After embracing grace as a the sole basis of our salvation, forgiveness of sins and hope of eternal life something happens to us. Our hearts are touched by the love of God and we are changed. Changed from the inside out. No longer are we motivated by self interests and selfish desires, now we are motivated by love. The nuclear center of our lives is the endless love of Christ that flows through us spilling onto everyone around us. When we are changed by God’s love we want to share it with others allowing them to experience a taste of God’s love and inviting them to join us in living love powered lives.

Paul says…”For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Cor 5:14)

A special 10 week small group study exploring 10 biblical choices you can make that will help you get past life’s hurt’s, habits, losses, apathy, and pain.
