WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS, WE ALL HAVE HOPE

The start of our fall small groups season is in full swing and the theme we have chosen this month is “We All Have Problems, We All Have Hope.” The continual rush of our modern lives often causes us to feel isolated and to focus on our problems as if we were the only ones experiencing a particular situation or hardship. Yet, by focusing only on ourselves, we miss the opportunity Acts 20:35 points us to by reminding believers that “it is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Our goal this month is to live out this principle of giving back to others while we also seek answers and healing through the practice of small groups. Therefore, the purpose of our small group studies is to help you understand, deal with, and overcome life’s pain, hang-ups, and negative habits and to bring you hope and healing.

In our groups, we try to live by the L.I.F.E. acronym that was introduced last month. When we gather together, we seek to do the following:

• Learn and apply the principles of the Bible
• Invite others to follow Jesus
• Form deeper relationships
• Engage in service

We believe that as you connect in your small group setting, you will quickly realize the same thing God did when He declared, “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18, NKJV). We get closer to our creative potential when we immerse ourselves in a safe community of people who support us through life’s ups and downs. If you haven’t yet enrolled in one of our small groups, there’s a small window of opportunity at the beginning of the month. If you would like to register for a group, reach out to us either on social media, on our website, or at the church office with your information, and we will connect you with the right person.

Join us all month long for this important and exciting series!
