ANCHORED – WHEN I DON’T UNDERSTAND
Welcome to a New LifeGroup Session!
Before we jump into our study, let’s take a moment to remember that there are THREE things we want to see happen every time our LifeGroups gather:
– Movement towards Each Other
– Movement towards God
– Movement towards our Community
Our questions follow this same format. All of the questions are designed towards movement. We hope you enjoy your time together in your LifeGroup.
**Remember, our goal is to deepen our relationship with Jesus and each other. Use the questions that are help and skip the rest.
CURRENT SERIES: Anchored
When storms come and life is turbulent, we can hold onto TRUTH as an anchor in the storm. Need peace that goes beyond understanding, joy in trials, and hope beyond measure? That’s exactly what God offers us through His Word.
