Timeless Truths (a study in Genesis) – Redemption Clock Starts (week 5)
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: Timeless Truths

Last Week: Read Genesis 11:1-9 and Proverbs 3:5-6 every day this week. Are there “towers” you might be building in your life? What would it look like to trust God with all of it?
