Identity Crisis

Included below are Week 1 details to cover with your group, like the group agreement, volunteer schedules, growth goal ideas, and an overview of how groups work to help new people get acquainted with group. The notes also include the sermon discussion questions for this week.

This is a great time to remind your group of why we do groups (Apply the Bible, Build Relationships, Care for Each Other) and that we are not just meeting for ourselves, but we want to invite others into our Community Groups.

You may also want to just spend this week catching up and discussing your groups plans for this trimester, especially if your group plans will look different than a typical trimester.

Running On Full - Colossians 1:1-14

What Voices Are You Listening To?

This is the last week of the Who Am I? sermon series on identity and week 3 of the Community Group trimester.

If you have not had a chance to set growth goals yet with your group members, make sure to take some time in your prayer time this week to set goals with each other, or to invite those who missed last week to set a goal.

Two Lies About Human Identity (Gender Identity)

This is week 2 of the 11 week Winter Community Group Trimester.

Like last week, today’s message is on the sensitive topic: gender identity.

Some groups may want to dive right into discussing this topic, while others may choose to skip sermon discussion, do a meal, and spend additional time sharing stories.

Northridge has provided boxes of story cards if you’d like to use those as a tool to get to know each other on a deeper level.

Whether you discuss the sermon or not, we would encourage group leaders to let everyone in prayer time know, you are available to talk and pray with them about any questions or struggles they may have in these areas.

As with the beginning of any new trimester, we would also encourage groups to put together a shared volunteer schedule, set growth goals, and start group with a meal.
