Christ’s love makes it possible for you to be known and to know others, to love and be loved, to resolve conflict naturally, and to go deeper in your connections with one another. Whether you are creating a new circle of friends or deepening your current relationships, God is drawing you nearer. You belong together.

These six sessions will help you develop your God-given design - whether you are at home, at work, at church, or in your community  - in a way that extends God’s love to others and enriches your own life immeasurably.

Volume 5 - Sharing Your Life Missions Every Day
 

Sharing your life mission every day is not very difficult. You need a few skills, a few friends for support, and a glimpse of God’s heart.  These six sessions will equip you to extend love to seekers around you and talk about your experience with God in ways that people will understand.

This series is primarily for believers. It helps motivate believers to get connected, and prepares a time for the church to open up its arms, homes, and the doors to the weekend services!

Volume 1 - Beginning In Christ Together
 

The heart of Christianity is not a ritual or a structure, but a Person—Jesus Christ. Even as his followers, our vision of Jesus can get muddied by man-made theories of who he was. Whether you’re a seasoned believer or a brand new Christian, come walk in the footsteps of his first disciples to see him new: as Teacher, Healer, Shepherd, Servant, Savior, and Risen Lord. These six sessions lay the foundation for radical discipleship as our hearts are once again captured by who he is.

Session 1 - The Teacher
Session 2 – The Healer
Session 3 – The Shepherd
Session 4 – The Servant
Session 5 – The Savior
Session 6 – The Risen Lord

Volume 2 - Connecting In Christ Together
 

Fellowship. The word gets used a lot in church. But too often our understanding and practice of fellowship are shallow and stripped of the life-giving, life-transforming power that God intended community to have. Jesus lived out and taught a deeper, more radical kind of fellowship—a way of interacting that makes others sit up and take notice. These six sessions will show you Jesus’ way of loving others “as I have loved you.”

Session 1 – As I Have Loved You
Session 2 – Showing Up
Session 3 – Loving Flawed People
Session 4 – Truthful but Tender
Session 5 – Extreme Forgiveness
Session 6 – Cross Shaped Love

Volume 3 - Growing In Christ Together
 

Our world these days is so hectic, so complex. Where do we turn for wisdom and guidance in navigating the ins and outs of life? There are many voices to listen to and many examples to follow, but we really need look no further than the Author of Life, Jesus. He taught and lived a way of life that was purposeful and pleasing to God. These six sessions will show you the value and the nature of a life of discipleship, as modeled by Jesus.

Session 1 – The Treasure of Discipleship
Session 2 – The Power of Desert
Session 3 – Pressing the Pause Button
Session 4 – Persistent Prayer
Session 5 – Building on a Solid Foundation
Session 6 – Where’s Your Treasure

Volume 4 - Serving Like Christ Together
 

Jesus said he “did not come to be served, but to serve.” He calls us as his followers to the same lifestyle and attitude of service. But how do we do that? In a world that values power and ease, we need some help in reorienting our hearts as well as our schedules. These six sessions look at key character traits taught and modeled by Jesus that are essential to a life of service in the steps of the Ultimate Servant.

Session 1 – What is success?
Session 2 – Serving Christ in Others
Session 3 – Compassion
Session 4 – The Holy Spirit
Session 5 – Bondslaves
Session 6 – Serving Outsiders

Volume 5 - Sharing Christ Together
 

Lost and hurting people are all around us. Jesus said he came to seek and save the lost, and he calls us into the same mission of love. But we often get bogged down in the how-tos of sharing our faith when the heart of the matter is…our heart. These six sessions expose us to the heart of Jesus as he shows and teaches his disciples how to have a vibrant witness that draws lost people so they can find the way home.

Session 1 – The Father’s Heart
Session 2 – Christ In Flesh and Blood
Session 3 – Sowing Seeds
Session 4 – Who Is My Neighbor
Session 5 – Teaming Up
Session 6 – Up A Tree

Volume 6 - Surrendering To Christ Together
 

The ultimate paradox of the Christian life is that victory comes through surrender. Most of us aspire to a life of abandonment to God and his purposes, but we find the daily grind of life and our own old habits get in the way. Jesus knew he set the bar high, but he didn’t leave us without guidance. In these six sessions, you’ll learn from his teaching and example the character qualities essential to a “life less ordinary”—a life of worshipful surrender.

Session 1 – Afloat In A Storm
Session 2 – The Key to Significance
Session 3 – True Greatness
Session 4 – Wild Gratitude
Session 5 – Ultimate Trust
Session 6 – Victory Over Death
