Regularly preaching the gospel to yourself is a good way to stop being robbed of joy by the pressures and weeds of everyday life.  Similarly, preaching the gospel to each other is a good way to remind a group of the foundational things of “first importance.”

Prayer activity: 

Hand out paper. 

Each person has five minutes to write a summary of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Feel free to use Bible verses, hymns, catechism answers, or your own words. 

Each person preaches the gospel to the others.

Pray, especially giving thanks and praise to the author of salvation.
