For each Biblical theme (use link for Scripture Memory Sets or click button above), after reading through the thematically-related set of verses the first time, the leader comes up with key questions for which to reflect and seek answers. Write these questions down as goals to gain greater insights, as a group. You can formulate more specific questions than the generic DBS people and God questions. For example, for the theme, "God Values Children," instead of the "What does this passage reveal about people?" you might come up with questions such as these: PEOPLE >What are the model qualities that children demonstrate, according to Jesus?  Does this match our cultural views on children? How are adults less embracing of these qualities?  Instead of "What does this passage reveal about God?" you might come up with questions such as these: GOD > How does heaven feel about children being limited, held back, or mistreated? How are we to treat children in the light of this Kingdom perspective?

Have the group read aloud the verses of that Biblical theme, then have them silent read a second time. 

Begin the Discovery Bible Study (DBS), substituting the specific questions the leader created, for the generic DBS questions on PEOPLE and GOD. Use the ME and OBEY questions as is. 

If you have a small group or a discipleship group, you can also add the Discovery Group Format to the Discovery Bible Study (DBS) method.
