LEADER NOTE: HOW TO USE THIS TEACHING TOOL

This is a discussion guide that is based on the same topic of the Sunday night sermon at Joshua House.  It has been created to be a tool to help you teach and facilitate discussion in your group, not a rule to constrict you.  It is based on the dominant idea of the sermon, but uses parallel or closely related scripture verses in order to deepen that same idea.  The benefits of this are:

  1. It lightens the prep work that you have to do to teach your group
  2. It allows people in your group to deepen and process together what they heard on Sunday night.  So information can move from their head into their life.
  3. It brings greater unity to Joshua House as we “move together” through these Discover Community 8-10 week sessions

 Since this study guide is a tool and not a rule, feel free to adapt is to fit your personality and discussion style as you see fit.  You may want to add verses or skip questions as you adapt it to fit what your needs are.  If your group is mature and wants to dig deeper, add more scripture and ask deeper questions. Remember that this is only a guide.

We recognize that this is a new and different concept than what you are used to, so thanks for being willing to try it!  Have fun with this, and make it your own.  I pray that your group flourishes in spiritual growth and welcomes the Spirit of God to have his way among you this year.
