How to lead a small group bible talk

What bible talk is not: a sermon or preaching. It is not a time for extensive teaching either.

Bible talk should be a little bible and a lot of talk. Must have thought provoking questions that get the group to talk and ponder rather than just making points.

Any points should be posed in the form of a question.

Always open with introducing yourself and a question. Ice breaker. Questions to start conversation.

Always ask someone to read. Use that time to gather your thoughts and prepare for your next question/points.

Compare and contrast so that the lesson is relatable to each person.

Opening question and bible talk example: Who is the worst villain of all time? Darth Vader? Hitler?

Who is the worst villain in the bible. Judas? No one names their child Judas today. Judas was so bad that he ruined the name judas for ever.

Why was judas such a villain?

John 12:1-6

Judas was fake. What if judas had said I want to save the money so I can steal it? The other disciples would have offered help. Judas would have gotten help with his greed.

Aren't we fake as well? We
Are no different than Judas sometimes. What keeps us from getting the help we need?

Luke 22

Why else was Judas such a villain? Judas was a bad deal maker.

Have you ever made a bad deal. A deal that you lost money and regretted.

Judas made the worst deal in history. He sold Jesus for a few small pieces of silver.

How many times have you sold yourself to sin for something that has no value. Example: 20yrs of marriage for adultery in a one night stand.

We are bad deal makers just like Judas, aren't we. We sell out to sin and sacrifice our salvation.

Sin is always a bad deal in the end isn't it? What other examples can you think of where sin looks rewarding but leaves you spiritually bankrupt?

How can Jesus help us not be fake or make bad deals like Judas?

Always close with a challenge and call to study the bible and learn more.
