Good afternoon!
We are so excited to jump into "Marks of a Disciple" this week as we will be looking at session 1: A Repentant Life. Our hope is that this 6 week study will be fruitful in our desire and mission to make disciples in our City Groups.
Below are a few answers to questions I've gotten about going through this study:
Does every City Group attendee need a copy of the book?
- No, while it is not required to have the book for this study it may be beneficial for personal growth. Copies of the book are available on Amazon or Lifeway.com
Will we be watching the videos that are included in the study?
- Yes! We have created a playlist on youtube where you can find each sessions video. Here is the link:

How are we supposed to teach each chapter?
- Part of the beauty of going through this book together is the autonomy that each leader will have in how they want to walk through each session with their City Group. While there is not one specific way to teach each session I will be making a weekly template or suggestion on which questions to use.
If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out! And if you haven't picked up your copy of the book, they are in the care room!
Session 1: A Repentant Life
- Ask both questions on page 10, pray, then watch video.
- Read Romans 2:4, ask questions 1,2,3,6 on page 12.
- Ask, "What areas of your life are you most tempted to work around God to get what you want?" and "How often is your prayer life characterized by repentance?" *From the evaluation section*
- Read Psalm 139:23-24 and ask all 3 questions on page 21.
- Homework: This week, pray and ask God to reveal areas where you need to repent and return to Him.
- End in prayer.
Hopefully this helps you, as you continue to think through this session.
Thank you for all that you do!
