Life of David
The study is meant to allow your core group to learn about who God is and who we are through the life of David. He is someone we can often relate to in terms of the struggles, questions, and emotions he has throughout his life. The first five weeks encourages the core group to go deeper than surface level answers and get into the nitty gritty of each others lives. The first two weeks will examine how God sees us, and how we see God. Building off of this foundation, we will learn how we can form biblical friendships, be people of integrity, and bring the fullness of ourselves to God. Most weeks will also include a spiritual exercise to practice with your core group outside of bible study itself. Part two of the study will be released after Spring Break!
