Using Life Group Questions for Personal Growth

 

Each week, we provide an outline during the weekend service. On one side, we provide the Bible passage to look at during the service. On the other side, there are discussion questions that connect to that same weekly passage. These questions are designed to interact and apply the passage. 

These questions are used by our Life Groups that meet throughout the week. But these same questions can be used as a personal study tool. If you are not yet part of a group, you can use these questions during your personal Bible study time. They can provide an opportunity to dig deeper and reinforce the passage from the previous weekend’s service. Also, if you miss a service, both the message and the questions can be downloaded online.

If you’re someone who is not yet giving:   Make a decision to get involved. Take the first step toward the  biblical practice of giving. You can find out more about giving here.

And for everyone: Please  take time this week to pray for the finances of both our church family,  and the individual families that make up New Life.

Invite a Friend!

The most effective way to invite someone is when people personally invite a friend, co-worker, neighbor, family member or just someone they know. And what’s great is that when the person comes to New Life, they already know someone! We would like to encourage you to invite someone you know to come to New Life.
