  2. Read the passage in 2-3 different translations 📖

  3. What does this passage teach us about God and People? 🤔

  4. What does this passage teach us about the life that God wants us to live? 🏃‍♂️

LOOK FORWARD (1/3 OF YOUR TIME)

Obey - Share - Pray

Pause and have everyone in the group pray for the Spirit to show them how they can obey this passage.

If necessary, split up into smaller groups to make sure everyone has time to share and pray.

  1. Create “I Will…” statement and write it down. ✍️

    • SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely)

  2. What opportunities will you have to share your story or God's story this week? 📣

    • Who are you inviting to Halloween Community Night? 🎃

  3. Pray for each other 🙏

    • For stressors shared in the beginning 😩

    • For God to give them the strength to be obedient to their “I will” 💪

    • For God to prepare the hearts of the people who will be hearing their story or God’s through them this week. ♥️

This time is also space to:

  • Confess/repent of a current struggle and ask for accountability. 🏋️

  • Share anything specific on behalf of another that needs to be shared? (Blessing, Prophecy, Word of Knowledge, etc.) 🕊️
