The Big Takeaway
Spend a few minutes in silence. Trust that God is near and desires to meet with you. Ask God what He wants you to know or do from this week’s study. Write down the thoughts God brings to your mind. Share this with the group and pray for each other.

Scripture Memory
One way to keep Jesus at the center of your life is to plant the words of Scripture in your mind. Repeat this verse to remember that God has come to us through His Son Jesus.

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)
