Week 3:

ZUME Session 1

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

    • Ask: “What do you need to embrace from this 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:

  • If Jesus intended every one of His followers to obey His Great Commission, why do so few actually make disciples?

  • Is the idea that God uses ordinary people different from what you had learned or assumed was the plan?

 
 

Discuss:

  • Why is it essential to learn to hear and recognize God's voice?

  • Is hearing and responding to the Lord really like breathing? Why or why not?

Discuss:

  • How important is it for me to share what I hear from God in my Bible study time?

Practice Instructions:

  • Everyone should read 1 Peter 5:1:10 and do a SOAPS on it

  • Have everyone share their SOAPS with the group

This Week’s Application:

  • Everyone should do a SOAPS everyday this week. Please use whatever reading plan you’re already utilizing, just do a SOAPS on it.

  • Everyone should teach SOAPS to their “one”.

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