Make Disciples (2 mins.) FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE. Offer a Bible course (lmd lesson 10 point 3).
Setting: During a visit to someone who had previously expressed interest, the publisher refers back to a previously mentioned Bible text about the love a husband should show his wife and the respect a wife should show her husband. The publisher offers a Bible study and arranges to meet the person's preferred time and place to begin the study.
Publisher: Hi, I'm glad to see you again.
Assistant: I'm happy to see her too.
Publisher: How have you been since we last spoke?
Assistant: I'm fine thanks.
Publisher: I've been thinking a lot about what we talked about last time regarding the role of the wife in marriage.
Assistant: The truth is, I've also thought a lot about that topic and I want to better understand what the Bible says about it. You read me a Bible verse that day that I found very interesting.
Publisher: Let's review that text. It's Ephesians 5:33. “However, each one of you must love his wife as he loves himself. In turn, the wife must have deep respect for her husband.”
You know, I'd like to offer you a Bible course. It would help you better understand what the Bible says about marriage and your relationship with your husband. What do you think?
Assistant: Yes, I would love to, but I could do it on a more relaxed schedule. My schedule at home is rather complicated, and I don't want it to be a burden on my husband.
Publisher: Of course. How about we meet in the park? It's a quiet place and we can talk without interruptions.
Assistant: That sounds perfect.
Publisher: What time suits you?
Assistant: At 5 pm; we could meet on Thursday.
Publisher: That sounds good to me. Then, Thursday at 5 p.m. in the park.
Assistant: Perfect. Thank you for your flexibility and for being willing to adapt to my schedule.
Publisher: You're welcome. I'll be there on Thursday.
