Video Teaching by Gary Smalley I used the Live Like You Were Dying Group Study for my Life Group. It was an amazing way to dramatize to all that our priorities are not in line. I would recommend this series for anyone looking to transform the lives of their small group. —Kevin		LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING™ is a 30-day group study inspired by the Grammy® award-winning song recorded by Tim McGraw that has touched millions with its evocative imagery. This group study is unique because it creates turning-point moments by causing thoughtful reflection on what really matters. It combines an award-winning song that touches our deepest longing for meaning with the timeless truths of God’s Word in a learning experience for the whole church.          This 30-day emphasis involves everyone in you group, builds momentum through multiple reinforcements and includes daily readings to challenge your group members each day of the week. By concentrating on the themes of Loving Deeper, Speaking Sweeter, Giving Forgiveness and Embracing Eternity, your group will build a stronger sense of community and experience spiritual transformation. ........................................................................................................ A GROUP STUDY THAT ENCOURAGES TRANSFORMATION The Bible teaches that we’re not guaranteed tomorrow. So how should we live? This campaign will challenge your members to: 1. Live with a sense of urgency (1 Peter 4:7-8) 2. Live with a sense of eternity (Psalm 90:12) 3. Live with a sense of priority (Ephesians 5:15-17) 4. Give up the frantic pursuit of the “good life” (Matthew 16:25-26) 5. Make more time for relationships (Hebrews 10:24-25) 6. Offer forgiveness (Ephesians 4:32) 7. Celebrate being released from God’s judgment (Romans 8:33-34) 8. Liberate others from your judgment (Romans 14:13) 9. Do the unexpected in love (Matthew 5:39-42) ........................................................................................................ WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THIS GROUP STUDY? The Live Like You Were Dying Group Study is designed to involve your group member in daily thought about living for what matters most in life. The Companion Booklet has been set up for daily readings on each of the study themes – Love Deeper, Speak Sweeter, Give Forgiveness, and Embrace Eternity. These readings are short, but they connect people to God’s Word and give everyone something to think about throughout the day. A complement to Bible study, these readings are designed to be thought-provoking, soul searching, and challenging, creating an environment that allows God to speak to areas of life that need re-prioritizing. The Small Group Lessons specially designed study guides will encourage thoughtful conversation. Every small group session is kicked off with a challenging video lesson by Gary Smalley, founder of the Smalley Relationship Center. His 28 books have sold over 6 million copies. Gary's down-to-earth style of sharing Biblical truths will spur on meaningful conversation in small groups.
