Theme:
Doers of the word
Title:
Walking as doers of the word
Desired Outcomes:
The aim of this uGroup is to get your members to step out into a place where they start changing their ways to not just hear the word of God but to live the word of God
Core Scriptures:
- James 1:22-26
- Matthew 9:37-38
Welcome:
Any fun and welcoming Icebreaker that gets the members moving, on their feet, where all the members can participate in. If there are new members be careful not to create a space where they feel exposed or uncomfortable.
Word:
Introduce the message by asking the group the following:
- When you look in the mirror what do you see?
- It is possible that they will be uncomfortable with this question so make it easier by asking if they are happy with what they see or not?
- Once they answered the question ask them if there is anything that they would like to change about themselves or are they unhappy with how they look and just forget about it when they don’t see themselves in the mirror anymore?
Use James 1:22-24 to help them understand where you are going with the questions.
Discussion points:
- How can one deceive oneself by only being a hearer of the word? - James 1:23
- How do I then show people what the word taught me?
Unite Way
Spirit and power
1 Corinthians 2:4

What happens when I become a doer of the word?
- 2 Corinthians 3:18
- John 15
The word is there to change me, to become like Paul states in Ephesians 5:1 an imitator of Christ.
