Learn how to read stories of hope from the life of Jesus with your friends who don't know him.
WHAT IS A HOPE GROUP?
A Hope Group is an online forum of 3-4 people (maximum) who meet for just over an hour each week, to encourage and support each other.
These groups are not bible studies, and the aim is not to give the ‘right’ answers. We use a simple structure to help you practice thankfulness, share from the heart, and encourage one another using the teachings of Jesus.
1. What are you thankful for?
2. What has been a challenge this week?
3. Read and re-tell a scripture of hope, to inspire deep thinking and heart-felt conversation.
4. What is one practical thing that I can do to bring hope and help to a friend this week?
5. Pray
Even through we read and reflect on scripture, these groups are not just for religious people. They exist to help anyone who is isolated, afraid, or in need of spiritual community. As we read in 2 Cor 1:2-4: “God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.”
