Week 26:
ZUME Session 6
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 Galatians 4:3-7
Have everyone go around and try to recite the whole passage by memory.
Discuss:
Think about God's commands that you already know. How "faithful" are you in terms of obeying and sharing those things?
Have you determined your spiritual maturity based on how much you know or how faithful you?
Discuss:
Have you ever been a part of a Training Cycle?
Who did you train? Or who trained you?
Could the same person be at different parts of the Training Cycle while learning different skills?
What would it look like to train someone like that?
Practice Instructions:
Split into men and women groups if applicable.
Pair up and each person takes 3 minutes to share the Gospel. The other should keep the time on their phone.
After each get a chance to share, change pairs and practice again. Repeat this at least one more time for a total of 3 times; up to 5 times max.
This Week’s Application:
Make a plan to share the Gospel with each of the 5 people you’ve been daily praying for.
Plan a time this upcoming week to train your “one” in sharing the Gospel and making their own plan to share the Gospel with their 5 that they’ve been daily praying for.
Ask someone pray to close out your group’s time.
