Instructions & How to Use
LOOK BACK (First Third — 25%)
- Caring & Thanksgiving: What are you grateful for this week? What personal burdens or challenges are you currently facing?
- Accountability: Did you obey your “I Will” commitment from last week? With whom did you share the scripture passage?
LOOK UP (Middle Third — 50%)
- Read Passage: Read the scripture aloud twice using two distinct Bible translations (e.g. ESV and NIV).
- Retell: Rephrase the story in your own words without looking at the text to ensure group comprehension.
- Discovery Questions:
- What does this passage reveal about God’s character, desires, and heart?
- What does it show about human nature, struggles, and our need for God?
LOOK FORWARD (Final Third — 25%)
- Obedience Statement: “If this is God’s Word, what will I do this week to obey it?” Formulate a specific, measurable “I Will...” action step.
- Gospel Sharing: Who in your relational network needs to hear this story this week?
- Corporate Prayer: Pray specifically for each other’s obedience, family needs, and open doors for gospel conversations.
