Discovery Questions

Discovery Questions will help guide your discussion through a passage of Scripture.  They allow everyone in the group to participate.  Furthermore, they help set a relational dynamic for your group, removing the need for one person to teach while others sit and listen.  Feel free to write your own!  (These were written by John DeVries and Carol Davis.)
