Getting the Most out of Life Groups - Video 3

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 third video titled “Engaging in Discipleship,” the pastors talked about how it is the job of everyone in the church to engage in discipleship. Utilizing the practical ideas they outlined (i.e. filling out your sermon application questions each week), how can you engage in discipleship more intentionally in your Life Group this ministry calendar year?

Family Weekend Picnic Registration Reminder

Please remind your Life Group that the Family Picnic Registration is a separate registration. So even if someone has registered for the Friday and Saturday event we still want them to register for the picnic so that we can plan accordingly. RSVP for the Family Weekend Sunday Picnic

Sunday’s Sermon: The Leaders the Church Needs, Pt. 2

1 Timothy 3:1-7

1. What clouds your thinking the most and keeps you from thinking clearly and being “sober-minded”? How can eternal realities and the truth of God’s Word help you be
   level-headed?

2. Read Hebrews 13:5. In a world dominated by materialism, how can you keep your life free from the love of money? What will it look like for you to cultivate contentment?

3. Read 2 Corinthians 12:14-15. In what ways should there be parallels between the attitude of a selfless parent and the attitude we should have toward others in the church?

4. Read 1 Peter 4:9. Why is a genuine care for strangers so critical for a healthy church and a healthy witness to the world? What are some practical ways you can show this
   care for others in our church and our community?

5. Read 2 Timothy 2:24-26. Do you find that you tend to either avoid conflict altogether or that you can be quarrelsome? How can you grow in contending for the truth without
   being contentious?
