Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby      
Facilitated by Hugh Howard
While many people ask God to bless their plans, Experiencing God helps lead believers into a deeper love relationship, teaching them to pray to and hear from God, and to join with God in accomplishing what He purposes to do. For more than 15 years, God has used Experiencing God in His work, showing believers how to know Him intimately while encouraging them to step out in faith and join Him in His work—with miraculous results. This study has been updated with new illustration and testimonial content that demonstrates how it has contributed to some truly miraculous results. 13 Weeks - Video Study

Acts: Model for Today’s Church      
Facilitated by Chris Lind
The local church is still the hope for our world. Acts presents the thrilling beginnings and bold life of the early church. The history of the early church includes many mighty works done through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit. Reliving their stories will give you renewed hope and trust in the power of the Spirit. In Acts: Model for Today’s Church you will connect with our true power source as you learn to deepen church community and become an irresistible influence to the world around you. Apply what you learn in practical projects and embrace life-change goals for yourself. Your church should be an authentic representation of what Jesus intended when He unleashed His Spirit in the first century. Through all of life’s problems, you too can see the Word of God continue to increase and spread (Acts 12:24).

Crazy Love by Francis Chan      
God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working at a list of do’s and don’ts - it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love you will never be the same! Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it? It’s crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you’ve verbalized it yet or not, we all know something’s wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions?

Me, Myself & Lies by Jennifer Rothschild      
Facilitated by Debby Murphy
This study will encourage you to clean out the junk in your mind and replace hidden negative thoughts with positive truths from God’s word. Words are powerful. Especially the words you speak to yourself. All too often, what you say to yourself when you lie in bed at night or look in the mirror in the morning is not even close to the words God wants you to speak to your soul. According to Rothschild, what we think about often has a ripple effect on nearly every area of our lives. 7 sessions
