DISCOVER GOD

Gather around the Bible. Ask simple questions. Discover who God is. Decide how you will respond.

DBS PROCESS

Discovery Bible Study

1

GATHER

Gather your family and friends to discover what the Bible says about God.

2

FACILITATE

Facilitate the conversation by asking the seven DBS questions.

3

OBEY

Write down each person’s “I Will” statement and review it together each week.

THE 7 DBS QUESTIONS

Keep it simple. Let the group discover truth from Scripture rather than depending on one person to teach.

1. What are you thankful for today?

2. What are you stressed about or struggling with?

3. Is there anything this group can do to help with those challenges or stresses, or is there any other need we can meet together?

READ & RETELL
Have two people read the passage. Then have everyone restate it in their own words, letting the group help one another get it right.

4. What does this passage teach us about God (Father & Son)?

5. What does this passage teach us about people?

6. What should you do this week in response to this passage? Create an “I Will” statement.

7. Who should you share with this week?
