Getting the Most out of Life Groups - Video Series

Although this video also went out in today’s church-wide email, be sure to watch it and share it with your Life Group. Spend a few minutes this week discussing it’s content with your Life Group. Here is a question to help prompt the discussion: In this first video titled "Making the Big Church Small," the pastors highlighted the need to be "known" in the church. In what ways do you hope to make yourself more known in this Life Group to have your spiritual needs met?

Let the Life Group Games Begin!

The Life Group Games are just around the corner! Today, we want to share two aspects of the competition so that your group can prepare.

Style Points - Each group will receive style points as the first event in the games. At the beginning of the competition pastor Johnny and pastor Charlie will walk around the arena and score each team according to the following criteria:

1. Life Group Pride

2. Originality

3. Cohesion (% of Team Participation) 

4. Effort

Best Beef Bite - Each team will compete to impress a panel of three judges: Pastors Johnny, Josiah, and Charlie. Here are the competition rule:

• Must be Gluten and Dairy free and contain beef as the star! 

• Include a label and description of the dish

• Bring only enough for three servings for the three judges

• It will be eaten and judged on stage before the games

• Delivered by 4:30pm

  • We will have a delivery station so that your dish will remain anonymous during judging

  • How, when, and where you prepare your dish is completely up to you as long as it’s delivered by 4:30pm

• Judging will be based on: 

• Flavor

• Creativity

• Use of Beef

Important Dates for Women’s Events

Women, be sure to save these two important dates and share them with your Life Group!

• The Women’s Christmas Coffee will be held on the evening of Friday, December 12

• The 2026 Women’s Retreat is scheduled for April 30-May 2

Sunday’s Sermon: The Men & Women the World Needs, Pt. 2

1 Timothy 2:8-15

1. Why is it important to enthusiastically embrace God’s design for men and women as
   opposed to just begrudgingly resigning to it? What difference will that have in your life,
   your home, and your church?

2. What objections have you encountered that go against the straightforward reading of
   this text? How can you respond to them biblically?

3. Reread 1 Timothy 2:8-15. As we conclude this two-week study, how would you most like
   to grow in what God has called you to as a man or as a woman?

4. Men, read 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. What will it look like for you to live out the loving
   strength that is described in this passage?

5. Women, read 1 Peter 3:3-6. What will it look like for you to cultivate character that is
   truly beautiful in God’s sight? (Consider the words at the end of 1 Timothy 2:15, as well:
   faith, love, and holiness with self-control.)
