Week 26:

Share Your Story

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 everyone go around and try to recite the whole passage by memory.

Practice Instructions:

• Break off into pairs; if you are in a mixed group, please split off during this time. 

• In pairs, have each person practice sharing their story for three minutes, then switch people.

• Make a plan to reach out to each of your 5 and try to share your story with each of them.

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

• Please end your time by praying for the group.
