SHARING LIFE GROUP

WEDNESDAY | 6:30-8:00 PM | VIDEO BIBLE STUDY

LEADERS: ERIC & PEGGY JOHNSON

Frequency: Weekly | Location: Creekside | Duration: Ongoing

Our focus in the Sharing Life Group is just that—sharing our lives. While Bible study is the anchor to our gatherings, our purpose is to develop and nurture long-term, healthy relationships, as we follow Jesus’ command in John 15:12 to “Love each other as I have loved you.” This group is about uplifting, encouraging, and learning together. In our next series, titled “Making Sense Out of Suffering” (begins Wednesday, October 1), we deal with the stuff we all dread—illness, loss, pain, and evil—and the question: “Why does a loving God allow such suffering?” Join us as we tackle this topic head-on and learn how to “Fear not!” Learn how, as a Child of God, YOU too can know true peace, comfort, and yes, even joy! The book required for this study, “Making Sense Out of Suffering” by Peter Kreeft, is available for $12.00 each from the group leader.

Frequency: Weekly | Location: Creekside & Zoom  | Duration: 6 Weeks-Starts 9/3

Ever wondered what it means to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom in today's world? Join us for "Living in God's Kingdom" - a six-week journey through the New Testament that will transform how you see Jesus, your faith, and your daily life. We'll discover Jesus as the radical King whose upside-down kingdom challenges everything our culture tells us about success, power, and purpose. From His provocative parables to Paul's subversive letters to Revelation's promise of ultimate victory, we'll explore how the early church lived as a revolutionary counter-culture - and what that means for us today. This isn't just Bible study; it's training for kingdom citizenship. Whether you're facing workplace pressures, struggling with competing loyalties, or simply wanting to live more authentically as a follower of Jesus, this series will equip you to bring heaven to earth, one choice at a time. Come discover the King worth following and the Kingdom worth living for!
