Vision for Winter 2009:
Going through the book of James and focusing on developing deeper relationships with God, with one another, and with those around us.

Importance of Corporate and Personal Vision
- Corporate: Where do we want to go as a cell group?
- Personal: Where am I now and where do I want to be?
- Importance: Direction, helps us to stay on track, not aimlessly wandering

Why Bible Study?
- Hebrews 4:12
- Connect with our God
- Why James? Offers very practical advice on living out the Christian life

Why Small Group?
- Hebrews 10:19-25, Hebrews 12:1-2
- Community, deeper friendships, accountability, and fun!

Basic Approach for Bible Study - 5 Key Steps
1. What is James trying to say to the Jewish Christians?
2. How does this apply in our day, culture, and society?
3. How does this apply to me?
4. What is one thing I will apply this week?
5. Personal Memory Verse(s) for the week

Sharing and Prayer
- Pray for at least one person consistently throughout this week

READ JAMES

What is God trying to tell you this week?

  2. Yea! I'm hoping we can get something going here. I'm definitely open to ideas. At present, this blog is linked to my google account. I'm thinking of putting the summaries as "blog posts" and hopefully, having a lot more discussion in the comments.

    Hey all - post up if you've read these comments.
