Small Group Study GuideCheck-In: Ask: “Did you explore anything last night?” “Why or why not?” “What did you find throughout your exploration?” Ask: Please get in groups of three or four people of the same gender and talk about last night’s Faith Challenge and the question just asked. Discuss how it went, why you did or didn’t do it, how you could make it a regular thing in your life, and then pray with each other over what was discussed. The Bridge Ask them to stay in their groups of 3 or 4. Say: Each group has a few minutes to come up with what they would do or say to convince the whole group to follow them out the door. Give each team about 30 seconds to convince the whole group to follow them out the door. Debrief Which group was most convincing? Which group was the least convincing? Why were these groups either convincing or not convincing? How do these ways relate to how Jesus calls has called people to follow Him? FOCAL POINT Jesus calls you to follow Him. Introduction After Jesus had spent forty days of fasting in the wilderness, He came to the point in His life where He needed disciples to carry on His work and to spread the Good News to all. One day, He was strolling along the Sea of Galilee. An old man fixing a fishing net watched Jesus as He walked barefoot through the sand. He saw Jesus wave to the children swimming in the sea and watched Him help an old lady to her feet. The man wondered why Jesus was there, for He was from Nazareth. Jesus stopped and stared out to sea at a little boat on its way to shore. Only Jesus knew what He was there for. The man watched as Jesus shouted out something to a man, Peter, while he was getting off the boat. The old man did not know what Jesus had said, but he saw both of them walk off shoulder-to-shoulder, laughing and smiling. Date: 2015-02-16; view: 738
