13 August 7–13 In reading these devotionals, your group will be introduced to the wide-to-deep continuum. SAS: Describe this concept in your own words. Discuss together some ways to effectively determine where a person is on that continuum. August 14-20 This week will prepare your group to deal with difficult people or unresolved issues in a positive, godly way. SAS: Ask each man to consider a person or issue that is difficult for them. With Jesus as your example, would you continue handling it/them in the same way. List some ways to positively handle the person or situation, August 21–27 From reading this week’s devotion, you will come to a better understanding of God’s plan for you. SAS: Ask each man in the group to share an event or project that will take some planning. Ask everyone if they asked God for help in that planning. In pairs, pray together for those plans that each member is making for an event or project. August 28–September 3 This week, we read about Zaccheus and how Jesus was willing to meet him on his own turf in order to reach him. SAS: In the weekly questions, you named a “Zaccheus” in your own life. Try one of the possibilities discussed to reach him and come back next week ready to share how that attempt to reach him went for you. September 4–10 We all have a choice to live our lives dependent on God or live independent from Him. SAS: On a large white board or piece of paper, draw a scale with “dependent” on one end and “independent” at the other. Ask the guys to make a mark where they think they fit on the scale. Discuss why those choices are easy or hard. September 11–17 This week your group will be challenged to prepare a three-minute testimony. SAS: Spend some time doing that, based on the guidelines described in the devotional. Come prepared next week to share your testimony with the group. September 18–24 Prayerfully consider your reputation at work or in a social group to which you belong. SAS: Does your reputation attract or repel people? How does it affect your ability to share your faith among people in those environments? Pray together for God to help you enhance your reputations and use them for His glory. September 25–30 Describe a time when prayer has impacted your life. SAS: The discipline of prayer is essential to your journey of faith. Would you be willing to pray daily for each member of this group? Spend a few minutes sharing prayer requests that members can commit to praying for.
