Because of You

by Jason

Know The Series

This one-week message will help your group understand Life.Church Digital Missions, including YouVersion, Church Online, and the free resources we give to churches around the world. Bobby Gruenewald, our innovation leader, traveled the world to gather stories of all the work that’s happening—Because of You.

Bobby will talk about these themes:

• How lives are changing around the world at an incredible scale
• How your generosity is making this work possible
• How Life.Church’s vision goes far beyond a building

Talk It Over

Prepare in advance for your discussion by picking and choosing the right conversation starters and questions for your group.

Learn More About Digital Missions

We believe the local church is the hope of the world. That’s why everything Life.Church creates is made for the “capital C” Church, too. The resources and products we create for our church, we also give away to help churches everywhere lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Learn more about Digital Missions.

Your LifeGroup

The Message version of Mark 4:25 states, “Generosity begets generosity.” We believe we should lead the way with irrational generosity. We truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive. As Bobby talks about the ways our church is generous with the world because of you, talk with your group about ways you can be generous in your local community. Is there something you can do as a group to volunteer with a local missions partner? Or, maybe you can take on a monthly service project for a family experiencing need? Ask your community leader about opportunities to Connect Locally.

Bible Plan

Celebrate the YouVersion Bible App by putting it to use! The Impact of Scripture is a Bible Plan created by Life.Church to explore the role Scripture can play in our everyday lives. The plan was translated in partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators into the most popular languages in The Bible App. Give it a read.
