What happens in an LTG?
Some of the same things that happen in our
corporate worship gathering...
Sin is confessed to one another
Christians are expected to engage each other for
the purpose of caring for each other, and to do
spiritually good things for each other.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray
for one another, so that you may be healed. The
intense prayer of the righteous is very powerful.
James 5:16
Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of
you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the
living God. But encourage each other daily, while it is
still called today, so that none of you is hardened by
sin’s deception. For we have become companions of
the Messiah if we hold firmly until the end the reality
that we had at the start.
Hebrews 3:12-14 people can be used as a bookmark for your
That week’s Bible reading is
discussed
Each group decides on a book of the Bible, or a
section of a larger book to be read during the
week. Pick a section that is not too large to be
read 4-5 times throughout the week.
When the group meets, they will discuss the
reading. If one member of the group does not do
the reading one week, that’s OK. Read it again
the next week. Repetitive reading of God’s word
in community with other believers in not a bad
thing.
Talk openly and honestly about what God is
saying to you through His Word. Be honest
about passages that trouble you. Don’t think that
expressing difficulty = lack of faith. Your partner
may, and probably will, have insight that helps
you understand God’s word better.
Lost people are prayed for
Each person selects 2-3 non-Christian friends,
relatives, neighbors, or co-workers, and the
group covenants to pray for the salvation of
those 4-6 people.
The list of scriptures to aid in prayer for these
weekly reading, so that you will remember to
pray each of the 4-5 times you read during the
week.
Each week, the group should close by praying
for each other, and then praying for the people
on this list.

hold each other accountable. These are here to
