Fall 2011 Small Groups

 Small Groups are a vital part of spiritual formation.  Below are the options for the Fall 2011 and for Advent.  We look forward to seeing you participating in a life changing small group experience.  Small Groups begin October 9th.


In this compelling six session DVD study, pastor and best selling author Tim Keller presents a new way of looking at this well known parable.  In six sessions your group will explore the prodigal who spent until he had nothing left, the self righteous and offended elder son, and the father who forgave with reckless abandon. And in it all, your group will learn the love of the Heavenly Father who lavishes his love upon his children and welcomes us back into his loving arms.


Voted the 2010 Christian Book of the year, The Hole in our Gospel is the story of how World Vision CEO Richard Stearns faced his own struggles to obey God no matter what the cost and his passionate call for Christians to change the world by actively living out their faith. This six week small group event is bound to get your group talking about some of the biggest issues facing our world today.
 
 

In this six session video study, pastor and best selling author Max Lucado reveals how your life story is part of the grand, overarching narrative, helping you see between the lines to witness Gods hand at work.  With contemporary anecdotes and New Testament stories, "Gods Story, Your Story" traces our Saviors unchanging, loving pursuit of you through the chaos of life.

 



Our special advent study will be "Journey" with Adam Hamilton as he travels from Nazareth to Bethlehem in his fascinating look at the birth of Jesus Christ.  Just as in "24Hours that Changed the World" Hamilton uses historical information, archeological data, and a personal look at some of the stories surrounding the birth of Christ.  The most amazing moment in history will become more real and heart felt as readers walk along this road.
