Seven Tips from Twitter on Facilitating a Group or Class
By Michael C. Mack
Michael C. Mack (@michaelcmack) tweets “Small Group Leader TIPS of the Day” every weekday. Here are seven tips on facilitating a great group meeting:
“¢Â Don”™t be the small group answer man or woman. Let group members experience aha moments.
“¢Â Become comfortable answering questions with, “I don”™t know, but let”™s all find out this week.”
“¢Â As you study God”™s Word together, “remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”
“¢Â Try different approaches to Bible study (e.g., read various “I will” statements of God and discuss/apply).
“¢Â Try this: Study a “one another” passage from the New Testament each week and find specific ways of doing each one.
“¢Â Tell group members to find a Bible verse on a topic (i.e., leadership) and come to the next meeting ready to discuss it.
“¢Â Ask, what can we learn/apply as a GROUP from this Bible passage?
