Dealing With Disagreements
This is the last week of the Spring Trimester. It may be good to take some time in your last meeting to share Summer plans for your group, put some dates on the calendar for a BBQ or social gathering, and also discuss growth goals for the summer.
A First Century Test Case
How To Not Feel Guilty
That Little Voice In Your Head
The Chameleon
This is the third week of our 7-week Spring Trimester. The past several weeks we have covered some heavy topics (Depression, Lust, and Pride). If you or your group members would like more help as you work through these issues, be sure to go to iwant.info to sign up for a growth plan each week.
If you have further questions or need help with anything, be sure to reach out to your Groups Coach.
Run For Your Life
This is the second week of our 7-week Spring Trimester. The next several weeks are covering some heavy topics (Depression, Lust, and Pride). If you or your group members would like more help as you work through these issues, be sure to go to iwant.info to sign up for a growth plan each week.
We always encourage each group to set Growth Goals at the beginning of the trimester, and then keep each other accountable with your progress over the next few months. This trimester, your group could work on memorizing scripture together, using the verse cards we’ll be providing each week. You might consider using some of your prayer time each week to recite the passages together.
If you have further questions or need help with anything, be sure to reach out to your Groups Coach.

Hopeful Guilt
This is the last week of our Winter Trimester. Make sure to discuss with your group your plans for the break and what your meeting details will look like in the Spring Trimester.
As we wrap up the Winter Trimester, it would also be good to spend time discussing each other’s progress on your growth goals.
A Risk Worth Taking?
The sermon this week is pointed and personal about our sin and guilt, and our response to our sin.
It would be helpful to consider ahead of time how you will answer the questions so you can model authenticity and openness about your own struggles.
Also, as we near the end of our Winter Trimester (Ending March 27th), it would be good to review your progress on your growth goals.

All We Need
2021.01.31 - Drew Karschner - "All We Need"
CHAOS - that world probably sums up most of our experiences during the early phases of the pandemic. In some ways, things haven’t really gotten that much better. And while things feel chaotic, that word chaos implies a lack of order or control - but what if things weren’t out of control, they were just out of OUR control? In this message, we’ll explore the fact that God has always been firmly in the driver’s seat of our lives, it’s just a matter of recognizing His guiding hand.
Mark 4:37-41
No Stopping Us
Page 2 of the discussion questions includes beginning of the trimester details to cover with your group, like the group agreement, volunteer schedules, and overview of how groups work to help new people get acquainted with group.
If you didn’t get a chance to review those last week, you may want to take a few minutes this week to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Also, if you didn’t get an opportunity to set a Growth Goal with your group last week, take a few minutes in prayer time to set goals to help each other grow this trimester!
2021.01.24 - Drew Karschner - "No Stopping Us"
For more than six months in 2020, we were unable to physically gather as a church. It was easy to think that our church was “closed” - but was it really? In this talk we’ll explore what lessons we learned about what the Church really is while we watched “church” from our living rooms.
Matthew 16:18
You Make Me Better
Included below are Week 1 details to cover with your group, like the group agreement, volunteer schedules, and overview of how groups work to help new people get acquainted with group. The notes also include the sermon discussion questions for this week.
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.
2021.01.17 - Melvin Cross - "You Make Me Better"
If 2020 did anything, it brought racial tensions to the forefront of our minds. But we can’t just keep saying, “That’s a tough topic” or “I’m not sure what I think about that” - eventually, we have to pursue change. Eventually, we have to chase unity. In this message, Pastor Melvin Cross of Glory House International in Rochester (ghiny.org) will challenge us with the truth of the importance of unity in God’s design for the church.
