New fall studies are beginning soon! There are multiple times available for each, so sign up for the time and study that fits best. Women’s groups begin as early as September 14, and men’s groups begin the week of September 15.
Men’s Fall Breakfast
Men at Magnify at all campuses will be kicking off our fall studies with a big breakfast on Saturday morning, September 13. Register today for a great time of fellowship, teaching, and worship.
TOGETHER IN LIFE
Share with the group: what was your first, last, best, and worst job?
TOGETHER IN THE WORD
Read Ephesians 2:1–10 aloud together.
QUESTIONS
- How does being saved by grace as a gift change your perspective on performance and achievement?
- In what ways does sin affect your own labor and your workplace? Try to be specific.
- What heart work do you need to do in order to better reflect God’s impact on your life?
- How do you pursue excellence in your work? Are you “making good tables”?
- What does it look like to make Jesus known in your workplace? Read Matt. 5:16. Does this describe your work?
TOGETHER IN ACTION
Determine which area of your life needs the most work: heart, excellence, or witness for Christ. Make one change this week to address this area.
Meditate this week on God’s unconditional love for you and His presence in your work.
