DISCOVERY BIBLE STUDY
What does a meeting look like?

That is a ton of explanation for something that is really quite simple, but very deliberate. The question is, “What does it all look like when you fit it into a meeting?” Here is a simple outline with the DNA elements in parenthesis:

Ask: What are you thankful for this week? (Prayer/Worship)
Ask: What has stressed you out this week? What do you need for things to be better? (Intercession)
Ask: What are the needs of the people in your community? (Ministry)
Ask: How can we help each other with the needs we expressed? (Ministry)
Ask: What did we talk about last week? (Accountability)
Ask: Did you change anything in your life as a result of last week’s story? (Accountability/Obedience)
Ask: Did you get a chance to share the story with [the person they identified]? (Accountability/Worship)
Ask: We identified several needs last week and planned to meet those needs. How did it go? (Accountability/Worship)

Say: Let’s see what the Bible teaches us this week. Read this week’s passage. (Scripture)

Ask for someone to retell the passage in their own words. Like they were telling a friend who wasn’t there.

(Accountability/Evangelism)
Ask the Group: Do you agree with their retelling? Is there something they added or left out that they shouldn’t have? As long as the group doesn’t miss a key component of the passage, continue.
If they miss something, read the passage again. If someone states something that isn’t in the passage, ask, “Where did you find [what they said] in this passage?” Reread the passage, if necessary. (Priesthood of Believers/Group Correction)

Ask: What does this passage teach us about God? (Discovery/Scripture/Priesthood of Believers)
Ask: What does this passage teach us about humanity? (Discovery/Scripture/Priesthood of Believers)
Ask: If we believe this passage is from God, how must we change? (Discovery/Scripture/Obedience/Priesthood of Believers)
Ask: Who are you going to share this passage with before we meet again? (Evangelism/Replication)
Ask: When do you want to meet again? This is a practical question. You will never get someone to commit to a 26 week study. But, you can give them the option to meet again next week.

If they are really seeking and if the meeting is filling a need, they will tell you they want to meet again. GOD BLESS!
