As part of our mission statement to connect people with God and others, we desire for people to be known in a way that is not possible in a large gathering.

Connection Groups typically gather on Sunday evenings in homes all over Linn County.

Each Sunday we provide questions based on the sermon to guide a discussion time into deeper spiritual understanding.

If you are looking to connect with others, flesh out the sermon in your own life, and invest yourself with a group of loving believers, Connection groups are for you! Click below to get signed up!

“Process”                 Psalm 127                   November 2nd, 2025 

1. What is the difference between viewing parenting as a process and viewing it as a series of stand-alone events? What happens when parents grow impatient with the process?

2. Read over Psalm 127. What clues do you find about the process of shaping arrows? Why are parents impatient with the process of parenting?

3. What is the difference between spiritual blindness and physical blindness? (See Matthew 15:14; Zephaniah 1:17)

4. In what way is parenting like “the blind leading the blind”? What steps does a parent need to take to overcome their own spiritual blindness?

5. Some strong words were presented to describe the spiritual condition of a person’s heart: blind (2 Corinthians 4:3-4); deceived (Jeremiah 17:9); lost (Luke 19:10). Talk about each of these words in relation to parenting… What does it mean to parent a child who is blind, deceived, lost?

6. What is meant by the “never-ending conversation”? How would this idea affect how someone parents their children?

7. What character qualities will be necessary for a parent to maintain the never-ending conversation with their child or grandchild?

8. What hope does a parent have to develop those qualities where they are deficient? (See Galatians 5:22-23)

9. In what area do you need to be more patient with the process of parenting? How does this idea of process apply to grandparents, or aunts/uncles?
