How to work through this worksheet

Choose a single bounded Bible passage, not a string of isolated quotations. Plan for quiet participants as well as confident speakers. Establish privacy expectations, allow disagreement and invite a useful action that does not depend on public disclosure of personal pain.

Read Scripture in context

Open the surrounding chapter and compare the passage's context. Scripture links open in a new tab so your worksheet remains available.

Work through the questions

1. Purpose and participants

What should the group understand? Include access needs and ages, without names.

2. Opening and welcome (0–5 minutes)

How will you explain respect, voluntary participation and confidentiality limits?

3. Read the passage (5–15 minutes)

Text reference, surrounding chapter and one first-impression question.

4. Observe before interpreting (15–25 minutes)

What happened? Who is speaking? Which statements are explicit?

5. Open discussion (25–35 minutes)

Three non-leading questions and an invitation to disagree thoughtfully.

6. Realistic application (35–42 minutes)

What could someone choose to do without being coerced?

7. Closing and prayer (42–45 minutes)

Optional prayer, practical support, and the next session's reading.

8. Materials, access and safeguarding

Permissions for copied material, age-appropriate supervision and accessible alternatives.

Practical review exercise

Run the lesson with a competent observer and revise the questions based on what participants actually understood.
