Not a Hostage for Your LifeGroup
We’re all bound to find ourselves in difficult situations, but we don’t have to be bound to them. You’re not a hostage to fear, pain, and doubt when you have hope, peace, and love on your side.
This one-week message is one you’ll want to share with your LifeGroup October 13-15.

5 Not a Hostage LifeGroup Ideas
- The number one way to get people to come back to LifeGroup is to give them a reason to come back. How can you give away ownership and responsibility to the members of your group?
- Do what your LifeGroup can do together that you can’t do when you’re apart. Here are some things that are difficult or impossible to do when you’re apart: pray together, laugh together, eat together, look each other in the eye and listen, experience God’s presence together, and serve others together.
- If your group is new or you just feel you need some rejuvenation, start the Belong series.
- If you really want to have fun with this series, look for an escape room experience near you and go try it out as a LifeGroup. Nothing reminds you you’re not a hostage quite like breaking out of a locked room together!
- Ask your group this question: What is one part of your life that feels locked-up or stuck? What do you think the key is to getting unstuck?
