Table purpose statement (Share at the start or before the Discovery section):

This group exists for the purpose of discipleship. A disciple is someone who loves and obeys Jesus. (John 14:15) That means our focus is hearing from God and taking steps of faith. Our goal is to multiply another healthy Table. One day, some of you will lead a group like this! 

‍

Table Talk (⅓ of meeting)

• Icebreaker: What’s your favorite travel snack? 
• What are you thankful for? What’s stressing you out? 
• What word would you use to describe your faith journey right now? Why? 
• Worship God through song. Recommended: Who Else? By Gateway 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) 

Scripture Context: Jesus is approaching Jerusalem, which will set off the chain of events that lead to his crucifixion.

Read Luke 9:57-62

• What do you like about this passage? What do you find challenging? 
• According to this passage, what does Jesus want from His followers? 
• What things give you a sense of security? How do they distract you from following Jesus?  
• Jesus isn’t telling us to give up our responsibilities but that putting him first comes with a cost. How is obedience to Jesus costly for you? 

‍

Go do it. (⅓ of meeting)

• Jesus expects every disciple to courageously follow wherever he leads. Where do you need courage to follow Jesus today?
