Life Group - Leader Guides

The topic of judging! Not many things get us fired up like being judged. We all judge people, many times while not even knowing the circumstances, and yet we hate being judged by others. What does scripture say about this topic? This week we start a new series called Judged. In this first week, we are specifically considering self-righteous judgement.

Last week, we considered the way the Holy Spirit nudges us to action as we grow in our ability to share the gospel. This week we will consider what it looks like to offer an acceptable sacrifice. Whether we have a little or a lot, God values integrity and character. He doesn’t really need our money or our time, He wants our love and allegiance.

Last week, we focused on individually going all out and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us to care for others. This week we will consider the way the Holy Spirit sends us and how to grow in our ability to share the gospel. God doesn’t leave us on our own, going “all out” means following His nudges even when we don’t understand every detail. It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Last week, we talked about how the church is not just the building where we gather for services- it's a community, led by the Holy Spirit. This week we focused on individually going all out and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us to care for others in 2025.

Happy New Year, and welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the new year. As we start the beginning of 2025, it's a perfect time to reflect, refresh, restart and move forward with fresh purpose and energy. This weekend we explored what God might be calling us to pursue in the year ahead - as a church community and as individuals.
