Step 4 - Inventory

We make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Foundation 4

“Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.” (Psalm 51:6)

Key Theme

Realize God’s grace; what he wants to change in you.

Remember

You are a new creation. Take off the old nature and live by the new nature in Christ.

NOTE: Attend Inventory Training as a group or watch the Inventory Training Module.

Things to Remember

• The focus this week is discussing the past week's work on the Sexual Inventory and the Recovery Issue Inventory. The Recovery Issue may have been covered in past inventories. Or, this inventory may be used to simply include other things that have come up that didn’t fit on other inventories.
• Gather briefly. Don’t spend much time in discussion today. You want to allow time for participants to work on inventory. Tell people you are here to help with any questions and that you will be checking their progress. Open in prayer. Then, dismiss to work on inventory.
• Note progress of participants. Wander around and see how they are progressing. This will give you opportunity to see who needs follow-up. Briefly encourage those you visit with.
• Note absent participants. Follow-up with missing participants and their mentors to see how they are doing. Tell them they are missed and you are there to help.
• Pray. Quietly say a prayer for each person you visit. Spend time praying for those not present.
• Keep working through your own inventory.
  • 1 Thessalonians 4:1, “Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.”
  • God is not finished with you. Ask him to use this inventory to draw you closer to him and to make you more like Jesus.
