Table Group Guide

Encounter Retreat is coming March 6-7. Have a member of your group who has attended share about their experience, and encourage others to go. Table.org/Encounter

‍

Table Talk (⅓ of meeting)   

• What’s your favorite thing about your home? 
• Briefly share a high and/or low from your week. 
• Share a way you’ve been taking steps of faith this week. 
• Spend time worshipping through song. Recommended: King of Kings by Hillsong Worship. 

Discussion Guidelines  

1. Everyone shares in sentences, not paragraphs.  
2. Focus only on what this passage is saying. (This keeps everyone on the same page)  
3. Share from your perspective – we won’t argue or give advice.  
4. Give everyone time to respond. Silence is OK.  
5. The facilitator will facilitate discussion, not teach.  

‍

Discover what God is saying to you. (⅓ of meeting) 

Big idea: You don’t need to feel healed to walk like someone who is being healed. God often says, “Go,” before He says, “Be healed.”

‍

Read Luke 17:11-19

• Have someone retell the story in their own words, then read it again to see what you notice. 
• What stands out to you?
• What do you learn about Jesus from this passage? 
• How was the experience of the Samaritan leper different from the other nine? 
• Where do you see yourself in this passage? 
• How hard is it for you to act on God’s prompting even before you see evidence that it will “work”?

‍

Go do it. (⅓ of meeting) 

• What has God been prompting you to do? What’s getting in your way? (Ex: share your faith, volunteer to serve, take a leap of faith, reach out to someone in need, etc.) 
• Based on our discussion, what step are you going to take this week? 
• Write down your “I will…” statement and share it. 
• Pray for the empty chair. Pray over an empty chair in the circle, that God would use us to invite someone who needs to be here.
