1 Based on what has happened with you since the last time we met, what is something you are thankful for?

2 What has stressed you out this week, and what do you need for things to be better?

3 What are the needs of the lost in your community, and how can we help each other meet the needs we’ve expressed?

4 How has God been working through your efforts to multiply prayer? Any stories of answered prayer that we can praise Him for?

5 What did we learn in our last meeting about making disciples?

6 In our last meeting, you decided to apply what you learned. What did you do, and how did it go?

7 Who did you share something with from the last story? How did they respond?

8 We identified several needs last time we met and planned to meet those needs. How did it go?

9 Now, let's read a new truth from God...

³⁷ Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” ³⁸ Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away—all who have been called by the Lord our God.” ⁴⁰ Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!” ⁴¹ Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all. ⁴² All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. ⁴³ A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. ⁴⁴ And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. ⁴⁵ They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. ⁴⁶ They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— ⁴⁷ all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

1 Now, let’s have someone retell this passage in their own words, as though they were telling a friend who has never heard it. Let's help them if they leave anything out or add anything by mistake. If that happens we can ask, "Where do you find that in the story?"

2 What does this story teach us about God, his character, and what he does?

3 What do we learn about making disciples from this story?

4 How will you apply what God has shown you from this story in your life this week? What is a specific action or thing you will do?

5 Now, let's watch today's training video...

7 Let’s discuss what we just learned and how we can apply it as we make disciples.

8 Now, let's talk about engaging the lost. Who did we have conversations with since we last met, and how can we pray for them?

9 How will we engage with these people and others, in order to have good conversations with them this week?

10 As our meeting comes to a close, let's decide when we will meet again and who will facilitate our next meeting.

11 We encourage you to make note of what you said you will do, and to re-read this story in the days before we meet again. The facilitator can share the story text or audio if anyone doesn't have it. As we go, let's ask the Lord to help us.
