Discipleship Guide: Week - Rev. Lynn Patterson

 A Discipleship Guide for Branch Groups is a practical resource designed to help group leaders and members grow in their faith together through structured Bible study, prayer, accountability, and spiritual practices. It typically includes weekly topics, discussion questions, Scripture readings, and action steps aimed at fostering deeper relationships with God and one another. The guide promotes spiritual maturity, community building, and active living out of Christian values.

Weekly Topic: “Could You Repeat That Please?”

Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:4-11

Questions for Reflection and Response:

 1.Samuel hears his name called three times before realizing it is the Lord. Why do you think God chose to call Samuel repeatedly instead of just once?

2.Eli eventually helps Samuel recognize that it is God’s voice. What does this teach us about the role of mentors or spiritual guides in our faith journey?

3.Samuel responds with, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” How might this response serve as a model for us today?

4.What outside influences help you feel closer to God?

5.How has your perception of God’s presence in your life evolved as you have grown in your faith?

Actionable Steps:

Knowing that God calls everyone, how could you help others discern their particular call? What questions might you ask? What activities might be helpful? What worship experiences might bring insight?
