Small Group Discussion Guide for May 18th

Small Group Discussion Guide for May 18th

  • Have group members read Colossians 3:16 from various translations.
  • Who is this verse written to, and what do you think it means?
  • How do we learn?
  • Discuss the difference between the position (office) of teacher (in other words, those who have a special call and gifting to be a teacher), and the idea that all of us are teachers.
  • St. Francis of Assisi said, “Preach the gospel always. If necessary, use words.” What do you think he meant by that?
  • How can all of us teach and instruct one another? NOTE TO DISCUSSION LEADER: Allow the group to come up with ways, and use the points Pastor Kevin shared at youth group to prime the group to consider additional ways we can teach one another if they do not come up from the group. The five ways PK shared were:
  1. Testimonies – Sharing our stories
  2. Example – Sharing our lives
  3. Asking Questions – Leading to discovery
  4. Caution – Sharing our concerns
  5. Having Conversations – About life & faith
  • What are a couple of practical things each of you can do this week to intentionally “teach” others (friends, younger siblings, even parents (I Timothy 4:12))?
