LIFEGROUPS AT TERRANOVA

LIFEgroups are TerraNova’s groups of 8-16 people who get together to learn about the Bible, grow, and enjoy each other. They are SMALL groups that have a BIG impact. And here’s why:

 We weren't made to do life alone. God created us to depend on one another and to carry each other’s burdens. Anxiety, fear, and change can push us to withdraw from people even more, which is why being in a group could be one of the very best things you could do for yourself as this we enter the spring. It’s also one of the best things you can do for the people around you.  “Showing up” for others is a core practice of group life, where we enter into the blessing of making a difference in the lives of other people. We all have our story, and that story will matter for the people in your group!

Are your ready, then? Spring LIFEgroups begin in February and last through the middle of April (depending on the group). So, it’s a short-term commitment! While we offer a wide variety of groups, each will be the same in that they will be based on connecting, studying the scriptures, and praying for one another.

Many of our groups will be connecting around The Good Life: A Study of the Beatitudes.  Groups will seek the answers to this question: “What is the good life?” or “What does it look like to flourish in life?”

So then, what is the good life? Is it about people (family, friends, lovers), or possessions (houses, jewelry, electronic gizmos, Cybertrucks) or experiences (travel, thrill rides, fine food and drink)? Any sort of advertising would tell you that it is.

But here is the thing that we all know: the good life is not about being healthy and rich and popular and mobile and free to take vacations whenever you want. The world is full of people who have those things and they are miserable.

What does Jesus say that the good life is? His answer is contained in what we know as The Beatitudes. In it, Jesus reveals who we are, who we ought to become, and how we get there. With the Beatitudes, Jesus is offering and inviting his listeners into the way of being in the world that will result in their true and full flourishing- beginning now and for always.
