Chase the Lion (small group study)
Small Group starting Wednesday, 10/26, at 6:30pm When the image of a man-eating beast travels through the optic nerve and into the visual cortex, the brain sends the body a simple but urgent message: run away! That’s what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a five hundred pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show His power. “Chase the Lion” is more than a catch phrase; it’s a radically different approach…
Good or God
Good or God starting Wednesday, 11/11, at 6:30 pm Our Life Groups are in a new video study called, Good or God based on a book by John Bevere. Why Good Without God Isn’t Enough. BUT if it’s good, it must be God. Right? These days the terms good and God seem synonymous. We believe what’s generally accepted as good must be in line with God’s will. Generosity, humility, justice—good. Selfishness, arrogance, cruelty—evil. The distinction seems pretty straightforward. But is that all there is to…
Not A Fan
Not A Fan starting Wednesday, 9/23, 6:30 pm We all have junctures in life where an interest becomes a career, a hobby turns into a business, a recreational sport turns into a profession or a romantic relationship becomes a marriage.

Ever After – Life Lessons Learned in my Castle of Chaos
Ladies’ Mid-Week Life Group Starting Wednesday, 2/25/2015, 6:30 pm Most every woman dreams about having a family and a building a home. We grow up on a steady diet of fairytales and chick flicks that drive our dreams . . . and leave us with a sugarcoated version of reality. We want it all: the prince, the kiss, the proposal, the ring, the castle, and eventually, the kids in smocked rompers playing cheerfully on the perfectly manicured lawn. Our hopes…

Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm starting 11/12 [vimeo url=”http://vimeo.com/40604746″ title=”0″ fs=”0″ portrait=”0″ autoplay=”1″] There are gods at war within each of us. They battle for the throne of our hearts, and much is at stake. This is why idolatry is the most discussed problem in the entire Bible. Behind every sin struggle that you and I have is a false god that is winning the war in our lives. Don’t give in to the myth that gods are only statues that…
Follow – Amazingly Simple, Incredibly Hard
Following – how hard can that be? On the surface it sounds pretty straightforward. And following a person is amazingly simple. Simple enough for a child.

There’s No Place Like Home
Don’t you love it when you get a chance to sit down with a old friend you haven’t seen in forever and you are easily able to pick up your relationship right from where you left off? Getting caught up on the happenings of life is fun but what’s really fulfilling is the connection — knowing someone and them knowing you.
