Jesus wasn’t just a preacher. He was also a small-group leader. He knew the power of a good question. And he knew how to get people talking.
Preaching is important. But the reason we have small groups is so we can learn and apply the Bible together. That’s impossible without discussion. And the key to good discussion is preparing good questions.
Preparing the right questions before you start the meeting can give you assurance that the discussion will be lively and dynamic. Closed questions have only one correct answer. When a leader uses too many of them, he positions himself as a Bible expert who’s trying to discover the brightest, most biblically literate students.
