Today we sat down with our new  Executive Pastor, Jeff Young, to talk about the importance of LifeGroups.  We also got to know him and hear his heart both as a pastor and as a person.

Favorite Quote: "At its core Lifegroups are about people with people, with Jesus in the middle."

Scripture in this episode 

• Ephesians 4:11-13 " And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,"
• 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."

today we take a deep dive into the philosophy of teaching and a ways to strengthen our life group culture here at CFBC. Our goal is to create a space for Discipleship and Life Change. See below for main points of today's episode. 

What Kind of Space Are We Creating?

• A Welcoming Space a space where from the moment you walk in you feel engaged, embraced, and encouraged.
• A Safe Space a place where you can come and bare your soul without fear of judgment, criticism, or humiliation.
• A Biblical Space this is more than a social club, it is a place where God’s word is the final authority on all life matters…for that reason…we will use bible based curriculum.
• A Sacred Space  This is a place where the Holy Spirit is welcome and where we are yielded to hear him speak.  
• A Communal Space a place where we find common unity… community… family.  
• An Interactive Space
• A Transformative Space
  • Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
