Following Jesus Together is a resource supported by Ridge Christian in Broken Arrow, OK. In addition to offering a simple and free small group starter curriculum, this resource serves as a primer for local and global Disciple Making and Church Planting Movements. If you're interested in learning how to implement these principles in your church or community, we'd love to assist or connect you with others who can help. Feel free to reach out to us at go@ridgechristian.com

Split into groups of two to three and ask one another these two questions: How did you apply the lesson from last week?
What is one take away from this week’s reading homework?
Read Acts 2:36-47 and review the church circle to cast vision for a long term group.
Read about the Rhythm
Read the story (Mark 12:41-44) two times and retell the story from memory as a group.
