This Life Guide is designed for use in conjunction with the Generation One music CD (www.profilesproject.com) in either group or individual study. In group settings, the Life Guide lends itself favorably to a small group ministry of a church, as well as a sermon series a pastor might devote to the lives of the apostles.
If the Life Guide is used in a small group setting, it will become apparent that the material on each disciple is perhaps more than can be covered in one meeting, so the group leader may want to select what he or she thinks are the most relevant and appropriate questions for the group's discussion.
Similarly, if a pastor chooses to preach a series on the lives of the apostles, although he will want to do his own Biblical studies, he will find a wealth of information in the Life Guide biographical sections on each of the apostles. Again, for the needs and interests of his church, he may choose to tailor his messages to cover key aspects of a disciple's life as it best fits the needs and interests of his church.
For each of the disciples in the Life Guide, a biography of each disciple is given, followed by discussion questions (Discussion) which seeks to address different Biblical themes taken from each of the disciple's lives. These questions are then followed by quotes (Expressions) from various authors in the Christian tradition that generally relate to the themes previously addressed in the discussion questions. Following the quotes, several Scriptural passages are provided (Meditations) for further reflection on each disciple. Each study then closes with an opportunity to prayerfully reflect (Reflections) on certain attributes exhibited by that apostle, in terms of gratitude, mindset, and a personal aspiration.
