    • Is there anything this group can do to help with some of the needs mentioned?

  • How did your “I Will…” statement go from last week?

  • Did You share your story, or God's story with anyone?

LOOK UP (1/3 OF YOUR TIME)

Read & Discuss

This Weeks Passage: n/a

  • Pause for a 30 second breath prayer - “Holy Spirit, Come”

  • Read the passage in 2-3 different translations

  • What does this teach us about God and people?

  • What does this teach us about the life God wants us to live?

LOOK FORWARD (1/3 OF YOUR TIME)

Obey - Share - Pray (never skip)

Pause and have everyone in the group pray for the Spirit to show them how to answer these questions:

  • How will you obey this passage?

    • Create an “I Will…” statement and write it down.

  • Who will you share your story or God's story with this week?/ Who are you inviting to Halloween Community Night?

Pray for One Another

Create space for listening prayer and prophecy if you didn’t get to it last week:

  • Use the ABC’s to process God’s voice during listening prayer.

  • Invite the Holy Spirit to speak and ask simply:

    • God is there anything you want to say to an individual or this group as a whole tonight?

Pray for the person to your left:

  • Ask God to give them the strength to be obedient to their commitments.

  • Ask God to prepare the hearts of the people who will be hearing about Jesus through them this week.
