Meeting 1 [Soul] - What do you want?
Icebreaker: Top of mind. First thing in your head.. If you could have anything, what would it be? What do you desire most in your life?
Message: Welcome to the Westchase Generations Life Group. It is a group formed out of love and desire to follow the Trinity of God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. The core of what we will cover will for the most part, be developed from ideas in the Bible, Access Church Messages, and other Christian / Biblically-based Spiritual Disciplines and Practices. This group is for the group, the community; the desire is that it will be a 3rd place, outside work and family, where people in the community can come, to become known, to be accepted, to belong, to be encouraged, to be lifted up, to be inspired, to be all the things a thriving community should be. This group will not be perfect, but the belief that by rooting ourselves in the Truth, we can overcome the world, as Jesus had taught and showed us.
Access’ Mission
We are a church seeking to live life with God in soul, community, and mission.
Soul
God invites us to experience a new life. We are not called to fix ourselves or do enough good to earn his favor. Rather, Jesus has made a way for us to be renewed by his death and resurrection. As we place our faith in Jesus, we are transformed inside and out.
Community
God has created a new community, the church, and we journey together. Even though we are all imperfect, together we can offer one another love, grace, truth and challenge. Together we are learning to live the way that Jesus taught and become a preview of God’s coming kingdom.
Mission
The world is not the way it should be. It has been ruined by human sin. But God invites us to join in his redemptive work bringing healing and restoration to our world.
Rhythm: Soul, Community, Mission
