Confession/Breaking Strongholds experience
During this experience, be open with your group by leading the way by confessing a stronghold in your life. After, leading by example, ask others to share. Once they share, simply say a brief prayer for them and read the corresponding Freedom found in God's Word.
Weeks 5: God is Love
As part of your time this week, learn different ways to explain the Gospel. Have your group select one of the tools. Then, practice taking turns sharing the Gospel with each other. Practice in a friendly environment so we are ready when the time comes to share the reason for the hope within us. The buttons below show pdf images of the tools. I have business card versions in my office if you would like some.

Service Project Experience
When asked what is the greatest commandment, a summary of Jesus' answer was... 1. Love God 2. Love People. The greatest way to worship, serve and love God is to serve people. As we submit to Jesus as Lord and King and teaching the spiritual discipline of service, this would be a great time to get your group organized to do a service project. See the pdf below for a list of service project ideas OR come up with something unique to your group.
