The Lectio Course is a 5-part series created by 24-7 Prayer to help individuals and communities learn to hear God through praying the Bible. Each of the five sessions includes a short video, a discussion guide, and a practical activity for small groups to explore together. Pete Greig introduces the course to us and interviews a diverse range of guests, who explain some of their story and share how the Bible has been transformational to their lives.
Previous CLM Series
Explore some of the previous series we have run in life groups over the last few years. Many of these courses link to preaching series and have links to the preaches in the notes. These courses might be useful to use during flexible weeks in the terms calendar, particularly if your group has not done them before.
External Courses
These are courses that can be used alongside the related book or videos for Life Group sessions. The links will take you to the webpage for each course, where you may have to register to access the videos. Notes for each session, to use in your group, are provided on the websites for the courses.

The Belonging Course explores some key elements of ‘loneliness-busting’ belonging and challenges participants to think about how they can build deep relationships with each other and with members of their local community.

A 50-day guide (7 weeks) journey towards greater wellbeing – physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial and vocational. This course requires your group to have a license for the videos at a small cost, and you may want to work through the book which accompanies the series. Each member would need to buy the book. It is not essential for the course, but it helps you journey in more depth.

The Bible Course takes you through the Bible’s big story – from Genesis through to Revelation. Discover where you fit in God’s big story.
