This is a small group focused on reading through the book by Dan Kimball titled “ How Not to Read the Bible” each month at 5pm on the first Saturday of the month starting on December 3, 2022. The intent is to discuss 1 part of the book per session. If there's a lot of good conversation around a single part, we'll extend the subject over multiple sessions. Discussion sessions will be virtual and an email chat will get rolling once the group begins.

Promise Principle

The Promise Principle | Women | Andrea Schapp &

Eagan

Friday at 6:30 AM • Virtual

You are welcome here! This is a "join at any time" women's group. The Promise Principle is a powerful tool to teach women how to hear the voice of God through reading the Bible. It calls ladies to a daily connection with God in which He speaks clearly through His Word and promises transformation, power and direction in our everyday lives. The Promise Principle experience propels women forward, igniting a passion to seek, hear and obey God's voice, therefore inspiring those around us to follow Him. Text the word "promise" to 94000 or use the link below to read more about The Promise Principle and see our weekly reading plan (this link will bring you to the men's Promise Principle site - even though this is a women's group we will follow the men's Promise Principle reading plan): http://leaders.rivervalley.org/promise

The Promise Principle | Mike Watson & Levi Watson

Apple Valley

Tuesday at 6:30 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.
