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.

New Life Group Curriculum: The Treasure Principle


“15 percent of everything Christ said relates to this topic [of money and possessions]--more than His teachings on heaven and hell combined. Why did Jesus put such an emphasis on money and possessions? Because there’s a fundamental connection between our spiritual lives and how we think about and handle money. We may try to divorce our faith and our finances, but God sees them as inseparable” (The Treasure Principle, p. 9).

Life Groups at Harvest are beginning a new study this week. We’ll be going through a very small, yet hugely-impacting book: The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn. Jesus said many things about money and possessions that are rather shocking, and they capture our attention because they’re so out-of-step with the way our culture thinks, talks about, and handles money and possessions. We’re praying that God would use the truth of this book to radically transform the way relate to our “stuff,” making us kingdom-minded people who zealously and joyfully seek to store up treasures in heaven as Jesus commands.
We invite you to join us. If you’re not currently in a Life Group, sign up in the Lobby, or begin attending a group with a friend who is already plugged in.

To the right you'll find the reading schedule and discussion questions.
