Reckless Faith Community Groups
In a world where we tend to be over-cautious about nearly everything, it’s no surprise that our obsession with safety can carry over to how we live our faith in the world. But it’s always been risky to follow God, and we are missing a vital part of our faith when we play it safe.
Community groups for our next 8-week sermon series, Reckless Faith, will begin the week of January 6.
Be a part of a Reckless Faith Community Group: Register Now!
Reckless Faith books will be available for purchase this Sunday in the Shoreline lobby.

This is our fifth week studying Compassion and the story of Christ’s gift to the world. This Sunday, we talked about the Wise Men visiting Jesus (Matthew 2:1-12). The bottom line for this week is that God loved you first. How will you love Him?

If you haven’t added it already, the Parent Cue is available on iPhone and Android devices. Search for Parent Cue App by Rethink Group. Also you can add Anchor Bay on Facebook (Anchor Bay Kids) and on Twitter (@AnchorBayKids)!
Yesterday was our last day collecting H2GO funds through Compassion International to help provide clean water filters to families in Uganda. Thank you for your help and support! Be praying for the families that will receive these buckets that their lives truly would be changed by the love of Christ.
I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas this last week! Have a blessed New Year!

Memorize/Reflect: “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
Prayer Direction: Pray for the light of Jesus to shine through you into the lives of every person you meet. Pray for Shoreline Church to shine bright with the light and love of Jesus.
“Live It!” Challenge: For the next week, try to pray for every Christian church you drive past. Ask God to use that congregation to shine His light in our community and around the world.
Community Group Resources:
What is the function and value of a lighthouse along a rugged coastline? How can Christians and churches serve as lighthouses for people facing storms in this life?
Read: Matthew 28:16-20 and Acts 1:1-9
1. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. In these passages, He is giving final instructions to His followers before He would ascend up into heaven. Final words are very important! What does Jesus tell His followers to do in these passages?
2. How do these closing words of Jesus inspire His people, today, to continue the work of reaching the world with the good news of Jesus?
3. What gets in the way of us fulfilling this call to reach out to the whole world with the gospel of Jesus Christ?
4. What will help us be prepared and ready to share the love, grace, and message of Jesus in one of these places:
• In our home and family,
• At work or school,
• In our neighborhood,
• In social settings,
• In some other area of your life.
Read: Matthew 28:16-20 and Matthew 9:35-38
5. What do you learn about the heart and habits of Jesus in this passage? How can our hearts and habits be more like Jesus?
6. What do you think Jesus is getting at when He says, “The harvest is plentiful”? What is He saying when He declares, “The workers are few”? Do you believe these spiritual realities that Jesus declares are just as true today as they were when Jesus walked on this earth?
7. What are ways we can move the local church (God’s people gathered) out into the harvest fields (as we are scattered during the week)? What are some of the outreach opportunities at Shoreline Church? How can we get more involved in these opportunities to follow the call of Jesus to enter the harvest fields?
8. What is one way your Community Group can partner with Shoreline’s Community Outreach ministry in the coming month? How might you engage in reaching out together as a Community Group?

This is our fourth week studying Compassion and the story of Christ’s gift to the world. This Sunday, we looked at how God showed his love to us by giving us His Son (1 John 4:9-12). The bottom line for this week is that God showed the world His love. How will you show the world?
While this will be a busy and family-fun week for everyone, there is a new Parent Cue as well as a new God Time Card.
If you haven’t added it already, the Parent Cue is available on iPhone and Android devices. Search for Parent Cue App by Rethink Group. Also you can add Anchor Bay on Facebook (Anchor Bay Kids) and on Twitter (@AnchorBayKids)!
We have 1 more week of collecting H2GO funds through Compassion International to help provide clean water filters to families in Uganda. Each filter costs $79 and provides 1 million gallons of clean water. To raise enough money for 3 buckets, we need $237. Lets see what God can do!
Christmas is only 2 days away! Have a Merry Christmas!
