 Ephesians 2:1-10

    • Have someone pray this passage over the group, that this would be their identity and reality.

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

Practice Instructions:

  • Pray for 5 minutes about who you should put down on your list of 5.

  • Write down their names on the sheet below. (It’s okay if you don’t have 5)

  • As a group, take the rest of the time to pray for the people you wrote down. Each person can go around and pray over their list.

  • Set an alarm on your phone as a way to remember to pray for your “5”

  • After the first week, talk with each person and ask what you can pray for them about. Pray with them right then and there. Keep praying for them for the rest of the month.

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

  • Please end your time by praying for the group.
