The Connected Life

August 2018

Prayer in Small Groups • North Oak

August 26, 2018 • Mark Sheets

For many of us, praying in front of a group of people can be difficult. But prayer is central to the church, and small groups provide an opportunity and a place where you can grow in your understanding of prayer and your own personal prayer life. It’s also a place where your personal prayer request can be heard and prayed for by people who know you. Praying for one another is an essential element of a small group experience.

Fellowship in Small Groups • North Oak

August 19, 2018 • Bryan Rezen

Fellowship is more easily experienced than explained. It is sharing joys and sorrows. It is celebrating successes and being quiet in disappointment – together. The hard to explain but easy to experience fellowship is the thing that keeps you coming back to your small group. It’s what makes you, after a hard day's work, feel pulled to go to your small group when every logical impulse would say to stay home and sit on the couch. The breaking of bread together is a common way for us to experience feeling connected to each other. For in the moment we are eating together we are connected through the shared experience of a meal.

Apostle's Teaching in Small Groups • North Oak

August 12, 2018 • Mark Sheets

In worship, we read the Bible and usually a Pastor shares a message based upon the Bible reading. This practice has been done for thousands of years. But hearing the Bible in worship is only one way to encounter the Bible. In a small group setting, though, we are allowed to go deeper. We hear different perspectives. We tell our stories and find application to life. When this happens in the context of a small group God’s spirit can guide and teach us through the reading and application of the Bible. The study of the Bible in a small group connects us together in a unique way that enlivens our spirits and draws us closer to our creator.
