Isaiah by Melissa Spoelstra | May 29 – July 31 | 7:00-8:30pm | Wednesdays
North Campus Lounge with Karen Moore
Isaiah served as God’s mouthpiece to the nation of Judah but also to the surrounding nations. His message echoes into our lives today as we read his call to rely on the Lord. Isaiah communicated clearly that followers of God could trust in Him.
In this study – from his challenging words to the nation of Israel to his prophecies of the Messiah to come – learn to rest in God’s promises and grow in trust. Unpacking Isaiah’s words will reveal that you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply the Faithful One who is so worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you’ll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you.
The Imaginative Prayer Group | June 17-July 22 | 5:30-6:30pm | Mondays
North Campus Lounge with Karen Moore
Based on the book: Imagine You Walked with Jesus. In imaginative prayer, the same Holy Spirit who inspired the authors of the Gospels also “inspires” (literally breathes into) our imaginations in a way that draws us closer to Christ. Prayer is a conversation with God; imaginative prayer creates a space for that encounter.
The heart of imaginative prayer is to “meet” God, usually in the person of Jesus, in a personal way. Spots are limited, sign up today!
Who Told You That? Seeking Truth in a World of Deception by Laurie Etta Neill
June 6-July 25 | NC 1:00-2:00pm | SC 3:00-4:00pm | Thursdays
with Judy Siegle Aamodt
That was God’s question for Adam and Eve, and it is his question for us. Life experiences may leave us believing we are failures, unlovable, stupid, or worthless. God asks, “Who told you that?” The answer to that question has the power to change lives–not with behavior modification but by heart transformation. Through stories, humor, and a practical tool called The Lie Detector, readers will discover: How to identify misbeliefs about themselves and God, How to replace those misbeliefs with truth, How to live a life of peace, joy, and contentment.
It is not people, circumstances, or things that determine our happiness. It is what we believe about those things that matter. Know the truth–and beset free. “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free”(John 8:32).
Jude: Contending for the Faith in Today’s Culture by Jackie Hill Perry
June 12-July 31 | 9:00am-10:30am Wednesdays
North Campus with Lois Anfinrud
Called. Loved. Kept.
God has commanded His beloved church to do the necessary work of contending for the faith in a world of unbelief, and as we do, He will keep us from falling into the same deception. Dive into themes of being called, loved, and kept and learn how to point others to Jesus in grace and truth. We serve others well when we share the whole gospel with them, not just the parts deemed attractive by our culture.
