Weekly Life Groups

2025 Fall Life Groups Begin Sept 3

Life Group 1

Mining the Depths of God’s Preached Word

Time: Wednesday at 6:30 PM
Place: Church Building
Leader: Raymond Duggan
(817) 907-2084 |

Join us on Wednesday evenings at the church building to dig into God's Word that is being preached each Sunday. If we truly value expository preaching, then how often do we even consider this specific passage in our daily lives and the rest of the week. My desire is for us to seek the Lord in His Word and make this a vital part of our lives as we walk our daily path and as
we lie down at night and as we rise to greet the day that the Lord has made.

Children are welcome. Childcare to be determined at the beginning of the study based on need.

Life Group 2

To the Praise of His Glorious Grace

Time: Wednesday at 6:45-8:00 PM
Place: The Knox Home 7648 Little Mexico Rd. Temple
Leader: Loren Benson
(254) 598-0177 |

Paul had an effective missionary presence in Ephesus and, as a result, many people came to Christ. Years later, after being imprisoned by the Romans, he wrote the letter we know as Ephesians to the church there. In this study we will learn that the Gospel should affect the way we live our lives personally, in our communities, and with our families. In an interesting paradox Paul challenges the Ephesians and us, to become what we are; that is, since we are already adopted children of
God because of his free grace to us in Christ, we must now become all that such children should be. Questions will be provided for each session.

Children are welcome but no childcare will be provided.

Life Group 3

Inductive Study of Colossians

Time: Wednesday at 6:30-8:00 PM
Place: The Aaron Home 736 McKay Ln., Salado
Leader: Dirk Aaron
(254) 534-4047 |

The letter overflowing with the Glory of Christ and the sufficiency of His work for our salvation. In an inductive study, we learn to observe the text carefully, interpret it faithfully, and apply it personally. We'll discover how the indicatives (what God has done in Christ) lead us to the imperatives (how we live in response). I pray this deepens our understanding and strengthens our obedience, keeping us rooted in the Gospel. Colossians shows us that Christ is the supreme over all creation, all wisdom, all
powers, and all of life - and that we are complete in Him. Each week we will challenge our minds, stir our hearts. and
encourage our walk with Christ. Come ready to dig deep. This is a rich opportunity to grow together, encourage one another, and be equipped for faithful living.

Children are welcome. Childcare to be determined based on the need when the study begins.

Our Purpose for Weekly Life Groups

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near (Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV).

In our Life Groups, our shared life and gatherings will be guided by the following goals:
  1. Meet God through his Word Faithfully and Expectantly. (Psalms 19:7-11; 2 Peter 1:3,4)
    The Bible will play a central role in our Life Groups because it holds the words of life. We need God’s Word more than we need food, and there are always more riches to be seen, enjoyed and applied to our lives. Our desire is for each participant to study the Scriptures expectantly, with the eyes of faith, anticipating God to speak and move each time we open his book.

  2. Prayerfully Depend on the Lord. (Philippians 4:6,7; Hebrews 4:14-16)
    Prayer will be the regular, visible engine of our Life Group Communities. We will look to God for everything we need, never taking his provision for granted. When we are alone and when we are together, we will be a people of prayer – always adoring, always confessing, always thanking, always asking.

  3. Worship God in Song. (Psalm 9:2; Ephesians 5:19)
    Singing has a unique way of bringing our heart, soul, mind, and strength together to focus entirely and completely on our Mighty God. In an age of distraction, singing grabs the attention of all our senses and focuses us on God.

  4. Know and Serve One Another Persistently. (1 Thessalonians 2:7,8; Hebrews 3:12,13)
    Week-in and week-out, we will work to know each other more and more deeply – sharing our hearts and lives, praying for one another, asking questions and bearing one another’s burdens. And, with everything we learn about each other -- good, bad or otherwise -- we will strive to love and serve one another, meeting each others needs, encouraging growth and helping one another to thrive.

  5. Pursue Disciples for Jesus Boldly and Globally (Matthew 28:19,20; Acts 1:8)
    Our commission from Jesus is clear. Go and make disciples. God saved us in order to send us. We will strive to be lights in a world of darkness and despair. We are God’s chosen means of spreading the Good News and winning worship for himself in every corner of the earth. Therefore, we are to be bold where we are, and we are eagerly behind what God is doing among the nations!
