The Ridiculous Mercy of God
Ralph Corduan writes, “The term ‘ridiculous mercy’ happened in a conversation by accident. I wanted to express how crazy it felt to me that the Creator of the universe would rescue decadent lives like ours. I am still on a journey discovering how ridiculously awesome God’s redemption offer is – and come to find out – always has been.” On Wednesday nights, Ralph will share with us how God grabs the hold of the hearts of men and women who are far from Him. Join us on this 6-week journey, and consider bringing someone with you who needs to experience God’s ridiculous mercy.
Kingdom Woman: Embracing Your Purpose, Power, and Possibilities
Ladies Bible Study
Ladies, join Suzy Frady as she leads this DVD-driven study by Tony Evans and his daughter, Chrystal Evans Hurst, to learn what it means to live as a biblical woman and embrace your femininity, to walk by faith (not just talk about it), to make decisions in alignment with God, to raise up the next generation, and to discover that tremendous freedom comes when your ultimate submission is under a caring and loving God. Study Guides are available for $8. This study will meet in the Shadows of the Cross Classroom.
Life In The Spirit
Join us on Wednesday nights as we look at Robertson McQuilkin’s study, “Life in the Spirit.” He writes, “The Holy Spirit is the source of our spiritual blessing, the administrator and executive officer of our triune God.” So why do we so often neglect the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives? Over the next several weeks, we will look at how the church has too often ignored the Spirit's influence and what we must do to get back to our spiritual roots.
