First Place 4 Heath: Giving God Control
Many diet experts agree that developing self-control is a
key part of weight management. But better than selfcontrol
is God-control! Through this Bible study, First Place 4
Health members will learn how to let go of their frantic
need to control their circumstances, which often leads to
stress-induced, out-of-control eating. You’ll also take
positive steps toward letting God take over the
management of your mind, emotions, body and spirit.
As Christ moves into first place, life moves into balance.

bodies to work. We’ll learn simple and delicious recipes,

be cooking. Each participant will need to contribute

Discipleship 301: You and the World
This is the third level in NSAG’s Basics of Discipleship Series. These groups are for new and old Christians alike.
So you’re a Christian, but you know Jesus saved you for
more than just keeping a seat warm at church. When God
adopts us into His family He expects us to join the “family
business.” But what is that? And how do you fit in?
Discipleship 301 will show you how to live out our Christian
Faith as a witness to the world around you. We’ll explore
the thread of God’s mission throughout history and equip
ourselves to naturally share God’s Truth with others.
7:00 p.m. Mondays at church

engage your heart and mind. And they’ll enlarge your

Freedom Through God's Acceptance
(for Women)
We are sometimes our own worst enemies. We want to
grow, change, and live the life God has for us. And yet we
put ourselves down and focus on our failures instead of
looking at ourselves the way God looks at us. When we
look at ourselves we loose hope. But when we look to God
and realize that He has accepted us through Jesus we
find the key to living in the freedom Christ bought for us
with His blood. Come learn to live in true freedom!

Exploring the Great Hymns of the Faith
God's word tells us to “speak to one another with psalms,
hymns and spiritual songs” (Ephesians 5:19 NIV). God has
given us so many precious hymns through people like
Fanny Crosby, Horatio Spafford and many more. God
inspired them in the midst of their trials and pains, and He
inspires us through the beautiful words they’ve written. Come worship and grow closer to God as we
explore the great hymns of our faith.

Satisfy My Thirsty Soul (for Women)
As a Christian woman you yearn for intimacy with God.
You long to know His presence, to be satisfied in heart and
soul. You long to be obedient, and do what you know is
right. These longings can be met through worship. As we
learn what it means to bow our knee (the act of worship),
we’ll gain a renewed intimacy with God. And as we learn
to bow our thoughts, words, work, attitudes, will and even
pain (the lifestyle of worship), we’ll be drawn into God’s
holy and life-giving presence—the place where God will
truly satisfy our thirsty souls.

If you want to learn or re-learn the basics of Christian belief and living, this is the group for you.
We grow in Jesus as we seek Him together! In this group
we will learn to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ
through prayer, bible study, worship and other spiritual
disciplines. We will also cultivate a better understanding of
who Jesus is, what He has done for us, and the new life we have through faith in Him.

The Lord's Prayer
Pastor Anders
This LifeGroup is full. Please choose another group.
The Prodigal God
Most of the world has missed the point of this parable. It’s
not just about the lost son who leaves home, but also the
son who is lost without ever running away. The story might
better be called “Two Lost Sons.” We’ll examine the
prodigal son who spent until he had nothing left, the self
righteous elder son who hoarded for himself, and the
father who forgave with reckless abandon. And through it
all we’ll learn about our Father who lavishes love upon his
children and welcomes us back into his loving arms.
7:00 p.m. Fridays at church

What's So Amazing about Grace
Grace is the freely given and unmerited favor and love of
God. And it is amazing! But grace has become a vague,
slippery thing to us because we experience grace so
rarely. Meanwhile, un-grace has taken over our world and
the wonderful power of real grace has been hidden.
Together we’ll explore stories of grace and un-grace to relearn and revive the power of God’s grace in our lives.
Come learn to live in God’s amazing grace!

Abraham:Hearing God's Call
It sounded crazy. God promised Abraham, an old man
with no children, that his descendants would be as
numerous as the stars. And Abraham chose to believe
God, embarking on a transforming, lifelong journey of faith
and obedience. God’s promises and plans for us may
sometimes seem crazy, and we often struggle to put our
faith into action. As we walk through this study of
Abraham's life we'll learn to listen to, obey and trust the
God who always keeps his promises.
7:00 p.m. Fridays in Melrose

Warrior Builders (for Men)
Nehemiah 4:18 records, “each of the builders wore a
sword at his side as he worked.” This group targets men,
who are have a desire to meet for prayer and devotion at
8 a.m. on Saturdays. During this time we will be learning
from King David (a great Warrior) and Nehemiah (a great
Builder). We will then strap on our tool belts and go to work
on the new sanctuary. This is not an open call to all
available volunteers but a “few good men” who are
willing to commit to being Warrior Builders.
8:00 a.m. Saturdays at the church
