How to Use this Study Guide in a Group

This is an interactive study guide. It can be read with profit either alone or as part of a group Bible study. Below are suggestions for the use of this book in a group.

What You Will Need for Every Session

• This study guide

• A Bible

• A notebook

• Before Session 1, members of the group are encouraged to read the Introduction and Session 1 and to complete all the exercises in both. They should bring this study guide with them to the group session.

• Begin the session with prayer.

• Invite one person in the group to read one of the Scripture passages included in this session’s material.

• Allow five minutes of silent reflection on the passage. This allows the group’s members to quiet their inner thoughts and to center themselves on the lesson to be discussed.

• Catechesis: Give all members a chance to share some point that they have learned about salvation. Was this something new or a new insight into something? Was there anything that raised a question? (Allow fifteen to twenty minutes for this.)

• Discussion: Use the discussion questions at the end of the session chapter to begin a deeper grasp of the material covered in the session. (Allow fifteen to twenty minutes for this.)

• Conclusion: Have all members of the group summarize the key concepts they learned about salvation in the session. Assign the next session as homework, to be completed before the next group session.
