Passage: Matthew 3:13-17
Scripture memory Matthew 3:17
Tell the Story Tell the story: as best as you can, do not stop and teach, try not to make points (Commentary), just tell the story.
Rebuild the Story As a group: chronologically rebuild the story from memory. Ask questions if necessary. Like – “What happened first?”, “ What happened next?”, “Did we leave out anything?” Finally, have participants look at their Bibles and see if anything was added or left out of the story as they go through it one more time.
Ask Questions
General questions to ask after each story. These questions may lead to follow up questions that you ask as you dig deeper into the groups/individuals response to the initial questions.

2. What do we learn about Jesus/God in this story?
3. What is Jesus teaching his disciples in this story?
4. What is Jesus teaching you personally through this story?
5. What application/adjustment do you need to make in your life due to the truth discovered in this story?
