For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
2 Peter 1:5-7
Here is a simple plan to teach anything in discipleship. I call it SSTT (If you can make the words into something that sounds better please give me your suggestion.)
It starts with your story, the first “S“. When you are helping someone else grow, what is your story in that area?
The second “S” is Scripture. We don’t need a lot of Scripture, just 1 or 2 key verses that help illustrate the principle.
We need a simple Tool (the first “T“), some way to start. We used 7 Minutes with God as a simple tool.
Then we need to practice it together (the last “T“)
Your Story, the Scriptures, a simple Tool then practice it Together.
We could frame any theme for growth into a simple lesson pattern of SSTT: Story and Scripture with a Tool Together. Why don’t you try that with someone today? Share how to have a devotional time with God.
For Reflection:
- Why is follow-up of another believer so important?
- Why does it take ‘every effort’?
Make Life Count:
- Write out an “SSTT” learning plan and share it with someone.
- Share your SSTT plan for feedback.
Thirsty for More?
- Write out an SSTT plan for your own growth. Share it with someone so they can help you.
Trying to keep it simple…
