Coaching Points For Group Leaders (Week 8): The Foundation: Spirit-Filled Life
Looking Back (20 Minutes).
- Accountability: Love Does
- Did you take the LoveDoes challenge that had two parts:
- What is one thing you did this past week to more habitually repent and in faith turn to Christ and walk in gospel joy
- Did you take the LoveDoes challenge that had two parts:
- Connecting Relationally
- These questions are optional based on how much time you have and/or how much time you want to spend on the Looking Up section.
- If you know that a group member is going through a major life event, then feel free to ask them about it.
- Otherwise, on occasion, you may want to also ask the group, “What is one thing you are celebrating that happened last week or one place you saw God show up?”
Looking Up (20 Minutes)
- Suggestion: Read the Key Text out loud. This is a time to get people into the Bible and it is good to open up the word and read it every week.
- Discuss selected questions from the Spirit-filled Life Training Session

-
- Commit to making one part of your commute to work worship by playing/singing worship songs that resonate with you. No phone calls, no talk radio–just worship music (prayer is allowed!). If you work from home, then set aside the first 15 minutes of your day to connect with God through worship, prayer, and letting God speak to you through His word.
