How to Share Your Faith
Do you have group members who are considering baptism?
Our Open Baptism Service is in 2 weeks, on February 11th.
Encourage them to take that step and register for our Open Baptism service.
Sunday’s message was all about sharing our faith and a big part of that is prayer.
Not only should we share the names of people in group that we are praying would come to know Christ, but make sure to take time in group to specifically pray for each of those people.
What Makes Christianity Compelling?
If You didn’t get a chance last week to cast vision for your group by talking about the purpose of groups (Apply the Bible, Build Relationships, Care for Each other), vision (to invite others and multiply in the future), volunteer schedules, and the group agreement, you’ll find those included in this weeks discussion questions.
If you didn’t get a chance to set growth goals last week, be sure to take some time in your group to do that this week.
Does Your Heart Break?
Included below are Week 1 details to cover with your group, like the group agreement, volunteer schedules, growth goal ideas, and an overview of how groups work to help new people get acquainted with group. The notes also include the sermon discussion questions for this week.
This is a great time to remind your group of why we do groups (Apply the Bible, Build Relationships, Care for Each Other) and that we are not just meeting for ourselves, but we want to invite others into our Community Groups.
You may also want to just spend this week catching up and discussing your groups plans for this trimester, especially if your group plans will look different than a typical trimester.
When Your Faith Is Stale

As you prepare for the new Community Group Trimester, make sure to do these 6 things to prepare for a healthy start to a new groups year.
The Prisoner Set Free
God's Plan To Save The World
If your group members don’t have a regular habit of taking notes during Sunday’s sermon, or looking at their notes during group discussions, take some time this week to encourage that practice.
Taking notes helps us think more deeply, pay closer attention, and better reflect on the truths we hear from God’s word each week.
Having the notes enhances discussions as people don’t have to rely on their memory, but can look at their notes.
If they don’t have the Northridge app where they can access the sermon notes, a link can be found right on our website under our media tab.
Here is the direct link to download the app that you can email or text to your group: https://subsplash.com/northridgechurch/app
