## TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD

### 1. Reflecting on Jehovah’s Qualities Builds Faith  *(10 min.)*

Jehovah’s power convinces us that he *can* help us ([Jer 32:17](https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/jeremiah/32/#v24032017); [wp19.1 6 ¶1–7 ¶1](https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-no1-2019-jan-feb/what-is-god-like/#p4))

Jehovah’s loyal love assures us that he *wants* to help us ([Jer 32:18](https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/jeremiah/32/#v24032018); [w21.11 7 ¶18](https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-november-2021/What-Does-Jehovahs-Loyal-Love-Mean-to-You/#p27))

Jehovah’s sense of justice reminds us that he sees injustice and *will* act against it ([Jer 32:19](https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/jeremiah/32/#v24032019); [w25.10 21 ¶15](https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-october-2025/How-to-Improve-Your-Prayers/#p24))

([1Co 9:26](https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/1-corinthians/9/#v46009026)) Consider what we learned from a Governing Body update presented during the 2024 campaign to start Bible studies.

[Play the VIDEO](https://www.jw.org/open?lank=pub-mwbv_202609_1_VIDEO&wtlocale=E) **2024 Governing Body Update #6—Excerpt.** Then ask the audience:

What did you learn from the positive experiences that were shared?

Why would it be good to make time for the house-to-house ministry during this campaign?

What is the direct approach, and why is it often effective?

How can we make the best use of our time in the ministry?

**Refer to the article “A Simple Question That Anyone Can Ask.”** ([w25.02 30-31](https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-february-2025/A-Simple-Question-That-Anyone-Can-Ask/)) Then ask the audience:

What do you learn from Mary’s experience?

Make a list of people you would like to offer a Bible study to.
