Along with grace God gives us power to live righteous lives. We have salvation AND power over sin.

This study will examine common misconceptions of our ability to live righteously.

The theme for 2009 is Embracing Grace. Grace is an idea familiar to our thinking but sometimes it is foreign to our hearts. We accept that God has extended grace to us, but we continue to pursue righteousness following rules, we continue to feel the need to appease God’s anger, and we continue to feel guilty. In cycles 2 and 7 we will focus specifically on Embracing Grace and the idea of grace will also flow through all of our other studies this year. We Invite you to join us as we study the following areas in a series of six week studies:

1. Personal Spiritual Growth
2. Embracing Grace I
3. Power Over Sin
4. Colossians
5. Jonah-Habakkuk
6. 1-3 John
7. Embracing Grace II
8. Esther / Song of Solomon

The date for this study has been changed to later in the year- probably sometime in the fall.  So there is plenty of time to sign up!

Spend four hours with friends exploring the discipline of prayer. Learn and practice different forms and styles of prayer as you learn to connect with the heart of God.

100 Minutes with God

Join me in committing to spend 100 minutes with God this week; that is less than 15 minutes per day.  Challenge yourself to spend 5 minutes in silence, 5 minutes reflecting on a short passage of Scripture and 5 minutes in prayer…..each day. Then share your experience with others.

1Peter 2:2 “Like newborn babies crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”

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.
