LIFE Group S1 HOW PEOPLE CHANGE by Timothy Lane & Paul Tripp

In this group learn to understand how Christ's life, death, and resurrection bring lasting change. You will

be challenged to experience the deep-down change that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings and given the

tools to understand the basic principles in the How People Change Study Guide. It’s likely that we all

have something that we’d like to see changed within us…now’s your time! Facilitator: Tim Fitzwater

LIFE Group S2 (Part 1: 6 Weeks) HAVE A NEW KID BY FRIDAY by Kevin Leman

A Christian psychologist who has written many books, Dr. Leman combines a healthy dose of common

sense psychology and his unique brand of humor to make for a delightful study. Parents don't have to

wait weeks or months to see a positive difference in their kids. Grow as a parent as we journey together

in this LIFE Group. Facilitator: Robin Marks

LIFE Group S2 (Part 2: 6 Weeks) THE BLESSING by John Trent

Children of every age long for the gift of "the blessing"--the unconditional love and approval that comes

from a healthy relationship with their parents. This life-changing gift, essential for instilling a deep sense

of self-worth and unshakable emotional well-being contains five essential elements that will amplify you

love, care and concern for your children. Facilitator: Robin Marks

LIFE Group W-1 (Part 2: 6 Weeks) YOU’LL GET THROUGH THIS, by Max Lucado

With the compassion of a pastor, the heart of a storyteller, and the joy of one who has seen what God

can do, Max explores the story of Joseph and the truth of Genesis 50:20. What Satan intends for evil,

God redeems for good. God doesn't promise that getting through trials will be quick or painless. It wasn't

for Joseph--tossed in a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, and forgotten. But

his Old Testament story is in the Bible for this reason: to teach us to trust God

Facilitator: Pastor Stevens

LIFE Group W-1 (Part 1: 6 Weeks) THE HOLY SPIRIT, by John Bevere

The Holy Spirit is frequently misunderstood, leaving many clueless about who He is and how

He expresses Himself to us. He is often portrayed as something “weird.” But the Bible makes it

clear that the Spirit is not something. He is someone—a Person who has promised to never leave

your side. In this curriculum, John Bevere invites you into a personal discovery of the most

ignored and misunderstood Person in the Church: the Holy Spirit.

LIFE Group S-3 (Part 1 - Six Weeks) A MAN AND HIS STORY, by Robert Lewis

(Part 2 - Six Weeks) A MAN AND HIS TRAPS, by Robert Lewis

Part 1: In the pursuit of authentic manhood, every man must understand and come to grips

with the defining moments and key relationships that have shaped his unique "story."

Part: 2 Will help men avoid or escape the destruction that falling into the common manhood

traps can bring. Facilitator: Dan DeHaven

LIFE Group S4 The Gospel of Luke From The Outside In by David Morlan

Luke brings the gospel of Jesus from the outside in. From start to finish he depicts Jesus as accessible to

the unknowns, the outcast, the lost, and the hopeless. As Jesus' ministry continues, Luke points out

that Jesus' desire was not just to call sinners but to call sinners to repentance. In this group you will

examine what the foundation of your relationship with God ought to be. Facilitator: Nelma Fitzwater

Facilitator: Stacey DeHaven
