Life Group - Study Guides

Life can be hard. But God has put you in the exact perfect spot to see a need and tackle it. When opposition comes, He can guide you through it so that you not only survive but thrive! We can learn to deal with setbacks, ridicule, and opposition in a biblical manner as we look at Nehemiah’s example.

If you’ve been a believer for a long time, you may consider the act of baptism as unimportant. In this study, let’s look at its meaning and significance in the life of all believers. This week is an opportunity for all of us to reflect, obey, or teach someone else the meaning of Baptism as modeled by Jesus.

Last week, we talked about sharing our stories, knowing who we are and where we’ve come from. But how in the world do you get the conversation started? How do you learn to share all that God has done in your life?

This week, we learn that we are God's chosen people. He has paid our debts! Let's learn more about this Good News and how we can prepare ourselves to share the Gospel with others.

Have you grown weary working towards a dream? Maybe like Kurt Warner, you’ve been overlooked, underused, and feel as if you will never achieve your goal. Let's learn how we can apply Biblical truths to keep chasing our dreams and to remain content in the waiting.

Are you in a place of contentment, or are you striving to get there? Are you at peace today--in the present—or would you say you are trying to get somewhere different or get away from your past? We need to let go of the past, the future, the glory, and the failures. We need to give our lives to God to be at rest and in a place and contentment.

In every life, there will come hardships and hurts, trials and troubles. Jesus Himself said this would be so. Yet He also promised to be with us and respond to our faith. How do you hold on to faith, when God does not seem to hear, or the answer is long delayed? Let’s look at some verses that will help us.

We are all individuals. We come from different backgrounds, different triumphs, and different hurts. We have labels, or even self-perceptions, which we allow to define who we think we are. Are you ready to let God reveal His definition of your identity?

We often assume our friends and neighbors aren’t interested in God. On the contrary, everyone is searching for something to satisfy them at a deep, soul level. People are looking for Jesus, whether they know it yet or not. We know the only one who can meet their needs and it’s our job to share it and invite everyone.

We often want to follow God, but we also have our own “really good” plans. Maybe God’s promise seems unclear, or late, or is not leading us the way we want to go. Why should we trust Him and wait for His direction and provision? Check it out in this study.
