Your habits and practices inform every part of your life. What would it look like to order those habits around Jesus and his Word? Would you have to change things? Followers of Jesus should always follow the guiding principle to be disciples and make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). Answer these three questions to help identify the spaces where you can make disciples:

-Where am I going?

-Who is with me, prayerfully supporting me as I make disciples?

-Who is close to me but might be far from God?

HEARING WHAT GOD IS SAYING

One of the best ways to hear what God is saying right now is to look at what He has said in the Bible with a few friends. Discovery Bible Study is an easy-to-use way to hear from God, make good changes in our lives, and share with others what God is up to. Grab some friends, pick a verse or story from above, and dive deeper into this week’s message.

Recap

+ Reconnect

To begin the study, each person answers these questions:

• What are you thankful for?
• What is causing stress for our neighbors and people around us?
• What can we as individuals or as a group do to help?
  

+ Recap

• Have someone retell the story from your previous meeting.
• Did you live out your response from last week?
• Did you tell anyone else about the story from last week?
