In this week's video-blog we model the "Head" portion of the "Head, Heart and Hands" method. "Head, Heart and Hands" is the core of the three thirds outline.
This method is very important because it teaches participants how to discover God's truth and apply to their lives. Rather than our teaching them the Bible we are teaching them to teach themselves with the help of the Holy Spirit. Our role is not to be Bible experts but to be facilitators of disciple-makers. Each week the group discovers together and then in the worship service the pastor provides exposition which should affirm, encourage and challenge as a follow up.
Secondly this method is easily reproducible. Not only do participants learn how to discover God's truth and apply it to their own lives but they also learn a method they can use in leading others. They can use this method with their family, with their workmates, with their schoolmates, with their neighbors, with an existing group they are leading or with a new group they can start.

Since this week's Bible passage consists of four parables and time may not permit discovery study of all four, I recommend you look at the first parable (the four soils) and assign the other three as a way for participants to use "head, heart and hands" in their personal devotional or with others during the week.
