Michael C. Mack (@michaelcmack) tweets “Small Group Leader TIPS of the Day” every weekday. Here are seven tips on facilitating a great group meeting:

10_BP_MM“¢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?

The Power of Repetition

by

One of the most significant things I learned over the course of more than four decades of preaching in the local church is people don’t need to be taught something new as much as they need to be reminded of what they already know.

The fear of the Lord leads to a life of holiness and obedience, while the comfort of the Holy Spirit brings peace and strength amid trials. These two spiritual qualities enable us to be all God wants us to be as we seek to live out Jesus’ mission.
