New book - Groups: The Life-Giving Power of Community

Title: Groups: The Life-Giving Power of Community
Authors: John Ortberg, Laurie Pederson and Judson Poling
Call number: 122 ORT








Community is God’s idea. Only in community can we know and be known, love and be loved, celebrate others and be celebrated by them. And only through close, transparent relationships can we be transformed as individuals.

Groups invites you to enjoy the rewards--and embrace the risks--of community. Step by step, this study will challenge and encourage you to explore the amazing potential for growth found in authentic relationships. You’ll study the true nature of friendship. The power of paying attention. The path to intimacy. The encouragement of being for one another. You’ll learn what it means to live out these and other simple but vital truths for being all you are, giving all you’ve got, and receiving all you need as a member of God’s dynamic community, the church.

Leader’s guide included!

Groups group sessions are:
  • This Is a Friendship
  • Love Pays Attention
  • Knowing and Being Known
  • When Community Breaks Down
  • Forgiveness
  • Building a Passionately Inclusive Church
  • Being "For" One Another
