Shoulder To Shoulder Group Study

Does it feel like life is lonelier and lonelier? Even though the world is more connected than ever? Everyone craves meaningful, life-giving relationships in today's technology-driven era that breeds loneliness. Pursuing a common goal with those around you gets you shoulder-to-shoulder with people who can become great friends! Following Jesus was always meant to be done with others. This new study will help you and the people around you embrace the challenge and beauty of journeying together and find the abundant life God has destined for you!

When you choose to follow Jesus, you don't just gain from a partnership with him; you gain from a partnership with others too!

Bottom Line: people need each other
We’re just not that good at seeing ourselves.
If you let yourself get away with it, you'll never grow beyond it.


There are some partners you need, that are sometimes hard to want.


If David,
Who had the faith to face down Goliath
Who had the character to wait for his rightful place as king...
Who wrote songs to God found in the book of Psalms...
Who was called, “a man after God’s own heart”...

If David,
can get this far off track, you are not immune
This week, reflect:

1. Who calls you out?
2. Who have you invited to be your Nathan?
3. Are you ready to receive it?

Apostle Paul gives the instruction manual for doing this well...
What has God been trying to say to you through others?


What has a Nathan showed up with for you? Maybe it has sounded like...

- "Maybe you should do something about..."
- "Maybe you reconsider..."
- "Maybe you should apologize for..."

Or maybe something else. Has God sent you a Nathan who you’ve been ignoring?
Here's something to remember about being a NATHAN for someone else...

- If it's fun, you’re doing it wrong.
- If it’s at a distance, you’re doing it wrong.
- If it costs you nothing, you’re doing it wrong.

It would seem like its much easier to to be Nathan than David.

Become a Partner!

Every time you give in Jesus’ name, you make a difference in others AND you make a difference in your own life! Partnering together in generosity helps accomplish things together that could never be accomplished alone!

You need partners who speak the truth in love.
You need to be partners who receive the truthaslove.
