Life Connect Groups

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.

Life Connect Classes

Ephesians –Monday Evening with Mark JD Greear led by Marvin Rogers and Andrea Billups.

Has it ever dawned on you that nothing has ever dawned on God? He knew before the world began that His people would face hardship, so He gave us His Word. The Book of Ephesians is a survival manual—it equips believers to thrive in a world that hates the message of Jesus Christ. Paul the Apostle writes to encourage believers to live well—we've been lifted from the graveyard of sin and called to shout the gospel into the darkened world.

Pastor and author J.D. Greear walks through the powerful words of Paul. In 9 sessions, J.D. digs into the text of Ephesians verse-by-verse and challenges believers to live out the gospel. If the people of your city, of your school, of your family are going to hear the gospel, it's going to be from your mouth. Encounter Ephesians, and get swept up into the story of Jesus.

Class will be led by Marvin Rogers And Andrea Billups On Mondays at 6pm

Love One Another Sylvia Fields

Love – Love For One Another – What The World Needs Now! Part 2

We will continue our exploration as why the word Love is so important in God’s Word. The second part is entitled “Inclusive Love” it consist of love for the stranger, poor, enemies and divine love reflected in human life. These lessons will be taken from 1 Samuel, the Gospel of Luke and 1st Corinthians. As we dive deeper into the concept of Love, we see that Love is not an option for believer of Christ. We will continue our study and look at the Christian principles found in these lessons in order to apply these principles to our own lives as Christ followers.

Character Wednesdays 7:30 At The Church with Pastor Rick

Life Application Bible Topical Studies by

Valerie Weidemann and James C. Galvin, Ed.D.

Character flaws - everyone has them. Some recognize their flaws and wisely avoid situations that would bring out the worst in their character. Others, however, are not so wise. They do not realize that a small character problem left unchecked can build up to a character crisis. This lesson will look at some famous people in the Bible and the serious character flaws they had. Their stories show how a lack of character is a problem with serious consequences.

Character Bible Study Lessons

Whisper –Wednesday Evening with Mark Batterson led by Walter & Katy Glenn

Many people have a tough time believing that God still speaks. We’ve learned from Scripture that God spoke to His people in ancient times and in mysterious ways, but how do we hear His voice now? The truth is God still communicates with His people, but He often speaks in a whisper—not to make it difficult to hear Him, but to draw us close.

In this 4-session series, Mark Batterson teaches what it means for Christians to discern the voice of God in their lives. He will introduce the seven love languages of God—each of them unique and entirely divine. By learning to tune in and decipher each language, Mark equips believers to hear God’s guidance and grow closer to Him.

God is speaking. Do you know how to listen?

Whisper Bible Study Lessons Student Whisper Teacher Lesson

Jude Contending For The Faith led by Jeanette Williams-Daniels with video by Jackie Hill Perry

While often overlooked, the Book of Jude remains as relevant today as the time it was written. God has commanded His beloved church to do the necessary work of contending for the faith in a world of unbelief, and as we do, He will keep us from falling into the same deception.

In this 7-session study from Jackie Hill Perry, dive into themes of being called, loved, and kept, and learn how to point others to Jesus in grace and truth. We serve others well when we share the whole gospel with them, not just the parts deemed attractive by our culture.
