WEDNESDAY NIGHT GROWTH GROUPS

6:00-7:15pm  |  Cost: $10

GROWTH GROUPS BEGINNING AUGUST 13

  • Daring Joy (Women’s Study): Tabitha Dowdy Original Fellowship Hall (Mark Briggs’ Classroom)

    In this 7-session Bible study, Nicole Zasowski draws from her experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist to point you to the enduring joy Jesus promises. Through the examples of six women in the Bible who model both the vulnerability of joy and the power of celebration, you’ll see that God longs for you to embrace abundant joy! Don’t miss out on your beautiful, God-given life because you’re busy preparing for the worst.

  • Meaning of Marriage: Bryce and Karen Powers - Room 2225 FH

    Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate, that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage, that marriage does not mean “’til death do us part” but merely lasts as long as personal needs are being met, and that when serious differences arise, divorce is the best solution. However, all of these modern-day assumptions miss what marriage is truly about. Join Bryce and Karen Powers as they work through The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller.

  • Full Circle Parenting: Travis and Licia Massa - Room 2230 FH

    Parenting isn’t for wimps. It’s not just the routines, schedules, discipline, and heartaches—it’s the hard conversations. Using the 3 Circles gospel tool (God’s design; brokenness; gospel), Jimmy and Kristin Scroggins will give you a “conversation map” to work through any tough conversations you have with your children, and will show you how it works with topics such as gender, sexuality, and marriage, technology, alcohol and substance abuse, bitterness, forgiveness, and restoration, and friendship and mean kids.

  • Character Still Counts: Mike Madewell - Room 2234 FH

    In a world of social media snapshots and cable news sound bites, we’re often more concerned with our outer image than we are with our inner make up. But in the end, integrity trumps image. You can look good on the outside without being good on the inside. If you long to commit yourself to what matters most—the content of your character—join bestselling author James Merritt as he explores 13 overlooked traits that form the bedrock of a godly life and a good society. Along the way, you’ll encounter surprising role models—flawed people who failed spectacularly, overcame adversity, and went on to live lives worth imitating. In a world that has abandoned the virtues and values that matter, this book offers a clarion call to return to a simple message: Character still counts. It always has, and it always will.

  • The Man Journey (ReUp Men’s Study): Ron Pendergrass - The Loft

    The Man Journey is a 12-week focus on discovering the answer to the vital questions… What Is A Biblical Man? The Man Journey will take you on a discovery of the three truths of a Biblical man and gain a clear definition of biblical masculinity. The Man Journey is a weekly experience where you discover the essentials of biblical manhood taught through video teaching, digital or printed content, and grow discussions that build authentic community.

Learn more and sign up at fbct.org/growthgroups.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT GROUPS

  • Beatitudes of Jesus (Large Group) - Pastor Ronny - Faith Sanctuary
    History is filled with famous sermons, but few are as inspiring as Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount, preached on the beautiful hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee, known as the Mount of Beatitudes. In this pivotal sermon, Jesus shared profound statements called the Beatitudes, teaching his followers how to live and relate to others. Join Pastor Ronny for a special Bible study series on the Beatitudes of Jesus, starting Wednesday, August 13, at 6:00pm. This study will be held in the historic Faith Sanctuary. We hope you’ll participate and study with our pastor and fellow church members how Jesus’s timeless sayings can transform our lives today!

We’d love for you to like and follow us on social media! It’s a great way to stay up-to-date and connected with our First Family! When you visit us for in-church worship, we’d love for you to check-in! This is a great way to invite others to join you! Or if you’re at home or in-person, take a photo of what worship looks like where you’re at and who you’re with and tag us!
