Life Group - Study Guides

Sharing our faith can be challenging for many of us. We don’t want to come across as pushy or awkward, so we often hold back. This weekend, we talked about Jesus’ command to go and make disciples, and we explored some practical ways to share our faith with others in a natural and meaningful way.

We have come to the end of “The Great Campaign” series and what a ride it has been. Our prayer is that you allow God’s word to shape both your faith and your perspective on politics, as well as every other aspect of your life. In this final week, let’s turn to God’s Word to discover where our true citizenship lies.

Should Christians vote? Which candidate is morally better? Should I vote based on character? Should I vote based on laws and morals? So much to think about. Here is the main question, is my faith shaping my vote? It is not our vote that should shape our faith. As you start discussion let’s be the church of Christ and show our friends the respect and love of Christ.

So many people, opinions, thoughts, views, and ideas! What is the Church’s role in politics? We know that God has called us to stay united by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Join us as we look at what the Word of God says about these difficult matters. Ask God to help you be a person that creates unity within your sphere of influence.

When we look at all the chaos around us, we can become fearful, angry or depressed. How in the world do we navigate these crazy times with politics, news, unexpected events, and the things that are happening around us? We will be starting a series called “The Great Campaign” to help us see what God’s Word says about leaders of this world. As we dive in, we will agree to keep it safe and respectful with our Life Group friends.

Many of us have probably wondered why bad things happen. Just like the tragedy in the mountains. We question why God would allow such devastation. This weekend in the message, this topic is explored through the lens of God’s Word.

As we finish up our series on Magnify, we want to challenge, encourage and show you how to manage your finances God’s way. The Scriptures have a lot to say about managing our finances. Probably the most consistent theme on money is handling it with wisdom. We pray as you have heard this series that you would seek God, magnify His name, and use wisdom in all your ways.

This weekend we had the privilege of having Joe Sangl sharing with us. He shared how most of us are going through life with no protective wall. Just like the remnant of Jews in Jerusalem were living with broken down walls and no protection. Together we will look at what God’s Word says about our finances.

We start off a brand-new series this week called Magnify. Many times, in life when things are going well, we have all we need, and extra in the bank we tend to forget about God and trust these things. This is what happened to the Israelites in the Old Testament. They had been wandering around the desert for 40 years, having to trust God completely for their daily needs. As they are about to enter the promised land, flowing with milk and honey, they are reminded to be careful to not forget their God.

Well friends, you did it! You read the whole book of Romans. As we conclude our discussion with the last two chapters, we see the Jews and Gentiles arguing. The Jews continued to uphold their laws, while the Gentiles argued that these laws no longer applied. These types of disputes can cause division in our homes, relationships, and the Church. Paul speaks to the Jews and Gentiles over these disputable matters.
