Real Simple Groups

Spiritually helpful relationships don’t need to be overly complicated, but they do benefit from being intentional. The idea of Real Simple Groups is to meet regularly (usually once a week) with a couple other people for mutual spiritual encouragement. The time and format for meeting is entirely up to the group. For example, groups can meet by phone, video meeting, in the great outdoors, the options are endless! Groups will typically meet for around ten weeks.

“3 people, 3 questions, 10 weeks”

To form/join a group

  1. Find a couple other individuals (If you need help, contact pastor Josh)

  2. Choose a time & format (ex: “zoom call Monday evening at 6p”)

  3. Choose discussion content focus .*see below for ideas

When you meet

Whatever else you do or discuss, come prepared to answer these three questions each week:

  1. What Biblical truth has God been impressing on your heart this past week?

  2. What is one area you desire spiritual growth or strength in the week ahead?

  3. What, if anything, weighs heavy on you that the group can pray for?

Discussion Content Ideas:

  • Bible Study Guide - There are lots of great studies. Here are a couple sources for Bible studies written with you in mind: lifeway, RBP

  • Book Club - Choose from hundreds of great Christian books to read a portion and discuss each week.

  • Sermon Based - Use the weekly sermon or sermon passage as the launching point for your discussion

  • Bible Book - Choose a book of the Bible to work through together

    OR

  • Simply come prepared to share something from your independent devotional/bible study time.
