Relationships Shape How We Grow in our Faith

Life Groups are more than just the idea of a classroom setting. We believe growing in our faith is much more than an intellectual experience. Through relationships and connecting with others, our Life Groups form the community of our church.

We go through life together. It is where friendships are born, where laughter and tears are shared, and through this growth, these life challenges are prayed over and experienced together. In these dynamic relationships, we not only learn about God, but the experiences we share including Bible study, form a tightly-woven tapestry of relationships that will last for eternity.

Since our Grey Stone Family includes a variety of people in all walks of life, we have many Life Group options. There are groups for every age and stage of life to suit the needs of our diverse family. All groups are open to all and cover a variety of resources for Biblical literacy, spiritual growth, and tackle real-life applications!

EXPLORE THE BIBLE THROUGH LIFE LESSONS WITH EDU PASTOR RANDALL

One's spiritual and academic growth hinges on engagement in Bible Study. The focus is on the Bible, God's Word. Using Explore the Bible from Lifeway, our Life Groups have easy access to these quarterly book-by-book Bible studies for adults (both online and in print). Our goal is to provide a weekly, practical, repeatable, and age-appropriate encounter with God’s Word with this format. We utilize the whole of Scripture, focusing on Old Testament Books and New Testament Books alternatively throughout the year. Day after day, week after week, our whole church family can grow together in God’s Word one book at a time and learn how to know, love, and invest in God’s truth.
‍
Randall Floyd is the Education Pastor at Grey Stone Church in Durham, NC and summarizes the scheduled lessons with five ideas and three conclusions each week. Through these brief supplemental online Life Lessons, small group leaders and facilitators can prepare to engage God's People with God's Word. Although we encourage people to connect in a small group on campus each week and personally with God's Word on a daily basis, these 15-minute videos can also be used for those who are on the go, or unable to attend on campus.

Summary by Randall Floyd; Education Pastor

Education Pastor

This book was written by the Prophet DANIEL, whose name means “God is my Judge.” It is written in 3rd person singular, however, Jesus stated that Daniel wrote the book (Mt.24:15, Mk 13:14; Lk 22:69). Daniel grew up in the captivity of Babylon, witnessing many historical events and visions and wrote this book sometime after 536 BC. He was originally put into the service of the conquering king and eventually took a key administrative role. Daniel ministered close to 70 years and worked under four major rulers: Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, the Median King Darius; and the Persian Ruler, Cyrus. The Babylonians had taken both Daniel and Ezekiel into captivity at about the same time. In addition to Jeremiah, these eyewitness-prophets helped the people understand the activity and the plans of the Lord, even during difficult times.

Outline for DANIEL:

Historic Providence (Daniel 1-6): The life and times of Daniel and his friends.
Prophetic Previews (Daniel 7-12): Powerful prophecies from God through Daniel.

Finding the Gospel in DANIEL:

Daniel shares an incredible prophecy about the Messiah (Dan. 9), even predicting the exact time Jesus would come to Jerusalem for the last time before He would be killed to save His people from sin! God’s great rescue plan was fulfilled down to the day. All of history is about what Jesus did on the cross by paying for our salvation.
