Life Together


Sharing your Life Mission Every Day-Evangelism

1-sharing
Sharing your life mission every day just isn’t that hard. You need a few skills, a few friends for support, and a glimpse of God’s heart for those who don’t know him. These six sessions will equip you to extend love to seekers around you and talk about your experience with God in ways that people will understand. God doesn’t ask you to do it alone-discover the power that comes from teaming up!

Growing in Christ Together-Discipleship

4-growing
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 to value and the nature of a life of discipleship, as modeled by Jesus.



Surrendering to Christ Together- Worship

5-surrender_2
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 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.

 

Sharing Christ Together-Evangelism

6-sharing_2Lost 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 now-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.
