    W, and P, and ideally lasts from forty to

    sixty minutes.

    ConneCt (5-10 mts)

    Victory group meetings begin with a time to relate with

    one another. Depending on the people who comprise

    the group, this can be done through a variety of ways:

    Fusuch as a cebreaker actvt

    Teach the truth and relevance of Gods Word for life application. The

    Vctr grup eetg s t prarl a Bble stud. Althugh teachg

    and explanation of Scripture is involved, the goal is to minister, not

    sh a ateral.

    There is no need teach all the points in a material.

    Wth ths sect, we lk at what the Bble sas, ts relevace t us

    today, and its application in our lives.

    Wh: What does the Bible say?

    Communicate and impart biblical truth clearly and concisely

    16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking,

    correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God

    may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.2 TimoTHy 3:16,17

    Tips for Sharing the Word Eectively

    S Wh: What is the relevance of the Word to my life?

    Give participants the opportunity to discuss how the Word impacts

    the way they live.

    Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but betransformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test

    and approve what Gods will ishis good, pleasing and perfect will.

    begin to discover who they are and what they should do.

    If it is a promise, teach them to claim it. If it is a command or a

    principle, encourage them to put it to action by Gods grace. If it is a

    truth, let them embrace it willingly and not under compulsion. Allow

    Gods grace and love to win them by the way

    you teach Gods Word.

    Ecurage specc, easurable act steps that are csstetwith the life change that the Scripture is bringing about. We do not

    command people, but we spur them on toward love and good deeds.

    ma tes, we thk Gd l lves us whe we are

    properly performing our religious duties. We assume

    that the more religious we act, the more God loves us.

    The Bble teaches just the ppste. Gds greatest

    demonstration of love was not in response to ourrghteusess. Rather t was respse

    to our rebellion.

    Gs v s g.How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that

    we should be called children of God! And that is what

    we are!1 JoHn 3:1

    Tragically, many have grown up in families where one

    chld was shw re lve tha the thers. The t-s-

    favred chld a have felt se degree f lvejust

    Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or

    convinced that neither death nor life, neither angelsnor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any

    For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God9not by
