What is a healthy Small Group?

Brian — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 01:01:40 +0000

What is a healthy Small Group? It’s a question that will inevitably cross the mind of every Small Group Leader and Coach at some point. What are we supposed to be doing? How can I help people grow? What gives us the best chance to see life change and deeper life in Christ? These are [...]

It is with a mixture of both excitement and sadness that we would like to announce that I have accepted the position of Executive Pastor at Bridgeway Community Church in Fishers, Indiana starting in May. MORE...

Operation Advance: Prayer

Brian — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:33:46 +0000

This week in Operation Advance, we're focusing on Prayer.

We are the reason for the season. Clarity at Christmas…

Brian — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:00:46 +0000

While correct that we are the reason for this season, the focus should not be us. The focus should be on God’s love. It is His love that caused Him to send His Son. This love should humble us.

Special Supplementary Discussion Guide – Stewardship

Brian — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:04:16 +0000

Small Group Leaders! This week starts a new series called “Satisfied.” In it, we’ll be looking at the things that make us content or discontent and how to appropriately steward the resources that God has given to us.

[Unspoken]

Brian — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 20:57:02 +0000

I have a pet peeve in Small Groups. Several actually, but none more likely to get the stinkeye than this one. The Unspoken Prayer Request. “Yes, I have two unspokens, one mumble, two unfocused rants and a little bit of gossip. Please pray.”* If you’ve been in the church long, you’ve heard someone ask for [...]

The Discipleship Map

Brian — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:02:12 +0000

What is Life in Christ? What is a disciple? How do we grow? What does God do to help us grow? What is our responsibility in all that? What is the ultimate goal? We wrestled with those questions all summer long. They aren’t easy questions to answer. And even if we came up with some [...]

Why Small Groups Don’t Work…

Brian — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:46:11 +0000

I want to ask a foundational question. It’s one that I’ve challenged with several times over the course of the last few years. I want to wrestle with it honestly and openly. Do Small Groups work? It’s a straightforward question with a far less straightforward answer because, to ask that question, we must first know [...]

Small Group Summer thoughts…

Brian — Thu, 31 May 2012 18:32:49 +0000

We’ve been talking with several Small Group Leaders trying to get a feel for how you’re all doing and we’ve discovered a lot. Firstly, God is certainly moving in your Small Groups. It’s so cool to hear stories of life change and growth. That’s what Small Groups are for! Secondly, we got the impression that [...]
