Leader Prep (Before the Session)

Main Idea

The Bible is not a collection of scattered stories but one grand narrative — God’s loving plan to redeem people from every nation for His glory.

Leader Script (Intros & Transitions)

Opening: “Welcome to Week 2. As we begin, let’s silence distractions and set our hearts on Jesus. Think about the story you’re living in — and ask, ‘How does my story fit into God’s story?’”

Transition to Video 2.1: “This video introduces the red thread of mission throughout Scripture. Pay attention to how God’s plan runs from Genesis to Revelation.”

Transition to UPG Prayer: “This week we’re interceding for the Kumhar people of India. Let’s hear their story and then pray together.”

Closing Prompt: “Let’s write down one ‘I WILL’ step that helps us welcome the nations God has brought near.”

Group Dynamics Tips

Keep focus on story: If participants wander into side theology debates, bring it back with: “How does this tie into God’s bigger narrative?”

Encourage imagination: Ask, “If your life were one chapter in God’s story, what would the chapter title be?”
