Is The Bible Still Relevant Today?
This is the second week of the winter Community Group break. Groups will begin meeting again January 15th.
The goal of Community Groups is not to hold meetings, but to live together in Biblical Community.
So even though your group might break from your weekly rhythms, we encourage you to gather for a holiday social or serving project and stay connected.
How To Read and Study the Bible
This is the last week of the Community Group Trimester. Take some time to set a date for a holiday gathering and discuss plans for the new year. The Winter Community Group Trimester kicks off on Sunday, January 15th.
You may also want to take some time to review and set growth goals for the holiday break. The holidays can be one of the most difficult times of the year to maintain spiritual disciplines and avoid temptations.
How Can I Change? Part 3 - The Bible
Included below are beginning of trimester 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.
If this is your first meeting, 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.
HAVE YOU OPENED YOUR BEYOND BOX YET?
As you regather with your group, take 20-30 minutes together to open the box and explore opportunities to serve together. We've received a lot of positive feedback about the experience.
After you open the box, make sure to go to iwant.info to take your next step.
New Year. New You

What comes to mind when you think of the word 'discipline'? The truth is, at some level, we all long to be disciplined but we don't like the process. This is also true when it comes to our spiritual lives. This message seeks to turn the drudgery of discipline into genuine delight.
Ephesians 1:15-19

As we discuss this sermon series on rhythms this may be a good opportunity to review your Growth Goals with your group members and how each of you are progressing.
There are just 3 weeks left of our Community Group trimester.

Part 1 of the "Sacred Rhythms" series
When it comes to following Christ, most of what we know about who God is and what He wants for us it built upon one source: the Bible. But how much do we value God’s holy and flawless Word? Is it something we can’t live without, or have we become numb to its power? Spending time in God’s word is a rhythm in life we can’t afford to live without.
John 5:39
