Small Group Life Awaken: The Glory in Being Fully Alive guides group members through the phases of coming alive—unearthing truth, accepting that it applies to us, desiring what can be ours, exploring what it will take, embracing it as our own, and thriving when we put what we've discovered into use. The beauty is that this cycle of "awakening" is a continuous one. Our God is a God of creation, growth, and making things new. And full revelation of this fact makes a life with the Lord an exciting one.

Episode 6 leads small groups through six areas of the spiritual journey to live life fully awake, aware of the presence of God, be available for His purposes, and discover who we are truly meant to be. Ephesians 5:14 commands all sleepers to awake, but it's so easy to fall into the rut of focusing solely on what's right in front of us.

Innovative and engaging, Small Group Life offers the casual, comfortable feel of a small group dynamic while providing sound Biblical teaching rooted in Scripture. Designed to be provocative and conversational, a sense of community is cultivated where hearts come alive and relationships grow!
