Summer 2024 Home Group Resources
Following our series covering the whole book of Romans, we’re taking slower pace through Romans 8 in our evening services. The next few Home Group resources will be based around these talks. If you are not able to get to the evening service then talks are available on the website.
w/c 7th Apr Romans: Hope Romans 8
w/c 21st Apr Life in the Spirit – Freedom and Mind. Romans 8 v 1 – 8
w/c 5th May Life in the Spirit – Life and Future Romans 8 v 12 – 25
Spring 2024 Home Group Resources
Our headline theme for the year is Wholehearted Living. Romans gives us the foundation and implications for living this way. As we work through the year we’ll keep coming back to this theme – what does living wholeheartedly for Christ look like in everyday lives?
Our home group studies will follow the pattern of picking up the topic from the Sunday ahead of the home group. This means there won’t be notes for every section of Romans. Each study is linked to the Sunday talk preceding the home group. If people aren’t able to be at the service, then please encourage them to catch up online via YouTube or the talks page on the Belmont Exeter website.
