But is there only one way of living the life of a Jesus follower? \nThe Christian life—even one centered on grace—can still feel like a long list of dos and don’ts. But what if there’s more (and less) to our faith than we typically believe? In this series based on the book A Contrarian’s Guide to Knowing God by Larry Osborne\, we will tackle popular assumptions about Christian living that create stress and failure rather than growth and joy. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Bad (and Better) Boys of the Bible
DESCRIPTION:The best way to grow in a relationship with Christ is in relationship with others. Our Community Groups are a place where you can connect with others in a learning community; finding Biblical direction for life’s sometimes difficult journey. For more information about Community Groups contact Pastor Blair. \n\nWe often learn more from what not to do vs. what to do. Join us as we explore the lives of Biblical “Bad Boys” and see how all of us fallen humans are susceptible to the same temptations that defined them. We’ll also see how “Better Boys” persevered and sought the Lord in times of trouble.

SUMMARY:Conspiracy of Kindness
DESCRIPTION:This holiday season\, we’re once again focusing on others through Conspiracy of Kindness. For nearly 10 years\, we’ve chosen to spend less on ourselves in order to give more to others. This year’s focus is: \nLocally\, we want to meet specific needs within our community. Please let us know of anyone or any gospel-centered organization we could help. \nGlobally\, we’re partnering in Guatemala\, where we have a mission team going in June. We hope to raise enough funds to build five houses and provide ten bunk beds. \nYou can participate by:\n1. Submitting a nomination for local needs (deadline is December 31st).\n2. Praying and deciding as a family how you might give an “over-and-above” gift this Christmas.\n3. Giving to Grace\, designating your gift as “Conspiracy of Kindness.” \nNOMINATE  GIVE
