Week 12
Bible Reading
Daily readings from the last week:
Acts 12-18
Reflect
What stood out to you from your daily readings over the last week? Any questions?
How did you go with what you said you’d do last week?
Discuss
Have someone read the passage and use the SOAP method to explore the text:
S - Scripture (read scripture together)
O - Observe (what do we see? What does it make us think?)
A - Apply (what does this mean for my life?)
P - Pray (pray together)
Don’t Miss
Kingdom: A kingdom is a place where a king rules. The Kingdom of God is therefore where God rules. We know that when Jesus died on the cross and rose again, that he defeated sin, death and the enemy, but the Kingdom of God will not fully come until Jesus returns to rule and reign. These parables that Jesus taught are explaining the emerging nature of the Kingdom of God.
Learn
As followers of Jesus, we have the best news! That God so loved people that sent his one and only Son to die in our place and that in his death and resurrection, we are forgiven, washed clean and given a brand new life. It’s news that needs to be shared and God wants to use each of us to share this message. There are many ways that you can do this, one of the ways is based around three circles. Have a watch of the video and then practice sharing it together. It might seem like a lot of information at the start but with a bit of practice, it will become very familiar.
