What's your story?


If you are reading this you are alive.  Weird that.  But how did you get here?  How would you describe the journey that you have been on through your life?  Have you had many ups and downs?  How did you cope with them?  What has inspired you?  Who has had a big impact on you and on your life?   

Big questions.  The stuff of life. What's your story?  This week in the network small groups you will get the chance to tell your story.  How does God break into your story?  What did he do for you?  How has His influence changed you.  

Big questions.  Be ready to share.  Be ready to listen.  Be ready to celebrate the awesome glory of how God reveals Himself in a different way to everyone in a way that meets the needs of that person.  

What's your story?   Take a look at the study guide here and dont forget to check out my site for the final installment in the prayer course.  

And  . . . . RISE is coming  . . . find out more at church on Sunday!

Talking about a revolution!


Talk is cheap . . .  

How do the people that we meet know what we believe?  How do they know what we think about the big questions in life?  

In this week's study for network you will be looking at 3 aspects of talking - first you will be looking at prayer (and talking to God), then we take a look at the way that the apostle Paul talked and shared his testimony story with Agrippa in Acts 26 and finally you will get the opportunity to start to think about how you talk and tell your story to other people, so that they know the difference that a life with Jesus can actually have! 

Talk is not cheap . . . it is essential to building up life changing friendships - I guess we should look at that too - get the study guide here  or visit here to look up the prayer information. 

Enjoy
