Why Life Groups?

Life Groups provide an ideal, smaller context for pursuing spiritual growth with other believers who share a commitment to radical life change through an application-oriented study of God's word, accountability, and prayer. The life God has called us to, a life passionate for His supremacy, can't be done alone; we need one another to be using our God-given gifts to build each other up.

Lives Moulded by the Gospel

The entry below comes from Of First Importance, which is a blog that gives on a daily basis a "thoughtful quote to help you remember what's "of first importance": the gospel of Jesus Christ." It relates well what Pastor John has been preaching. If we're going to be used of God in this city, then we must be gripped by something great, namely, the gospel.

Lives Moulded by the Gospel
“The doctrines of the gospel are meant to mould us so that our lives begin to ’set’ in the likeness of Christ. We have made little or no impression upon the world, for the very reason that the gospel doctrine has made a correspondingly slight impression upon us. It cannot be overemphasized that men and women who have accomplished anything in God’s strength have always done so on the basis of their grasp of truth.”

- Sincalir Ferguson, The Christian Life (Carlisle, Pa.: Banner of Truth Trust, 1981), 8-9.
