Cooperative Learning at Church and out in the Community

Liberty Life Journal

Liberty is digging deeper into the wisdom of God together, and we’re so glad you’ve decided to take on this challenge with us. As we read God’s words together we are more in tune to living our lives the way He has designed us to live them. A systematic daily devotion regimen helps us change the way we think and allows us to be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Truth is, when we face difficult challenges as Jesus did, we begin to respond like Him.

Journaling is an excellent way to both record and process what God has spoken to us. It’s also a useful tool to use at a later time, to reflect on and review some of the ‘gems’ that you have received. Without writing them down, you may forget those blessings and some very important lessons! And while journaling is a very personal time with the Lord, you may want to share some of your daily journaling with your small group or mentors. Through discussion, you may be able to look deeper into what God is speaking to you, gain new insight and even encourage others.

S - for Scripture

Open your Bible to the reading found under today’s date of your Bible bookmark. Take time reading and allow God to speak to you. When you are done, look for a verse that particularly spoke to you that day, and write it in your journal.

O - for Observation

What do you think God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this scripture down in your own words, in your journal.

A - for Application

Personalize what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement, revelation of a new promise, or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.

P- for Prayer

This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say! Now, write it out.

If this seems a little overwhelming, take it slow and keep it simple. No matter how you decide to do your devotions, the important thing is to show up for your daily appointment, because God is always waiting for you!

So join us for the 90-Day New Testament Challenge.  Pick up your very own Liberty Life Journal today (only $12 at the resource centre-to help you stay on track) and let’s read the entire New Testament together in 90 days beginning April 1st!

Are you up for the Challenge?

Huge Blessings,

Home Church

Our home church model addresses the needs for group interaction:

• Build friendships with people of similar interests
• Help grow in my personal faith journey
• Build on foundational biblical principles
• Connect with others in the church community.

At Liberty, we’ve designed a variety of groups to help address these issues. These groups meet each week based on:

• Age
• Gender
• Location
• Interests

Age-specific groups - such as Liberty’s young adults group - meet once a week to discuss the current Teaching Series of our church, as well as engage with one another in prayer and accountability.

Keep checking this page - and your Liberty eNewsletter Updates for when the next learning group series begins in our affinity groups.

Other Learning Group Examples:

• Alpha program
• Marriage/family enrichment courses
• Financial planning courses
• Book groups

If you have a hobby or a favorite sport, let us know and we’ll help you find a group of people with similar interests.
