Steak and Potatoes – a study in Romans: Closing Challenge (week11)
Welcome Back!!!
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: Steak & Potatoes – a study in Romans

Last Week: Pray for your leaders this week? Our country, state and local.
Two Weeks Ago: Is there a difficult person in your life? Pray for them this week and ask God to help you see them as He does.
