This simple process helps us engage God's Word together, learn how to hear his voice, obey with graceful accountability, and be empowered to partner with Jesus on mission.

1. What are you thankful for today?
2. What is challenging me right now?  What about my friends, family, and neighbors?
Pray: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit, minister to these needs.

Ask someone (or the group) to retell the story from the last meeting.
-   What do you remember about the passage?
-   Did you do the action you committed to?  How did it go?
-   Who did you share it with and how did they respond?

Pray: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit, speak to us as we open your Living Word. 
Have at least 2 people read the verses out loud.
     3.What does this passage teach us about God?  How can I know Him better?
     4. What does this passage teach us about people?  How can I know myself better?

Have the group/person re-tell the passage in their own words.  Everyone helps/participates until we’ve exhausted the passage.

Pray: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit, guide our steps as we partner with you on mission this week.
     5.What action step can I take this week in response to this passage? (I will…)
     6.Who would God have me share it with this week?
     7. What needs can we meet?

Prayer: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit, we go from this place as followers learning to live and love like you. Help us to see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and love with your love. I lay down my life so you can live in and through me. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, here on earth as it is in heaven.
