Formation: Building a Stronger Foundation is a young adult Bible study that 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!

About (Episode 1) Formation:
This introductory Episode of Small Group Life was created to take everyone in your small group on a journey into their own spiritual formation. Because we are spiritual beings, created for an eternity, we are always in the process of being formed spiritually. Every thought we hold, every decision we make, and every action we take each contributes to who we become. In this way, life becomes God's customized curriculum for each of us. But, as in every story, ours also has a villain who works tirelessly to de-form what God intends to work for the good.

Topics:

• Purpose
• Enemy
• Redemption
• Atonement
• Mystery
• Community
