Trials

A Leap of Faith (Jairus)

This is the last week of the Fall Trimester.

This is a great opportunity to review your progress on your growth goals, and recommit to them or set a new goal for the holiday break.

Don’t just set goals, but assign partners to help each other follow through while you are on break.

If you have not yet made plans for the holiday break, check out these opportunities to connect and serve together.

Find Joy In Suffering

Adam shared several passages on Sunday to read, reflect on and memorize during the week. In addition to discussing the sermon from Sunday, consider doing either of the following with your group:

Memorization:

  • Invite your group members to pick one of the verses below and memorize it this week. Then share with each other next week how God used that verse as you reflected on it.

    • Romans 8:18

    • 2 Corinthians 4:16-17

    • Psalm 46:1

Bible Reading:

  • Consider reading 1 chapter each day of the letter to the Philippians (4 chapters) and then texting your group members about your reflections.

God's Purpose in Trials

This is the first week of our new sermon series, “When Life Hits Hard.”

Community Group discussions are great, but healthy groups go beyond discussions, they provide care for each other.

Make sure to go beyond sermon discussion and reach out, care for, and pray for your group members this week when they share hardships they are going through.

Set aside some time to pray each morning, or consider having group members choose a prayer partner to connect with during the week.
