განდიდება
Read a scripture and practice a worship song.


 * Read Matthew 10:28-30 and sing songs.


 * (optional) Use a Statement of Faith about Jesus, like Philippians 2:11b; 1 Timothy 2:4-6a

Care
Minister to one another’s needs in prayer, biblical counsel and encouragement.


 * Ask each person to tell one highlight and explain one challenge they experienced this week.


 * Ask, “What do you want Jesus to do for you this week?” Pray for each other’s needs.

Celebrate Faithfulness
Encourage loving accountability to obey Jesus


 * Ask, “What happened as you trusted God with your goals and I will statements?”

Motivation and Encouragement
Cast vision for who they can become in Christ or what God can do through them.

Example: Read Hebrews 10:19-25. The Lord did not call us to be alone. He called us to be together. We face many challenges and we need encouragement and accountability to obey the Lord. Following Jesus is best done in community. We need each other so let’s not quit meeting together!



Context
God gave the Jews a special celebration called the Passover to remember how He delivered them from slavery in Egypt. The night before Jesus died on the cross, He celebrated the Passover with His disciples and explained how the Passover pointed to Him.

Read

 * Read or watch Luke 22:14-20 2-3 times as others listen.

Discovery Discussion

 * Everyone tells what caught their attention (or what they like best) and why.


 * Why do you think this story is important?


 * How can we live differently now that we know this story (passage)?

Tell and Correct

 * Practice the story by having someone tell the story and ask the group to correct if necessary.

Summary
Jesus modeled to His followers a way to remember His sacrificial death on the cross. [Take a piece of bread] The bread represents His body that was broken for us. [Show them wine or juice] The drink represents His blood that was shed for us and opened a new way to relate to God. He also commanded them to keep practicing it.

In 1 Corinthians 11:23-30, we see that as Paul started new churches, he taught all new believers how to obey Jesus’ command.



Preparing for the Mission
