LIFE Group W-2 (Part 1) WITHOUT RIVAL, by Lisa Bevere
(Part 2) FIVE LIES, by Joyce Meyer
Part 1— You’ll learn how to stop seeing others as rivals and make the deep connections with
your Creator you long for—connections that hold the promise of true identity and
intimacy. Part 2— The enemy’s lies are like heavy chains that weigh on us spiritually,
physically and emotionally. So why do so many of us fall for the enemy’s hurtful,
destructive lies? Wouldn’t you love to know the truth?
Facilitator: Pastor Dorrice
(Part 1) WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF , by Dr. Jeremiah
(Part 2) SOUL KEEPING, by John Ortberg

fears: defeat, depression, disconnection, disease, and death. You will learn how to replace
your unhealthy fears with a proper fear of God. Part 2— discover what the soul is, why it
is important, how to assess the soul's health, and how to care for it so that it contributes
to the depth and beauty of our relationship with God and others.
LIFE Group S-2 (Part 1) ALL THINGS NEW, by Kelly Minter
(Part 2) COMPARISON TRAP, by Sandra & Andy Stanley
Part 1— The city of ancient Corinth was much like our own modern-day cities. Still, Paul wrote
to the church of God in Corinth. Meaning God’s church is meant to thrive in any city and every
circumstance in which we find ourselves. Part 2— Comparison is never-ending and exhausting.
And whether you come out on top or come up lacking, there is simply no win in comparison. It's
a trap that you don’t have to give in to. Facilitator: Denise Harper

Examine the life of Joseph and the many detours God placed in his path. You will find comfort

LIFE Group S-3 (Part 1) GLORY DAYS, by Max Lucado
(Part 2) THE GRAVE ROBER, by Mark Batterson
Part 1— The story of Joshua shows how God has a Promised Land for each of us to claim. In
God's plan we win more than we lose, forgive as quickly as we are offended, and give as
abundantly as we receive. Part 2 — Our impossible situations are God's greatest opportunity
to reveal His glory. Sometimes it's hard to believe that God still does miracles; but He does!
LIFE Group S-4 (Part 1) MOVING MOUNTAINS, by John Eldredge
(Part 2) BEFORE AMEN, by Max Lucado
Part 1 — Learn how to pray to offer a step-by-step guide on why we pray, how we pray
effectively, and what we can expect to receive when we pray. Part 2— prayer is not a privilege
for the pious or the art of a chosen few but a simple tool all believers have been given to
have a conversation with God. Through the use of a simple, easy-to-remember, pocket-sized
prayer that he will lead your church members in building a great prayer life.
