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 (LG's) are a gathering of 6 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 times 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 Table at any one of our Sunday worship experiences or email us at our contact page.

THIS WEEK'S LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS

Life Group Questions: Sunday December 4, 2022
 
“The Heart of Christmas: Hope is at the Heart"
 
1. Review the illustration used in Sunday’s message about the two women who were having lunch in an elegant hotel restaurant to celebrate the birth of their sons, but didn’t bring him along because “it would have been inconvenient.” Compare this to how culture treats Christmas today, with Jesus as an afterthought, or not even thought of at all. What emphasis is currently being placed on Christmas in the world’s view? How has this changed throughout the course of your life (vs. how it was when you were a kid)? 
 
2. Hope will drive us to do and believe for things far greater than the human mind can conceive. How would you define hope in your own words? As a group, make a tangible list of things you are hoping for, both individually and as a group.
 
3. Read Isaiah 9: 2-7. Some of us may have heard verses 6-7 quoted at Christmas time. How does reading those verses within the context of the rest of the passage change the way you read it now?
 
4. The Isaiah passage makes 2 major statements: the acknowledgement of brokenness and the hope of an eternal light. What do these statements teach us about our own issues, circumstances, or trials? 
 
5. Read Matthew 1: 22-23. These events took place to fulfill the prophecy from the Old Testament, which claimed there would be a child born as a hope for all people. How is Jesus’ birth the fulfillment of long-awaited hope?
 
6. Christmas is a reminder that whatever it is we hope for in our lives-healing, restoration, forgiveness, or a fresh start-it is available to us through Immanuel, God with us. Jot down 2-3 things you have experienced God’s presence and faithfulness this year and then share at least one of those things with the group.  
 
7. Review the example given in the message about the Agave Americana, which can lie dormant for 20-30 years, but then rise into the sky growing 7 inches per day. Eventually, this plant reaches 20-40 feet high! What does this remind of when looking for promises of God that remain unseen? 
 
8. Read Romans 15:4. How do the prophetic fulfillments leading to the Christmas story strengthen your trust in God related to what has yet to happen?
