Winter 2012 Community Groups

Proverbs

If there ever was a day that we need wisdom, that day is now.  There are many voices out there, trying to get us to do this or that. God provides us with His wisdom from the Book of Proverbs.  

Explore & More

Discuss & reflect on the weekly sermon and its Biblical texts. This allows people to dig deeper into the sermon content leading to application and accountability. 

Ephesians

Study one of the most encouraging books in the New Testament. The purpose of the book of Ephesians was to encourage the local church to maintain their first love that they held when they first became believers. Come discover how this book applies to your life today. 

Book of Acts

Do you speak Mandarin? If so, consider studying the book of Acts together with others and discover how the Holy Spirit continues to build up his Church today.

Divorce Care

Divorce can be one of life’s most difficult experiences that should not be gone through alone. Join a friendly, caring group of people who will walk together through the pain of the past and the rebuilding of the future. 

Purpose Driven Life

The most basic question everyone faces in life is Why am I here? What is my purpose?   Real meaning and significance comes from understanding and fulfilling God’s purposes for putting us on earth. This study helps readers understand God’s incredible plan for their lives. It will enables you to see the big picture of what life is all about and begin to live the life God created you to live.

Outflow

For most adults, outreach feels...well, uncomfortable. Intrusive. Contrived. That's why, in spite of Jesus' intent that we share our faith, we seldom do so. With Outflow, the groups experience transformed, joy-filled lives they then share with others. Outflow encourages honest outreach based on a growing relationship with God...and the sharing of God's love. Discover how to share Jesus, naturally. With Outflow there are no formulas to memorize, no sales techniques to master. Instead your Community Group members will simply experience the joy of God’s presence, then reach out to share that abundance in their lives with others. It’s not just outreach – it’s outflow

Becoming more than a Good Bible Study Girl

Is something missing in your life? For years author, Lysa TerKeurst, went through the motions of a Christian life: Go to church. Pray. Be nice. Longing for a deeper connection between what she knew in her head and her everyday reality, she wanted to personally experience God's presence. Drawing from her own remarkable story of step-by-step faith, Lysa invites you to uncover the spiritually exciting life we all yearn for.

Growing Through Life’s Challenges

Throughout Scripture, we see evidence that God's people faced the same challenges we do today. From rejection to depression, facing overwhelming responsibilities to wrestling with doubts, these heroes of the faith shared the pain, frustration, and hopes that are common to modern day believers. People such as Moses, Joshua, Daniel, Peter, and Paul will encourage you to see that God's character and presence can give you strength to face any difficulty 

Not a Fan

Are you passionately following Jesus? An admiring fan? Or not into Jesus? Not a Fan calls us to consider the demands and rewards of being a true follower of Jesus. Frankness sprinkled with humour, this series invites us to live the way Jesus lived, love the way he loved, pray the way he prayed, and never give up living for the One who gave his all for us.
