Jason from Alive

Last night we finished up week 3 of our latest Foundations class at Alive Church. Foundations is a class that equips you with tools necessary to live the Christian life. During week 3 one of the things we discuss is our core value, Doing Life Together, and how that is accomplished through Life Groups. Life Group is one of the most important things in my spiritual journey.

This last week our Life Group started back up after taking the summer off. Due to my work schedule I have been unable to attend group for the last 2 semesters. I did not realize how much I had missed Life Group, and how much of a difference it makes in my life. The people in my Life Group are the first ones to help me in a time of need. They are the ones that we do fun stuff with. This summer we all went to the lake together. It always amazes me at how quickly friendships begin in a Life Group.

Our group is a place where we talk over the weekend teaching and what each of us got out of it. The different perspectives are great. The weekend teaching really comes to life during and after our group. I always walk away with a better perspective of how the teaching relates to my life and the lives of those around me. In our group we often wrestle through things we may have had questions about from the teaching. Every group has its own personality. My group is where I fit, and where I am Doing Life Together with others. I am so excited to be back in a group.

In just a couple weeks the Fall Semester for Life Groups officially begins. This weekend pick up a Life Group booklet and find your group, or go to www.AliveChurch.com and click on the Life Groups tab to get the latest list of groups.If you have questions about what group might be best for you just ask at the Life Group table.

Have you signed up for a group yet? What difference does Life Group make in your life?

I am so excited about this upcoming weekend at Alive Twin Peaks. This weekend is Baptism weekend! We have baptized many people from the Twin Peaks campus in pools in the surrounding community, but this weekend we will be baptizing during our weekend services at the campus. Come join in the celebration as these folks take their Next Step.

This last weekend I had the opportunity to meet some great people at Discover Alive and last night at Foundations. It is awesome to watch as people take their Next Steps. This week at Foundations we spent time talking about the Bible and how to make it part of our daily lives. I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks of Foundations as we continue to look at the tools necessary to living out a Christian life.

At Alive Church we want you to Meet Christ and get Baptized. We want you to attend Discover Alive to find out what Alive is all about and discover the essentials of the Christian faith. We want you to attend Foundations and get equipped with the tools necessary to living out a Christian life. We want you to sign up for a Life Group and be a part of a community where you can connect with others and grow spiritually. We want you to join the Weekend Experience Team and help Alive achieve it’s purpose of “Leading people, who are far from God, to be followers of Jesus. Who are...”. We want you to continue to grow and share your faith with others.

So what is your Next Step?
