Below, you can access each week's suggested scripture reading and discussion guide for our connection groups. We also linked some bible study resources to help you as you study, prepare and share.

Pre-group Readings

These readings are listed so you can come prepared and enhance your group discussion. We know life can get busy, so we have tried to give options to help you prepare for your group based on your time and how deeply you desire to go.

Focus Scripture Main passage for discussion.

Survey Reading Some extra context.

Week Four

Luke 1:26-56

Discussion Guide

We hope the discussion guides help groups facilitate healthy conversation around that weeks sermon text. We currently utilize the texts provided by the Narrative Lectionary to help us walk through the entire narrative of scripture over a three-year cycle. Each year, we will go through the Old Testament, a Gospel account, and some New Testament letters/writings.

Advent Devotional

During Advent, we have prepared a devotional guide to help you dig deeper. There is a weekly reflection and three days’ worth of readings and questions that you can do as your schedule allows. We hope this devotional guide is a blessing to you and your connection group.

Study Resources

We are called to a faith practiced in community. Like your conversations with your connection group, engaging other believers' and scholars' knowledge of scripture is helpful. It might help to consider reading commentaries and guides as sitting down for coffee with someone you can't do that with. You may agree or disagree on some things. Still, it challenges you to open your heart/mind to where you might have a blind spot, helps you better communicate your understanding, and enables you to grow in your walk with Christ. Below, you will find resources we trust as you study God's word in preparation for your connection group.
