Sept. 23 — Oct. 7 There are a lot of lies that we end

up believing for various reasons

and it affects everything we do. How we relate to others,

how we connect with or disconnect from God. It's time

to buckle down and look at some hard truths.

Do you ever felt like you’re

have different personas for different crowds but

that doesn’t reflect who we really are in Christ.

Oct. 28—Nov. 18

In a culture obssessed with

selfies it’s not difficult to

understand why so many of us struggle. Jesus

shows us what it looks like to be selfless.

Nov. 25—Dec. 16

There’s a problem seeing

the story of Jesus’ birth as

just another story in the Bible. It’s part of THE

story...

“We’re meant to be.” It’s how

all of our movies and books

talk about love. It sounds more like magic. But

real life is real different.

Mar. 3 — Mar. 24

The Bible. We all know

reading it is important but

sometimes we avoid it becaues it seems boring or

irrelevant. So how do we change that?

April 14 — May 12

“Jesus loves me” may seem

like a pretty straightforward

belief, but let’s be honest… signing about Jesus’

love is a lot easier than actually imitating it.
