Week 8:

Accountability

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 Titus 3:3-8

    • 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.

*For mixed groups, please separate the men and women.

Accountability Questions

READ: “If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.” 1 John 1:6-10 NIV

Pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal sin, bring healing, help us repent, and deepen our fellowship with each other and with the Lord through this time of confession.

  • Were you exposed to sexually alluring material or allowed your mind to entertain inappropriate sexual thoughts?

  • Is there any person/thing your heart is worshiping other than Jesus?

  • How are you investing God’s money to expand His Kingdom?

  • How are you honoring and blessing the important relationships in your life?

  • How have you engaged the lost with the hope of sharing Jesus with them?

  • Who is one person in your life that you can invite into a discipleship relationship, where you can train them to learn the discipleship tools you’re learning and practicing? How’s that going?

  • How are you doing? (for real)

  • How have you seen God at work in your life?

  • What’s God teaching you through the Word/Prayer life?

  • Is there anyone you are struggling to forgive?

  • Is there any fear/anxiety weighing on your heart?

    Take 5 minutes to listen to the Lord about how He wants you to repent? Then each person is to share what they heard from the Lord.

    Pray for each other to walk in the light and fellowship of God through Jesus Christ. Thank the Lord for His promise to forgive us and purify us because of Jesus’ sacrifice.
