Emmanuel

“Emmanuel.” In Hebrew it means “God with us,” and we sing about it every December. But by limiting Emmanuel to Christmas carols, have we missed the main point? This Advent season, we’ll discover that the biggest problems in our lives—and in our world—trace back to the same source: our lack of Emmanuel. And we’ll see how the story of Scripture, from the Garden of Eden to the stable of Bethlehem and beyond, is really the story of God with Us: how we lost his presence, how we try to get it back, and how what happened that first Christmas is the turning point in the whole story.

J-Term image

J-Term

Join us for the first official J-Term semester, starting January 7. For three weeks, Pastor Dave will teach on “Big Idea Devotions,” a method that he developed and wrote about for his doctoral thesis — it has transformed his devotional life. “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” How well are you listening to God’s voice through Scripture? Do you walk through each day with a clear word from God? Come and learn a simple method for clearly hearing and living out the Word of God each day, which influences all of life. This course will require commitment and will include homework.

Starting January 7

Battleground image

Battleground

As the number and severity of trials continue to increase around the world, our encounter with these “tests of faith” can become grievous and challenging.  It’s easy to fall prey to complaining, grumbling, and blaming.  And then we question:   Why are we being tested? If God were good, would He have allowed this?  Is God still in control?

Bruce Wilkinson shares the Biblical insights of God’s plan for our perfection.  Beginning with a foundational passage in James, “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials,” Bruce leads us through Scripture, revealing life applications and power tools to become an Overcomer for Christ!

Join the Battleground Men’s group on Saturdays from 8:00-10:00am in the Impact Center and breakfast will be served.

Life’s Lessons

Calling all men: do you think you’re the only man struggling through life? Do other people make it look easy where you feel every bump in the road? It’s not as easy as it looks! Come and learn from men who know what it takes to persevere, but also know it’s not easy. Join us as we share what the Lord (and His written word), has taught us about parenting, leadership, keeping a healthy marriage, and just making it through life. All are welcome to join us!
