EQUIPPING YOUR MEN’S SMALL GROUP Suggested Applications Steps July 1–9 These devotions focus on faithfulness and trust. SAS: Think of someone you would describe as “faithful.” Come next week prepared to share three things you’ve seen in that person that support your description. How can you emulate that person’s example? July 10–16 This week you will define discipleship. SAS: Read aloud the devotional titled “One Cup of Coffee Can Change the World” on page 21. Give an example of someone who touched your life through informal conversation. What would it look like if you invited someone to go out for a potentially life-changing cup of coffee? Who will you ask? From last week, tell us the three things about that supportive person. July 17–23 The devotions from this week talk about the gift of Jesus’ presence and attention in our hearts and lives. SAS: If that gift is precious to you, is there someone you know who needs to know about that gift. In this next week, commit to talking to someone in your life about the gift that God has given you. July 24–30 You will learn what it means to serve rather than be served throughout this week’s devotions. SAS: Has your group served the church or community in a tangible way (service project, dinner, outreach, etc.)? Discuss and decide on a way for the group to serve. Plan a game day, hand out a free cookie on Sunday morning, plan a breakfast for the women, or something else. July 31–August 6 This week highlights principles related to building intentional spiritual friendships. SAS: Come prepared to describe a time when another man served you, gave you something you didn’t expect, or prayed for you. How did that impact your life? How can you apply that experience to how you reach out to others? 12
