Find someone that you can read the Bible with on a weekly basis. Read a Psalm together, start at Mark’s Gospel or Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Maybe you can use the ABCD questions Luther asked of the text:
A: What is this text About?
B: What’s the Best thing about this text?
C: What is the most Challenging or Confusing part of this text?
D: What is God calling you to Do?
We’d love to hear your stories about how God is blessing you through this simple endeavour!

Please Note: As many of our regular LifeGroups take a break over the Summer, the final LifeGroup guide for this year will be the LifeGroup guide schedule for publication on Sunday 21st of December 2025 which will serve as a conclusion to our Advent/Christmas teaching series.
New LifeGroup guides will be available in advance of our new sermon Series beginning on the First Sunday in February 2026.
We encourage any LifeGroups that do plan to meet over the summer, to take the opportunity to gather together in your local community in a meaningful way that might serve others or share the love of Jesus with those in your local context.
