Freedom is a Core Group that equips you to live a victorious faith. Sometimes, we are simply unaware of the lies we believe and the wrong patterns of thinking that keep us stuck. In this group, you will discover how to move forward to greater freedom in your life, faith, and future by taking a deeper look at your identity in Christ. Freedom will meet every Monday starting September 18th and ending November 13th. Childcare is provided, and you can check your children in at 6:15pm. Freedom will begin at 6:30pm and will end at 8:00pm.

The Promise Principle | Jerold Baldwin & Paul Fisher

Eagan

Saturday at 7:00 AM • Virtual

You are welcome here! This is a "join at any time" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Small Groups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.

The Knowledge of the Holy

Crosstown

Saturday at 7:00 AM

This will be an every other week study of Tozer's classic "The Knowledge of the Holy;" a study of the character and attributes of God. We will meet for 90 minutes each time for fellowship, a meal, and discussion of two chapters from the book each time in a relaxed setting. From the Amazon website: This book, "by beloved evangelical author and Christian mystic A.W. Tozer, illuminates God’s attributes—from wisdom, to grace, to mercy—and in doing so, attempts to restore the majesty and wonder of God in the hearts and minds of all Christians. Informative as well as inspirational, The Knowledge of the Holy returns the towering Christian concept of God to the center of the religious mind, fostering a renewed appreciation of the magnitude of God’s glory. This timeless gift breathes a spirit of devotion for all Christians, from those who are newly arrived to those who are committing themselves anew to Jesus Christ." Please purchase the book on your own ($13). It's available on amazon.com.
