Connect Group Menu (Winter 2026)
This is a complete menu semester, meaning that you can choose from the following studies and lessons to build a semester that best fits the spiritual needs of your group. Remember to create a well-balanced semester, trying to give your group enough of what they need while also challenging them to grow.
Lessons are marked by which category they fit into spiritually:
- Milk: Material that any believer can interact with, but that is particular good for people less mature in their faith
- Sandwich: Material that most believers will be able to interact with, with a mix of challenge and familiarity (Most studies will fall into this category)
- Steak: Material that is more challenging and may require more work or maturity of faith. These also include studies that require more of you as a leader (such as leading a traditional Bible study), and some might include “homework” for your group to complete outside of group time.

Holy Habits (4 Weeks)
When God calls us to himself, he sets us apart—he makes us holy. But what does it mean to be holy? What habits define God’s people, no matter where they are on earth or which denomination they are a part of? In this four-session series, pastor Derwin Gray explores four foundational behaviors of Christians. God calls us to a new way of living, one formed by rhythms of holiness.
To the Ends of the Earth (3 Weeks)
Acts 1:8 tells us Jesus’ parting words to his disciples, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” This short study has three teachers who help us to understand the call that Jesus gave both them and us today to be on mission in the world for him.
(NOTE: This is hosted on anthology.study and is NOT an RightNow Media study)
The Scripture Practice (4 Weeks)
We all believe that scripture is vital for the life of a believer, that it is where God shares with us His thoughts, and that it is useful for us even today; but we can also say we don’t engage with it to the level we should given those claims. Over 4 weeks, your group will take on the practice of reading scripture, reflecting on it, and discussing it with your group, so we can all grow into being people more deeply rooted in God’s word.
The Book of Haggai (4 Weeks)
Haggai was a man who prophesied to the Israelites after their return home from their exile in Babylon. As the people worked to rebuild their lives, homes, and culture, they neglected to rebuild the most important structure for their people, the temple. Haggai’s words from God are a loving call to the people to remember the importance of the mission God had called them and their ancestors to, and that call rings out to us today in a new way. While God no longer desires a physical temple, He does desire for His new temple, the body of believers, to be built up. In this series, you will explore what the call to join God in the building of His temple looks like for us here on the other side of the cross.
The Meaning of Marriage (6 Weeks)
This study, based on Tim Keller’s best selling book, is for anyone from singles, to dating couples, to those already married to help us all understand just how important marriage is, and also just how many lies we have been fed about it by our culture. Covering the topics of service, covenant, roles, singleness, sex, and hope, this series aims to help Christians think deeply about the most important relationship in their life besides their relationship with God.
Colossians & Philemon (5 Weeks)
The books of Colossians & Philemon are two short letters by the Apostle Paul near the end of the New Testament, but don’t let the length of them fool you. In both of these letters, Paul teaches about everything from the true nature of Jesus and his preeminence, to how we live out our faith in our homes, to God’s countercultural view of human-made social status. In this 5 week study, you will dive into these topics through the form of a traditional Bible study, so make sure your group brings their Bibles!
