Life Group study guide

This guide is designed to guide a group discussion around the weekend sermon. You can also use this as an individual, but we HIGHLY recommend finding a Life Group community to join and live out your faith journey with! Calvary has Life Groups meeting all over using these guides. We’d love to help you find a group.
What you will find in this guide: A discussion guide for groups and individuals. If you are using this as an individual be sure to engage with each question in a journal or simply in your mind as you prayerfully consider what you heard in the sermon and seek to discover what God is inviting you to know and do.

  • How can comfort (or the pursuit of comfort) replace discipline and purpose in our lives?
  • In what ways does a lack of self-control damage a person’s character and integrity?
  • Where are you trying to control things in your own strength?

PRAYER

Pray for your LG throughout the week and for God to continue working and moving in and through Calvary and the churches around the Lake area!
