First Priority EPIC Stories Leader GuideSample

LEADER TIPS

Have someone welcome, pray, watch the video, read the verses, lead conversation questions, and pray for your group. 

You can also lead a game or ice breaker if you would like. 

Today is all about equipping everyone to have conversations about their faith. So create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone to do that. 

Get in smaller groups of 3-5 if you need to. 

WELCOME

Welcome to First Priority. Each month we go through a four week strategy called EPIC. This month's topic is the Story of Exile. Today is Equip Week where we are having conversations about our faith.

PRAY

Invite God into the room.

WATCH

Watch the video  together.

READ

Read the Bible verses together. 

CONVERSATION QUESTIONS

1. What are some doors that have been opened for you recently?

2. Was there a time that you had a difficult choice to make?

Is there someone you can think of who is struggling right now that you could be welcoming to?

3. If you feel comfortable, share a trial or challenge happening in your life right now. Would you mind if everyone prays for you about it? 

4. As leaders, how can you look for those who feel like outcasts and invite them to join you for a meal or coffee?

PRAY OUT

Ask if anyone has prayer requests and then pray for the group.
