The LTG Meeting Guide
CONFESS SIN IN MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY
As followers of Christ we are to consider how to spur one another on toward love and good deeds (Heb 10:24). Part of doing that consists of confessing sin to one another and praying for one another (James 5:16). The first task of an LTG is to ask each other the “Character Conversation Questions” listed on the LIFE TRANSFORMATION BOOKMARK. Start every meeting with this!
SHARE WHAT GOD IS TEACHING YOU AND HOW YOU ARE OBEYING HIS VOICE FROM THE SCRIPTURE YOU READ THIS WEEK.
The Word of God is alive and active and full of power (Heb 4:12). Jesus also made it clear that the Word of God is the seed of new life (Mat 13:18-23). We will experience great disappointment if we expect to reap the harvest of life change without first planting the seed of God's Word.
The group decides together where they will be reading from the Scriptures. Suggestions for where to begin and how to get the most from your reading can be found at Where to Start Reading God's Word.
If someone didn't complete the reading this week, then everyone does the reading again the next week. This is not bad, as reading entire books repetitively yields rich rewards! Once everyone completes the reading the same week, choose the next reading together.
PRAY FOR THE LOST STRATEGICALLY, SPECIFICALLY, AND REGULARLY
Each member of the LTG identifies two or three lost people they have a relationship with. Everyone in the group may then record the names of these people in the "Strategic Prayer" section of the LIFE TRANSFORMATION BOOKMARK. The guide is meant to foster persistent and Biblical prayer. Take opportunities to share what you’re learning with unbelievers. Those who begin to seek Christ then become perfect candidates for the next LTG, and multiplication occurs naturally and spontaneously.
