Session three: Teaching
Christ the Living Word
God transforms us as we continually encounter Christ through His Word
Small group discussion
Tell us about your notes/reflections on the Scriptures discussed.
What role has Scripture played in your faith journey so far?
What challenges do you face when trying to read the Bible consistently?
Can you think of a time when God used Scripture to change your thinking or behaviour?
Why is obedience just as important as understanding when reading God’s Word?
What is one practical step you could take to spend more time in Scripture this fortnight?
Before our next session
Take some time to work through the following activities individually or with your small group:
Select a passage as a group, and complete the SOAP Journal on page 8.
Message your Small Group during the week about one encouragement that you received from a devotional or Bible reading.
Download the YouVersion Bible App and add your Small Group as ‘friends’ or add GVCF as your Church (through the Discover ⟶ Churches function)
Have a conversation with your family/household about how they are currently engaging with the Word and what you could do together.
