What Are Life Connect Groups?

Life Connect Groups: The Life Connect  Groups range in size from 6 to about 17 people. They provide an opportunity to build friendships with others while studying the word of God together.  Some Life Connect Groups meet at the church, and others meet in homes. Sometimes videos are used in the class and can be watched on your computer, smart phone, or smart tv on the internet through Right Now Media. All participants will be given a free Right Now Media Account.  Life Connect  Groups meet at various times and in various locations.  Our goal is to reproduce our groups, so if you would like to have a group meet in your home, we can send a lay pastor to guide you for six weeks, and then allow you to continue to lead the group in the future.   Each six week study will consist of various topics depending on the time and location. There is a two week break in between series. Some adjustments are made for holiday schedules.. A person does not have to attend our church to be a part of a Life Connect Group.  You may join a group in  the middle of a session if you like.

Teach Us How To Pray  With Shepherd’s Church  Led by Marvin Rogers and LaVerne Wilcox

In response to His disciples' request on how to pray, Jesus gave them what has become known as the Lord's Prayer. In reality it could be called the Disciples' Prayer, since it was given directly to them. Some have been taught it is a prayer that we are supposed to religiously recite word for word. Some even treat the Lord's Prayer as a mantra that will ensure God's blessings. However, when we study this prayer, we realize that Jesus is far more interested in our hearts when we pray, than in the words we use.

In this 6-week Life Group series titled "Teach Us How to Pray," we will be dissecting the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13. Each phrase from this prayer has divine direction that not only connects us with our Heavenly Father, but also allows the Holy Spirit to shape our hearts and minds to His will and image.

​Through this study and discussion, we will learn that the Lord's Prayer can be understood as a pattern of how to pray. It gives us the fundamental components that can go into our prayer time as we converse with God. As we learn how to pray from Jesus' teaching, we see that He perfectly addresses all areas of life that must be developed in order to allow the Holy Spirit to mold and shape us into the men and women He created us to be.

The Book Of James  With Francis Chan Led By Latanya Deane

True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.

Francis Chan unpacks the dense truth contained in the book of James in front of the iconic backdrop of San Francisco, the city where he lives and ministers. Through 6 sessions, Francis works through James verse-by-verse, challenging followers of Christ to move beyond a private, intellectual knowledge of God and His Word, to a vibrant faith that impacts every square inch of life.  

1. James 1:1-12   Trials and Pressures

2. James 1:13-18  Temptations

3. James 1:19-27  Listening And Doing

4. James 2:1-13    Favoritism And Discrimination

5. James 2:14-26  Faith And Works

Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis Part 1 With Marcus Lloyd Led By Pastor Rick Gillespie-Mobley

 Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis presents evidence for the biblical account of creation from a young-earth perspective, and offers defensible answers to some of the most provocative and controversial questions of faith and science. How did life begin? Where did humans come from? Was Noah’s Flood real? How old is the earth?

In each dynamic 22-minute episode, host Markus Lloyd guides the viewer on a memorable journey through some of the most fascinating topics in creation science. Through interviews with the leading creation scientists, insights from cutting-edge research, and on-location investigations, Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis presents evidence that supports a biblical viewpoint and dispels pervasive and inaccurate theories from the secular world.

1. Chaos Or Cosmos?

2. What Is Life?

3. What Is Man?

4. Buried Clues

5. Flood Or Fiction

6. How Old Is The Earth
