Growth Groups

A place to GROW

Our Vision is that everyone at New Hope would become just as much “at home” in God’s word as in community with God’s people. Through various classes offered throughout North Port Neighborhoods, we are challenging people new to Christianity, and those who are further along in their spiritual journey to participate in a growth group. Growth Groups will not only help you navigate and talk about the Bible clearly, but will help you trust it so you can live out it’s teachings boldly. (Acts 2:42)

The Pursuit of God
(A.W. Tozer)

In the middle of day to day life, have you somehow forgotten that Christianity is a living, vibrant relationship with a personal God? In this classic bestseller and recipient of both the ECPA Gold and Platinum Book Awards, The Pursuit of God reminds and challenges you to renew your relationship with your loving God. In each of the 10 chapters, Tozer explains one aspect of hungering for God and ends with a prayer.

He Chose the Nails
(Max Lucado)

The wood. The thorns. The nails. Christ's sacrifice has defined the very essence of mankind's faith for the past 2000 years. And now, Max Lucado invites you to examine the cross, contemplate it's purpose, and celebrate its significance with He Chose the Nails. With his warm, caring style, Max examines the symbols surrounding Christ's crcifixion, revealing the claims of the cross and asserting that if they are true, then Christianity itself is true. The supporting evidence either makes the cross the single biggest hoax of all time, or the hope of all humanity.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
(Pete Scazzero)

The Christian faith is supposed to produce deep, positive change. So why doesn't it seem to work in "real life"? That question screamed at Pastor Peter Scazzero when his church and marriage hit bottom and every Christian remedy produced nothing but anger and fatigue. As he began digging under the "good Christian" veneer, he discovered entire emotional layers of his life that God had not yet touched. And that emotional immaturity had fed his spiritual immaturity. In this book, he unveils what's wrong with our conventional means of "spiritual growth" and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works, but seven steps to transformation that will help readers experience a faith charged with authenticity, contemplation and hunger for God.
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Workbook

The workbook is designed for use as a companion resource to help begin the journey of applying the profound biblical truths found in the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality book. Used in conjunction with the DVD presentations, the workbook allows you to go deeper into your study of emotional health and contemplative spirituality.

The Daily Office

Designed to help an individual remember God's presence throughout the day, the Daily Office introduces a revolutionary spiritual discipline powerful enough to slow people down amidst the relentless demands of life. Each Office includes time for silence, Scripture, a rich devotional, prayer and a probing question. This eight-week book covers the same themes found in the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality book and workbook.
