We will be starting our Lenten small groups the week of March 2nd.
This Lenten season, we will be offering two options for Small Groups. The first will be Life-Changing Prayer: Approaching the Throne of Grace by Jim Cymbala. The price of the book is $7.00. There will be 4 study groups.
The second option will be Messy People by Jennifer Cowart on Monday nights at 7 pm. The price of this book is $11.00.
With different classes we hope you can find one that works best for you. This is a good way to meet new people and learn scripture during the Lenten
season. Sign-ups are in the lobby, and more information on each study is available below.
Life-Changing Prayer is a six-session video study on how prayer can change your life. In this video series, Pastor Jim Cymbala (Brooklyn Tabernacle) explores how God promises in his Word that you can approach him at any time and be certain he will hear you, answer you, and extend his mercy to you. Prayer can change lives like nothing else, and when you and other believers call on his name, powerful things can happen!
Sessions include:
- The Throne of Grace
- Receiving Merrcy
- Perfect Peace from God
- Praying with Faith
- God Brings the Answer
- The Church That Prays Together
This study features teachings by Jim Cymbala and includes interviews of extraordinary people who received extraordinary answers to their prayers. Open groups for this study will be available Wednesdays at 10AM, Wednesdays at 6PM, and Thursdays at 7PM.
Messy People: Life Lessons from Imperfect Biblical Heroes is a Bible study by Jennifer Cowart (teaching pastor at Harvest Church in Warner Robins, Georgia). Every life gets messy at times. Whether it’s a messy house or a messy situation, God can restore and use you. In this 6-week study of some messy biblical people, you will learn that God uses broken people, restores broken hearts, and helps us deal with the hard moments of life. Each session focuses on a different character.
The Messy People Study Guide contains five daily readings and Bible Study for each week’s lesson. A Video Viewer Guide for taking notes during the group DVD viewing is at the end of each chapter.

- Week 1: Rahab: Changing Your Messy Story (Joshua 2;6)
- Week 2: The Prodigal Son: Restoring Messy Relationships (Luke 15: 11-32)
- Week 3: Josiah: Breaking Messy Family Cycles (2 Kings 22-23; 2 Chronicles 34-35)
