Leader Prep

THEME
Make Room for God’s Transforming Work
 
SCRIPTURE
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 
                                                
Galatians 5:22
 
And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.                                                   1 Corinthians 13:13
 
Come to Jesus, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God's sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.                      
​                                                       1 Peter 2:4
 
GOAL OF MENTOR MINISTRY WK5
To encourage students to be reminded of God’s work in their lives through the Spirit. The use of a prayer stone will help youth remember to lean into where God is prodding them to show God’s love to others.
 
THINK ABOUT THIS
The image of a stone or rock is used often in the Bible as a sturdy place to build a foundation or is used in the foundation. Where have you built your foundation? The scriptures this week remind us of the work of the Spirit in our own lives. Where do you see these “fruits” in your life and how are they impacting how and what you prayer for?

Discussion Guide

This guide is a suggestion, not a formula. Adjust the questions as needed, and don’t feel like you need to do, or ask, everything you see here.
Picture
Share a high and a low this week. You could also share how the mentor ministry experience has been for you and your mentee. 

Picture
Read the Bible Verses to the left. Pick out a word or phrase that stands out to you as you read.

Picture
Use the questions below to guide your discussion about the scripture and topic for tonight. Feel free to skip or adjust questions to your discussion.
  1. Where have you seen something transformed? (ie building, school, house, road, change of seasons)
  2. Take a look at the fruits of the Spirit in the Galatians Bible passage. Pick one and describe what it looks like in your life.
  3. Why do you suppose Paul picked Love as “the greatest of these…”? Which would you choose as the greatest?
  4. Head out to the Narthex and write the word you chose from the scriptures. Explain why you picked this word.

Picture
Pray together, using the prayer practice with a stone. Create a prayer phrase by combining the word on your stone and your favorite name for God. Using your highs and lows, pray for each other, ending each petition with your prayer phrase, repeating it each time.

Picture
Use this blessing to bless one another, marking each other with a cross, either on your hands or forehead.
“(Name), you are a child of God.”
