Weekly Small Group Prep 3/2/25

Dear NBC Family,

Please find attached a Weekly document that will help you better study and apply God's Word.

This week Pastor Dusty Burris will be preaching out of Hebrews 13:1-3.
This includes:

1. Sermon Preparation help - so that you are familiar with and ready to dive deeper into the passage that we will study through this Sunday
2. Small Group Preparation - discussion questions that will help us apply God's word together
3. Bible Memorization content - verses and book themes for the month
4. REACH ministry ideas - the monthly ideas so we can all plan ahead to prioritize evangelism in our community.

Serving Christ alongside of you!
