GROUP LIFE
Encourage One Another
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 10:24-25)
WHAT ARE WE AIMING FOR IN GROUPS?
Groups helps us grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. You need others and others need you. In our Groups, we aim to develop significant relationships, study the Bible, encourage one another, worship God, and bless others. Click here to see our Group Model.
HOW DO GROUPS WORK?
Our Groups run seasonally, but some groups may choose to meet throughout the year. Seasonal groups typically meet for 6-8 weeks at a time. You can sign up for a different group each session, take a break , or continue with the people you’ve connected with.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Groups consist of a gathering of 8-12 people who typically meet 2-4 times a month in homes or at The Naz. At each group meeting you can expect to have a time to connect relationally, study the Bible and discuss how it applies to your life, and pray for one another.

In this series through the book of Galatians, we address the danger of spiritual drift, particularly how we as Christians can tend to drift toward a performance-based faith. In Paul's letter to the Galatians, Paul confronts the false teaching that salvation requires Jesus plus something else. The true gospel is Jesus plus nothing—salvation is based entirely on Christ's performance for us, not our performance for him.

In this message, we explore the concept that every person's life is like a bookcase filled with divine gifts - time, family, education, personality, and more. While everyone's bookcase looks different, everything on it is given by God for divine purpose. You were made for this.
