happens in a small group. It is called a Victory group.
We strongly encourage everyone to be involved since

A Victory group meeting has three sections: Cc,
W, and P, and ideally lasts from forty to
sixty minutes.
ConneCt (5-10 ms)
Victory group meetings begin with a time to relate with
one another. Depending on the people who comprise
the group, this can be done through a variety of ways:
Fusuch as a cebreaker actvt

If it is a promise, teach them to claim it. If it is a command or a

M gu.9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and
a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that
plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of
money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager
for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced
themselves with many griefs. 1 TimoTHy 6:9,10
In these two verses, notice all the dangerous words
used t descrbe e ad thse eager fr t. Hwever,
just because something is dangerous does not meant s -lts fr Chrstas. Cars ca be dagerus
thousands die from automobile accidents every year.
That does not mean we should not drive a car; it simply
means we should drive with caution.

19Do not store up for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where
thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and
rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not
break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.mATTHEW 6:1921
Money is much more than an economic issue; it is a
heart ssue. Jesus sad, Where ur treasure s, there
