No matter what we achieve or how much we gain, ‘success’ can always feel out of reach. In the midst of our anxious and exhausted culture, Jesus invites us to redefine success on his terms. In the Kingdom of God, success is not about what we have but who we are becoming…
This small group video series based on Pete Portal’s book, How to be (Un)Successful, will help you and your community to explore true success, looking at the life and teachings of Jesus.
In the first session of the series, we’ll talk about how following God’s calling might look to others like wasting your life.
In the second session, we’ll be exploring how our desire to feel truly seen can’t be met by achieving relevance, but only in deep friendship.
In the third session, we’ll explore how being kind - even when it makes us unseen or unsuccessful - may be the greatest influence we can have.
In the fourth session, we’ll explore how different ways of dealing with pain can deeply impact our lives – either transferring it to others, or taking it to God and allowing him to transform it.
In the fifth session, we’ll be exploring the idea that to follow Jesus is to be concerned with the social, economic, and political conditions in this world, and that dismantling injustice is actually God’s prescription for our own flourishing.
In the sixth and final session, we'll explore the ideas of resurrection power and participatory suffering: how churches engage with them, and how to balance both in our lives.
