Experiencing Christ Together

Beginning in Christ:  6-week small group study on the 5 purposes of fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism, and worship lived out in the life of Jesus Christ as seen through His disciples.

The heart of Christianity is not a ritual or a structure, but a Person—Jesus Christ. Even as his followers, our vision of Jesus can get muddied by man-made theories of who he was. Whether you're a seasoned believer or a brand new Christian, come walk in the footsteps of his first disciples to see him afresh: as Teacher, Healer, Shepherd, Servant, Savior, and Risen Lord. These six sessions lay the foundation for radical discipleship as our hearts are once again captured by who he is.

Connecting in Christ:  Connecting in Christ:  6-week small group study on the purpose of fellowship; connecting more deeply with Jesus Christ – seeing his way of loving others, and building genuine relationships with Christian friends.

Fellowship. The word gets used a lot in church. But too often our understanding and practice of fellowship are shallow and stripped of the life-giving, life-transforming power that God intended community to have. Jesus lived out and taught a deeper, more radical kind of fellowship—a way of interacting that makes others sit up and take notice. These six sessions will show you Jesus’ way of loving others "as I have loved you."

Growing in Christ:  Growing in Christ:  6-week small group study on the value and the nature of a life of discipleship, as modeled by Jesus.

Our world these days is so hectic, so complex. Where do we turn for wisdom and guidance in navigating the ins and outs of life? There are many voices to listen to and many examples to follow, but we really need look no further than the Author of Life, Jesus. He taught and lived a way of life that was purposeful and pleasing to God. These six sessions will show you the value and the nature of a life of discipleship, as modeled by Jesus.

Serving Like Christ:  6-week small group study on the key character traits taught and modeled by Jesus that are essential to a life of service in the steps of the Ultimate Servant.

Jesus said he "did not come to be served, but to serve." And he calls us as his followers to the same lifestyle and attitude of service. But how do we do that? In a world that values power and ease, we need some help in reorienting our hearts as well as our schedules. These six sessions look at key character traits taught and modeled by Jesus that are essential to a life of service in the steps of the Ultimate Servant.

Sharing Christ:  6-week small group study exposing us to the heart of Jesus as he shows and teaches his disciples how to have a vibrant witness that draws lost people so they can find the way home.

Lost and hurting people are all around us. Jesus said he came to seek and save the lost, and he calls us into the same mission of love. But we often get bogged down in the how-tos of sharing our faith when the heart of the matter is…our heart. These six sessions expose us to the heart of Jesus as he shows and teaches his disciples how to have a vibrant witness that draws lost people so they can find the way home.

Surrendering to Christ:  6-week small group study where you'll learn from Jesus’ teaching and example the character qualities essential to a "life less ordinary"—a life of worshipful surrender.

The ultimate paradox of the Christian life is that victory comes through surrender. Most of us aspire to a life of abandonment to God and his purposes, but we find the daily grind of life and our own old habits get in the way. Jesus knew he set the bar high, but he didn't leave us without guidance. In these six sessions, you'll learn from his teaching and example the character qualities essential to a "life less ordinary"—a life of worshipful surrender.

1 Thessalonians - Volume 1:  This if the first volume of a two volume small group study of the Book of 1 Thessalonians.  This wonderful letter is important not only for its significance as the Apostle Paul's first letter, but also because of the guidance it offers us today for living the Christian life.
