Get Connected Part 4: Staying on Track - October 21, 2007

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 10:24:28 -0700

We want to become all that God want us to be, but the journey is far from smooth. If we’re all honest, the propensity to drift is in all of us. So when we start to get off track, when commitment and conviction start to wane, we need to be surrounded by other people who will be there to help us stay on course.

Get Connected Part 3: A Place to Start - October 14, 2007

Sat, 20 Oct 2007 18:24:28 -0700

God designed us to live in community. By connecting with others who have the same spiritual goals, we set ourselves on a course for spiritual growth we wouldn’t be achieve on our own. But where do we start? If the group’s goal is to make progress spiritually, then it makes sense to find out where you are now. And figuring out where you are means taking a hard look at who you are and who you are not.

Get Connected Part 2: Spiritual Progress - October 7, 2007

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 16:04:28 -0700

Most of us want to make spiritual progress. But where do we begin? And what does progress from a spiritual standpoint even look like? Though there are several things that we could do, there is one thing that is often overlooked; something that can have as much, if not more, impact on us spiritually than some of the things that immediately come to mind.

Get Connected Part 1: Missing Ingredient Sunday - September 30, 2007

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 14:24:38 -0700

We all drift. We begin with great intentions, determined to stay the course, find ourselves falling back into the places and behaviors we intended, commitments and convictions just aren't able to help us on their own. Ingredient that is necessary if we're going to stay on the right track.

Distorted: Identity Theft - September 23, 2007

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 16:04:28 -0700

Sin is a very uncomfortable word. It implies that there exists a moral absolute that we are accountable to and a moral absolute that we have fallen short of. And as a result, this word has almost completely dropped out of our vocabulary. But when we allow the concept of sin to be distorted, there are far-reaching consequences that we seldom recognize.

Distorted: Category of One - September 16, 2007

Sat, 22 Sep 2007 18:06:29 -0700

There is one twist of truth that is unique in its impact and implications. It erodes a person's capacity for intimacy and leaves scars on the soul. And yet, in its proper context, it provides a depth of relationship and a closeness that God intended for a husband and a wife. However, when it comes to sex, our culture has bought into the lie. And it is affecting us at the deepest levels.

Distorted: Rise or Fall - September 9, 2007

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 21:56:42 -0700

When we experience pain, we often ask, "Why?" In times of pain, we find ourselves desperately seeking for purpose. Tell me there is meaning in this. Tell me this happened for a reason. All too often when we look around at our present circumstances and look back to examine the past, we can't see how anything good can come out of the pain. This is because the purpose behind our pain is found by looking elsewhere.

Distorted: You Can't Make Me Do That! - September 2, 2007

Fri, 07 Sep 2007 11:25:09 -0700

Somewhere along the way, most of us become convinced that if we disagree with a rule or regulation then we're free to disobey it. We live life with the general notion that we should be able to do what we want when we want with no one to answer to. However, as we'll discover, when you choose to disregard authority, there is more at stake than is readily evident.

Distorted: The World Behind This World - August 26, 2007

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 11:12:56 -0700

There is more to this world than what we can see. Beyond all that we can measure and understand is a spiritual world, a world that we can neither see nor touch and yet we feel its impact everyday. A world in which there is an evil influence that deceives us and desires to ultimately lead us on a path of destruction. In this session, we'll discuss how our lives have become distorted and the source behind this deception.

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:32:28 -0700

The Roots of Islam - August 12, 2007

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 17:05:14 -0700

In the year AD 610, an Arab merchant claimed to receive a revelation from the angel Gabriel inside a cave, near the city of Mecca. And in just 22 short years, Muhammad, regarded by Muslims as God's last and final prophet, was able to unite the Arab world through military conquest, launching a distinct religious movement. This week we'll compare and contrast this pivotal religious figure with another one, Jesus Christ, along with the movements they each started
