  • Summary

  • Life crises can throw you into a tailspin, a lost job, a failed relationship, a struggling business, a financial mess. Where do you start? How do you pull it together? How do you begin again? Tom Holladay experienced a catastrophe first-hand when a sudden flood in California destroyed his home, his church, and the homes of many church members. Tom and his congregation had to rebuild, and they used the principles in the book of Nehemiah to get back on their feet. Now a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church, Tom will help you discover seven principles for putting it together again that will give you the direction you need to get rolling on that fresh start. Holladay will walk you through seeing every problem as an opportunity, facing the obstacles head on and taking your first step, knowing how to expect and reject opposition, build on your success, and dedicating yourself to the One who rebuilds our souls. The task of starting again can seem impossible. And sometimes you just need to rebuild your confidence and regain a sense of purpose. If you're trying to find the emotional energy, but you just don't have it in you, let Tom Holladay encourage you. He understands how difficult and rewarding the business of rebuilding is.

    BONUS New Series: The Way of a Worshiper: A Saddleback Church Small Group Study
    Nov 5 2022

    Coming November 13th, a brand new series from Pastor Buddy Owens at Saddleback Church.

    Are you looking for God? The pursuit of God is the chase of a life time. In fact, its been going on since the day you were born. The question is: Have you been the hunter or the prey? This small group study is not about music. Its not even about going to church. Its about living your life as an offering of worship to God. Its about tapping into the source of power to live the Christian life. And its about discovering the secret to friendship with God.

    In this four-week study, Buddy Owens, author and teacher, will help you understand the meaning of worship. Through his very practical, engaging, and at times surprising insights, Buddy shares truths from Scripture and from life that will help you understand in a new and deeper way just what it means to be a worshiper.

  • Session 7: Dedicate It To God

    Session 7: Dedicate It To God
    Aug 22 2022

    Where do you get the power to be dedicated? In this episode we look at Jesus's own answer to that important question.

    CATCHING UP/LOOKING AHEAD

    What has been most meaningful to you in what we have studied together during these seven weeks?

    KEY VERSE

    Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

    Romans 12:1

    DISCOVERY QUESTIONS

    1. Are there ways you’ve discovered that help thankful joy take the lead in your life?
    2. How have you seen purity expressed in what you pursue?
    3. How have you personally experienced the truth that the
    4. greatest joy in life comes not from what you get but from
    5. what you give?
    6. What are some specific places you’d like the group to pray
    7. for as you seek to keep your dedication refreshed?

    LIVING ON PURPOSE

    God’s five purposes for each of us are evangelism, discipleship, fellow- ship, ministry, and worship. In this section, we’ll look at how we can take practical steps to fulfill one of those purposes based on the truths we’ve looked at in this study.

    WORSH I P

    Spend some time this next week reviewing and thanking God for the truths that grow out of the book of Nehemiah. Dedicate yourself to living these truths through the power that God gives in Christ.

    PRAYING TOGETHER

    Pray for one another’s needs.
    As you finish this study, talk about whether there is another

    book you’d like to read together and discuss as a group.

  • Session 6: Celebrate To Sustain Your Joy

    Session 6: Celebrate To Sustain Your Joy
    Aug 15 2022

    How are you being restored in order to rebuild? God is working in your life to restore you in order to give you the strength to rebuild. Find out how God is doing so and in what ways.

    CATCHING UP/LOOKING AHEAD

    1. Did you have the opportunity to encourage someone this week? Did God give you some ideas for a ministry to others that can grow out of what he is restoring in your life?
    2. Would you rather celebrate quietly or celebrate loudly?

    KEY VERSE

    “The joy of the LORD is your strength.”

    Nehemiah 8:10

    DISCOVERY QUESTIONS

    1. Is there someone you need to put things right with so you can deepen your celebration in worship?
    2. Describe a time when the truth of God’s Word shone out to you as you worshiped with others.
    3. How have you found celebration in feasting, in sharing with others, or in stillness?
    4. How do you relate to the following sentences from this chapter?

    “You find yourself grinding away at spiritual habits, trying to become more powerful, when the real intent is that you become more joyful. Feeling powerful is not your strength; the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

    LIVING ON PURPOSE

    God’s five purposes for each of us are evangelism, discipleship, fellow- ship, ministry, and worship. In this section, we’ll look at how we can take practical steps to fulfill one of those purposes based on the truths we’ve looked at in this study.

    EVANGELISM

    A burst of joy often comes when we share with someone else the good news of what God is doing in our lives. Go around the group and have each person share the name of someone they’re praying for to begin a relationship with Christ.

    In the week ahead, pray for these people whose names have been shared—that they will come to faith in the Lord Jesus.

    PRAYING TOGETHER

    Pray for this group of people you just mentioned and for one another’s needs.

    Talk about whether there is another book you’d like to read together and discuss after you finish this study next week.
