  • Inside the Circle is a four-week group launch experience designed to help people move from sitting in rows to sharing life in circles. The big idea is simple: Inside the Circle is where you belong, where faith grows, and where life happens together. Each week builds on the last, creating space for Scripture, story, discussion, and ownership. The goal is to help participants taste authentic community and understand how their presence, voice, and faith make the group stronger.

  • Icebreaker:

    If your GPS had a celebrity voice, who would you pick — Morgan Freeman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Samuel L. Jackson, Oprah, McConaughey — or someone else?


    1. Detours & Delays

    • Can you think of a time when what felt like a delay or setback in your life later turned out to be protection or preparation from God?

    2. God’s Purposes in the Mess

    • Paul’s chains became his platform. How might God be using something in your life right now that you wish He would just take away?

    3. No One Is Too Far & God’s Appointments

    • In Acts 25, God put Paul before rulers who looked beyond reach, showing that no one is too far gone and that delays are often divine appointments. Who in your life might you be tempted to write off, and what opportunities might God be setting up for you to share hope with them?

    4. Waiting Isn’t Wasted

    • How can this group help you practice faithfulness during seasons of waiting, trusting that God might be using the “pause” to set the stage for something bigger?
