Rooted Week 6

Below you’ll find some quick training tips for your upcoming SERVE Experience, as well as this week’s Training Video and other insights to help us stay on the same page.

Please take a few short minutes to watch the Week 6 Training Video and be sure to review your Facilitator Guide for tips on how to lead a Serve Experience.

Story Sharing

Be sure to give space and opportunity to let 1-2 group members share their faith story. If you haven’t yet, lead the way to show your group that, though not always comfortable, it’s important to see that your have a spiritual story to share. Remind the group that everyone should be prepared to share & pray in the final 4 weeks together.

Pray for Strongholds

Continue praying for your group members’ strongholds as they either reflect on (or recently completed) the homework for Week 5 (Strongholds).

If possible, review why confidentiality and accountability are important.

Serve Experience

We realize that face-to-face service projects are likely to be difficult, we have relational serving options to help those who may have needs we can share with you.  

  • Make sure to get something on the books for your experience between or around weeks 6 & 7.

  • Try to prioritize something that’s relational with those you’re serving. It’s not a must, but it’s highly preferred.

Note:

The next 2 weeks are so, so important. The previous 5 weeks’ focus on Jesus’ story and power in spiritually impacting us and our world, generally. Now, it’s time to get specific about how we partner with Him in our individual lives. Followers of Jesus should imitate Him, living out of a posture of service in their homes, workplaces, churches, and community at large. In every sphere of our lives we’re trying to align ourselves with Jesus’ mission of restoration, renewal, and redemption.

These weeks especially focus on truly letting Jesus become the authority figure in every area of our lives.  

Our Individual Purpose

This discussion is meant to start a conversation surrounding an individual’s purpose. We can be really narrow-minded sometimes about our role in the world. Day 5 of Week 6 will hopefully help begin a journey of discovering the way God has uniquely wired an individual to partner with Him in bringing peace.

The most important idea that most Christians need to understand in these weeks is that their daily tasks, even in their job, should be aligned with God’s mission. Do your best to help your group begin to see how their daily tasks reflect God’s mission and values.

Lastly, please let me know if you need any additional supplies or support. I have been, and will continue to, be praying for your group!
