Before you teach through each session, ask yourself:
Have I:
- Reviewed the material sufficiently so that I can teach it confidently?
- Reflected on what God is teaching me personally in this area?
- Prayed for God’s wisdom regarding what I will teach and asked Him for insight into my students’ lives?
- Identified my small group’s leadership strengths and areas still needing to be addressed?
- Anticipated any new developments or outcomes that might occur as a result of this lesson?
Am I:
- Enthusiastic about what I am about to teach?
- Committed to being as open and honest as I want/expect my students to be?
- Ready to challenge my students out of their comfort zones to reach the next level?
- Clear about where I want to lead the group and how this session will help us get
there?
Are my students:
- Learning what I want them to learn? Are they “getting” it?
- In the best setting/environment to learn? (Is the room set up? Is it adequate? Do
they have the resources they need – pens, paper, etc.?)
- Growing in the areas of unity and trust regarding the team?
- Confused about anything from a prior session that I need to address?
- Excited about becoming all that God wants them to be?
