This is The End :: The Return

• Use the lead app to check in students and make sure any students not listed fill out a connect card digitally.

• Do not move on until check-in has happened and any students not listed have filled out a connect card.

• Remind them they can ask us anything by texting AMA to 678-798-8338 or by dropping a card in the lobby AMA Box.

• First things first. Go Over Small Group Expectations with your group. There is a paper copy in your bucket but you can also find it on the app.

• Start by having a student read Revelation 20.

• Questions to get conversation going:

  • What’s does it means that you either are born twice and die once or that you are born once and die twice?

  • When you think about the second coming of Christ, how does it make you feel? Why do you feel this way?

  • Knowing that Christ could return at any time, what’s one important thing you’ve been putting off doing tomorrow that you need to do today?

  • What types of thoughts and feelings do you have when you think about the rapture?

  • What do you think it will be like to be with God forever?

• Next Step

  • What’s one thing you will do this week as a result of something you learned from this message?

• Things you can Read

  • Have a student read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

  • Have a student read Matthew 24:39-44

  • Have a student read 1 Corinthians 15:51-58

  Finish by praying as a group.

We will know we have hit our target if:

-Students are aware of and accountable to the Small Group Expectations.

-There is a genuine understanding of the idea that you either are a follower who spends eternity with God or you are not.

-The students leave with a simple next step to either encourage one another or proclaim the Gospel.

-Everyone that is here is either already listedn in your group or has filled out a connect card before leaving.
