How Can Smallgroup.com Help Us Kick-Off Our Fall Groups?

by Tyler Quillet

As summer winds down and more groups begin to pick back up, it often leaves pastors and group leaders wondering what topic to study or what resources to use for their group time. I’d like to share with you a little bit about Smallgroup.com, both what it is and how you can use it, and also some specific series that we think will be a great kick-off to your fall!

First, what is Smallgroup.com? Smallgroup.com is an online Bible study resource. It contains an ever-growing customizable library of over 2,300 text and video-enhanced studies from all 66 books of the Bible.

With a membership to smallgroup.com, you can:

Search a topic or passage to find the study you are looking for.
You can create a whole class or series based on any topic or text you’d like and make it your own.
Right there within smallgroup.com, you can further customize any existing study with your specific teaching points, language, illustrations, church information and logo.
You can align the content to your pastor’s sermon series in minutes.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can “request a study” as part of your subscription. The Custom Bible Study team at Lifeway will write it for you and upload it to the site.

Of particular interest to many group leaders is the ever-growing selection of popular video-enhanced studies from teachers like Priscilla Shirer, J.D. Greear, Beth Moore, David Platt, Matt Chandler, Lisa Harper, and many more. Through a membership to smallgroup.com, you can log in and stream these videos through any web-enabled device or through your Roku®, Amazon Fire®, or Apple TV® apps.

Let’s look at 4 newer series on Smallgroup.com to help us kick-off the fall:

Imago Dei

As You Go

This series covers six passages in the book of Acts to explore what it means to live in a missional fashion.

Devoted

This 6-session series sees that healthy churches and healthy Christians are marked by their focus on God, each other, and witnessing to the lost. We are all called to this same focus.

Love as Our Witness

This 6-session series through 1 John explores our love for God and others in response to His great love for us.

With over 2,300 small group study guides and hundreds of series and video-enhanced studies, we are confident that you will find what you are looking for as you seek to point your groups to Jesus! We are praying for you as you enter into your fall groups!
