10 min: Ideas for Offering Jesus—Where He Came From, How He Lived, Why He Died—On DVD in March. Discussion. Invite comments on the following questions: During the weekends that we are distributing the invitation, what factors will determine whether you will also offer the DVD? What could you say to make the transition from the invitation to the DVD? Although the sample presentation includes a question and a scripture, how might you shorten your presentation? Demonstrate how the DVD may be offered along with the invitation. The following is a sample presentation: “Although Jesus Christ is perhaps better known than any man who has ever lived, many people wonder who he really is. Did you know that even Jesus’ own apostles pondered over this? [Allow for response. Then read Mark 4:41.] This DVD examines what the Bible says about Jesus’ real identity.”
10 min: “Benefit From Examining the Scriptures Daily—2013.” Discussion. Also, briefly consider the yeartext found in the January 15, 2013, issue of The Watchtower—On DVD, article 1, paragraph 8. Then invite audience to relate when they have set aside time to consider the text and how they have benefited. Conclude by encouraging all to consider the text each day.
