Print or screenshot this card to keep inside your Bible cover for every Discovery Bible Study meeting:
Part 1: Review & Thanksgiving (15-20 mins)
- What are you thankful for this week?
- What struggles, challenges, or needs do you have?
- How did you obey your "I Will" statement from last week?
- Who did you share last week's passage with?
Part 2: Discover the Word (25-30 mins)
- Read the passage aloud twice (two different readers).
- Ask one person to retell the story in their own words without looking.
- What does this passage teach us about God (His character, plans, desires)?
- What does this passage teach us about people (human nature, sin, faith)?
Part 3: Obey & Multiply (15-20 mins)
- If this passage is God's truth, how will you obey it this week?
- Who in your sphere needs to hear this story?
- How can our group pray for you this week?
Facilitator Ground Rules:
- Guide the conversation, do not dominate it.
- Never answer your own questions.
- Keep the discussion firmly anchored to the passage text.
