Sunday (Childcare Provided)
C – Foundations – Led by Latrael Mayo – Meets at 11AM in the Church Office Conference Room – Begins October 6
This is a foundational class for anyone, whether a new believer or who has been a Christian for a while. Have you ever wondered why some people keep growing in their faith, yet others seem to stay stuck or even go backwards? It all comes down to foundations. The foundation must be established in Christ to build on. But if the foundation is lacking, the building will inevitably fail. Most of us know this feeling of defeat, personally. God wants so much more for us, that's why in His Word, He's laid out the exact building blocks we need to develop an unshakeable faith.
In Foundations, you'll learn what the building blocks are and how to build your life on them so you can weather whatever storms life throws at you. Whether you’re just starting as a new believer in Christ or you need to go back and fix some cracks, it's time to expedite your spiritual growth by building the right way with the firm foundation. This study is based on Hebrews 6:1-3. This is an 8 week class covering: repentance from dead works, faith towards God, the doctrine of baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.” Join us anytime.

LG – Authority to Heal by Dr. Randy Clark – Led by Regina Terry and various leaders – 6:30PM – Meets in the Trailer Room # 1 – (Co-Ed) - Begins October 2nd
The Supernatural Quest to Restore Your Lost Birthright! The Bible is filled with divine healing! From cover to cover, Scripture reveals many miraculous healings where the sick, terminally ill, and even the dead are restored to wholeness. So how did healing—something natural for Jesus and the early church—become unfamiliar and controversial? In the Authority to Heal study guide, Randy Clark takes you on an interactive journey where he reveals the historical facts behind what happened to the practice of divine healing and shares Biblical truths and surprising testimonies from church history. Through the interactive exercises and daily readings, you will learn how to:
• Recognize and overcome deceptions that block the flow of God’s power
• Unlock your inheritance of healing authority
• Deepen your understanding of God’s goodness through His signs and wonders
• Access the same power in which Jesus, the early church and Spirit-empowered miracle-workers throughout history walked
LG - Empowered Living – Led by Pastor Jim Taylor and various leaders – 6:30PM – Meets in the Worship Center - (Co-Ed) Ongoing group - Join anytime
Living out of who we are in our relationship with God and with others. This is a time where we will learn and discuss how to apply “Christ in us” to every area of our life. We will develop the ability to hear God in our daily lives in order to better serve and love those around us. This semester we’ll be covering the book, Driven by Eternity: Make Your Life Count Today & Forever by John Bevere. One day you will stand before God and give an account of your life. The most important question you can ask yourself now is: will you be ready? Most Christians know their response to the cross determines where they will spend eternity. But did you know that how you’ll spend eternity is determined by what you do in this life? God wants you to discover your calling—He’s not trying to keep you in the dark. In fact, He longs for you to find the meaning and purpose that comes with knowing why you’ve been placed on this earth. In this book, John uses an eye-opening allegory and extensive Scripture to unveil how our daily choices shape our eternal existence. Life beyond the final breath is much more than a destination. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Discover your God-given destiny and make your life count both today and forever. Everyone is welcome.
LG – Gifts of The Spirit by Derek Prince – Led by Martha Ainsworth and Carole Cantrell – 6:30PM-7:45PM – Meets in the Church Office Living Room – (Co-Ed)
The Powerful Gifts Available to You. Every believer has been given at least one supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit. Do you know which you have and how to operate in it? Internationally renowned Bible teacher Derek Prince explains that any believer who is not manifesting gifts of the Spirit is living far below the level of God’s provision for his life. Prince reveals how to: Minister to others through the gifts, Discern the counterfeit, Witness through spiritual gifts, and how to stir up the gift within you.
One of our greatest necessities in the church today is to demonstrate through the power of the Spirit that Jesus is alive and that His gospel is true. The world needs to see the manifestation of the presence of God. Believers need the ministry of the body of Christ through spiritual gifts. The Gifts of the Spirit reveals how we can fulfill both of these needs—practically and powerfully.
LG – “Good News” Group – Led by Frank and Wendy Allen – 6:30PM – Meets in Jim’s Office – (Co-Ed)

LG - Think about THAT for a Minute! Volume 1, By Kelly K – Led by Jonathan Palmer – 6:30PM – Meets in Trailer Room # 5 (Co-Ed) Begins October 2nd
Think about that for a Minute is a Bible Study unlike any you've ever read before! Taking a different scripture each day and looking at it from a completely new angle, letting the Word of God truly transom your life one day at a time. Easy enough for a middle schooler to read and deep enough to keep even a seasoned Pastor's attention, this daily Bible study will encourage you, bless you, and grow your hunger for the Word of God! Each lesson can be completed in under 5 minutes, so you can get in to the presence of God anytime, anywhere. The Bible tells us in Psalms 1 that if we meditate on His Word Day and night, we will prosper in EVERY season of our lives! That is the goal and purpose of this book. It truly is as easy as picking a scripture each day, and think about it for a minute! So, with a daily scripture, daily challenge, and a prayer, in 40 days you will have a deeper understanding of the Love God has for you, AND you will have stepped into a promise God made to you, to live a blessed life by simply, thinking about THAT for a Minute!

Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to them. Matthew 5:6, tells us the blessings of those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
In Psalm 63, A psalm of David, when he was in the Desert of Judah, he said, You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. And God said of David, he is a man after my own heart. My prayer and hope through this Life Group is that we would be a woman after God’s own heart, seeking Him in all that we do in our daily lives. We’ll do this through: learning what it means to minister to the Father’s heart, discussing His word, encouraging each other in love and how to be disciples of Jesus, and learning to disciple others in our daily lives. Ladies, we’re diving into the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Join us and bring a friend. Contact Regina Terry at 601-591-1154 to be added to the text list through GroupMe. Blessings!

- Begins 8/28 - The first 6 Weeks, we will be doing “Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table: It's Time to Win the Battle of Your Mind” by Louie Giglio - Discover how to break free from the chains of negative thinking and experience true freedom from unhealthy thoughts and emotions. The Enemy is constantly seeking to fill your mind with destructive and harmful thoughts—whether of fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety, temptation, envy. . . It’s all too easy for Satan to manipulate his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and Jesus, and to try making himself at home in your mind. It’s an ongoing battle, but one you can win! In Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, bestselling author and pastor Louie Giglio shares practical ways to overcome the Enemy’s lies and instead find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. By drawing from Psalm 23 as a framework, he offers biblical insight on how to . . .
- Cancel the lies that will wreck your life.
- Take empowering steps to live fully alive in Christ.
- Stop the spiral of shame, temptation, and insecurity.
- Restore peace and rest in your life.
- Embrace the true purpose behind your journey through challenging circumstances.
- Break free from the endless cycle of destructive thinking.
- Begins Oct 9 - The second 6 weeks, we will be doing “The Bait of Satan” by John Bevere. Are you compelled to tell your side of the story? Do you fight thoughts of suspicion or distrust? Are you constantly rehearsing past hurts? Have you lost hope because of what someone did to you? The Bait of Satan exposes one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God--offense. This trap restrains countless Christians, severs relationships, and widens the gulfs between us. Jesus said, "It is impossible that no offenses should come” (Luke 17:1). Although you will encounter offense, you can choose how you will react. John Bevere shows you how to identify the traps ahead of you and escape the victim mentality. With declaration-style prayers and testimonials from people whose lives have been changed by his message, this book will inspire you to stay free from offense and its destructive power. Don’t let anyone affect your relationship with God!

Friday – (No Childcare)
LG – Women Seeking God – Led by Robin Holder and Wendy Strickland – 10AM – 12PM – Meets at The Pointe Church Office Living Room and The Spot in Brandon every other week - Join anytime
Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to them. Matthew 5:6, tells us the blessings of those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
In Psalm 63, A psalm of David, when he was in the Desert of Judah, he said, You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. And God said of David, he is a man after my own heart. My prayer and hope through this Life Group is that we would be a woman after God’s own heart, seeking Him in all that we do in our daily lives. We’ll do this through: learning what it means to minister to the Father’s heart, discussing His word, encouraging each other in love and how to be disciples of Jesus, and learning to disciple others in our daily lives. Ladies, we’re diving into the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Join us and bring a friend. Contact Regina Terry at 601-591-1154 to be added to the text list through GroupMe. Blessings! The Church Office address is 1120 Star Rd, Brandon, MS 39042 and The Spot address is: 223 Tamberline St, Brandon, MS 39042.

Common Questions?
WHAT HAPPENS AT A LIFE GROUP MEETING?
You’ve probably seen life groups meeting and not even realized it. A life group looks like friends at lunch or people studying a book or topic of interest. At its core, a life group is a gathering of people, and it is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. By participating in life groups, you can expect to connect with others through a common study, engage in life giving conversation and prayer.
HOW OFTEN DOES A LIFE GROUP MEET?
Our life groups meet for three semesters a year—winter/spring, summer, and fall. During the semester, most groups meet once a week. Life groups are meant to bring meaning and community into the flow of your life so even if you can’t attend every, single meeting, there is still great value in joining a group. During the in between semesters, we have a few continuous (ongoing) groups. These will be posted at the Information Counter and on the Website
WHERE DO LIFE GROUPS MEET?
Life groups meet in places like homes, restaurants, coffee shops and at the church.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL LIFE GROUP STAY TOGETHER?
Most life groups meet for a semester. This way, new people can join groups easily and regularly. Also, the semester format allows you to try multiple groups each year. As relationships form, some groups choose to stay together for consecutive semesters, but new members are always welcome.
IS THERE CHILDCARE AVAILABLE?
Childcare is available for our Wednesday and Sunday morning during services and night Life Groups that meet at the church. Each day will indicate whether we have childcare available or not.
WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE THE FIRST GROUP I TRY?
The truth is, not everyone will find the best fit with the first group they try. This is why we encourage you to select a few groups that interest you, contact the leaders and try out a couple different groups before choosing the best one for you. The simple strategy to finding success in life groups is to not give up. We believe there is a group that is right for everyone—including you!
