Our desire is to create a culture that people from all walks of life can DISCOVER God’s word together in a safe, small group setting and DEVELOP as believers following Jesus. 

What is a Life Group?  Life Groups are a gathering of up to 12 individuals committed to meeting on a weekly basis. It consists of similar background, interests, life situations, etc.  We desire to do LIFE with people in these small group settings. 

Why do Life Groups?  To meet the immediate spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of those isolated by crisis through prayer and personal connection within the church body.

Where do Life Groups meet? Life Groups mostly meet in homes of Freedom members who live in the surrounding region. Life Group leaders sincerely care for each of the people they lead. Each leader has a passion to help you become everything Jesus created you to be, a person connected to your everyday life, and a person who will encourage you to share your faith in Christ.

When do Life Groups meet?  Groups meet at various days of the week.  Most Life Group meetings are between 60-90 minutes each week. They are semester based groups lasting between 2-3 months each semester with a short time off in between semesters.

How do I join a Life Group? Life Groups are not just for attendees of Freedom but anyone is able to attend.  Whoever wants to get connected to a Life Group can sign up at the Connection Wall at any one of our Sunday Worship Experiences.

THIS WEEK'S LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS

Life Group Questions: Sunday May 19, 2024

Pentecost: New Wine, New Wineskins, New Robes

​1. This is the last week of our Life Group Session until the fall! Take a moment to share some of the highlights and takeaways from the last few months. What has stuck out to you the most? What has the Lord done in your life through Life Group?

2. Read Matthew 9:17. Why does “new wine” have to be put into “new wine skins”? Discuss how new wine skins are soft and pliable while old ones are not. How does this apply to our journey with Christ?

3. What does it mean to have “new wine in old robes”? What are some of the ways we can be resistant to change by being trapped in our old garments? (ways, methods, structures, mindsets, systems)

4. The church needs flame protectors: people who are to protect and guard the fire of Pentecost. The church also needs those who will ignite and incite it. Which of these two do you identify more with? What does it mean to protect the fire of Pentecost? What does it look like to keep it ignited?

5. Read Acts 2:1-4, 17-21. It is very clear that God wants to fill ALL people with His Holy Spirit. If you have received the infilling of the Holy Spirit, describe your experience. How did you know you were filled with the holy spirit? How has the workings of the Holy Spirit manifested in your life?

6. Read Ephesians 1:18. This passage points out 3 things: Know the Hope, Know the Wealth, and Know the Inheritance. Share about the meaning behind each of these things in Christ. How does this differ from the worldview of hope, wealth, and inheritance?

7. Many Christians want heaven on earth but aren’t willing to let go of earth long enough to receive from God. In your Christian walk, what has been the hardest thing to let go of and why? What have you received from God in exchange for some of the things you have had to let go of?

8. If you choose, come up with a plan to gather together over the summer for a meal, bbq, etc! Set a date if you can or pick a way to stay in touch with one another. Group: take a moment to thank your leaders! Close in prayer over your life group leaders.
