Regardless of what you are studying or viewing, there are basic questions that can get any group talking. The following is helpful to fall back on to get your group owning an idea that's been presented (such as the sermon this Sunday), a scripture read, a DVD watched, etc., and for allowing God room to challenge their thinking.
Based on the content of the teaching/message:
What were the key points for you?
What was the "one thing" you took away?
What surprised you?
What bothered you? Why?
Have you ever heard or come across a similar teaching or idea? Have you ever been taught something that was contradictory?
What is/was already part of your thinking on this subject?
What did you learn that was new to you?
*About God?
*About yourself?
*About others?
What changes of thought are necessary in light of what you learned?
What changes of action are needed?
How would life be different if you/we applied this teaching fully?
What are the hindrances, and what do we do about those?
What role can this group play to help you take steps this week and beyond?
