November 22, 2009 – Love That Will Not Let Me Go
We’ve been having Holy Conversations about Jesus. What’s the final step when you decide to believe? People say “ask Jesus into your heart,” but some may wonder what that means, exactly.

November 15, 2009 – Seeing God
Last week we looked at giftedness in the body of Christ. But you may wonder how this idea of exercising our God-given gifts works itself out in the “real world.” How do we specifically find our place? What happens as a result of the work we do for God? This week’s lesson informs us that…

October 11, 2009 – Finding Meaning in Life
Did you know Christians live with a foot in two different worlds? Nope, it’s not a bad thing, like “walking the fence.” We really do partake of both the present natural world, and we also live in the spiritual world. As Paul puts it, we love our lives with family and friends, and yet we…

October 4, 2009 – Who is Jesus? Teacher, Healer, Exorcist . . . Savior
SPECIAL TESTIMONY BY SHARON INGRAM Taking a minute to think about it, what is your favorite story about Jesus? I’ve asked this question of several people this week.
