As you begin to guide your Bible study group through your next session, tell your group members that at the end of the Bible study you’ll ask them to think of one word that summarizes the main idea presented during the Bible study. Allow group members to explain the reason they chose the one word they did.

This kind of exercise will create active listening on the part of your group members as they listen carefully for the main points, then boil them down to a single word that best represents the lesson they just experienced.
