Conclusion

We will have three small group sessions. Each session will have three options.

Session 1:

Embracing Grace and Finding How God Wants to Use You

Kathy Stratton

God calls us to put our faith into practice. Have you ever wrestled with how God wants to use you to be the hands and feet of Christ? This session will trace the path God directed me to so I could put my faith into action. This led me to join with others to share God’s love and plan for young women in unplanned pregnancies. I will share about the Embrace Grace ministry at Bible Baptist Church, the ways God has worked in the lives of the women we serve, and the impact of this ministry in my personal walk with Christ.

Being Christ Centered in Cultural Chaos

Rebecca Winter

We are living in unprecedented times which have ushered in cultural chaos. How do we stay Christ-centered in such an environment? We are going to consider three Biblical strategies to help us navigate the chaos.

Dealing with the Impact of Porn Addiction

Tami Wasson

No one wants to talk about it, but the impact of pornography on our marriages, families, and churches is profound and real. If you have watched a loved one deal with this ugly beast, I want to offer encouragement and hope from God's Word. You are not alone and you are not helpless.

Session 2:

Great Pretenders

Nancy Peters

Gourds have been a part of my life for many years. They are fun for crafting, often looking like things they really are not-- good at pretending. That's great for gourds, but not so much for people as we shall see scripture repeatedly proves.

Love Your Neighbor

Autumn Kirby

God's Word commands us to "Love your neighbor." This is known as the Golden Rule or the Greatest Commandment. How do we understand this command? How do we love our neighbor practically? We will look at passages in the gospel of Luke to see what Jesus said.

Do Exactly What He Tells You to Do

Leah Conner

It sounds like a simple command, but how many times in our lives do we ignore God's calling? We overthink, analyze and make excuses. Together let's challenge one another to listen and act when we feel God speaking or the Holy Spirit nudging us toward something.

Session 3:

Trust the Process... Trust His Plan

Sharon Willet

Proverbs 16:9, states "in his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."

Making plans is a natural part of life. As Jesus followers, we pray that our plans and His plans are in harmony. But what happens when our plans fail? What if our plan was not the best for our lives? Does that mean we get God's second-best plan for our lives? That we can't be used of Him for his purposes? Worse yet, does that mean we are failures? Hear the story of one who has known success and failure and has learned of the faithfulness of God. Be encouraged by how our sovereign God uses our failures to draw us close to himself and to teach us the deep truth about his love, mercy, and grace.

The Hand of God

Brenda Mortensen

Have you ever thought about how the hand of God is and has been evident in your everyday life? As we dig into God's Word, come and be amazed at what we uncover and reveal about the strength, authority and power demonstrated in the Hand of God.

Three Words of Joy: Jesus, Others, and You

Ruth Bissell

We will explore our relationship with Jesus, our relationships with others, and our relationship with ourselves. Understanding these relationships helps us experience joy.
