A honest open discussion arena for young adults who struggle to engage with the Scriptures in a meaningful, applicable way. How do I apply a text that was written by many people several thousand years ago in a very different culture to my life in 21st America? How do I know I can trust the Bible? What IS the point of the Bible? Where can I honestly wrestle with these--and other questions I have about the Scriptures?

Empower | Kissner’s

Crosstown

Thursday at 6:30 PM

There is nothing more exciting than living a Spirit-filled empowered life! This eight-week Bible study will instruct, encourage, experience and inspire you to walk in all that Jesus has made available to you through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the gifts that He imparts. These gifts are vital and need to be used in order to be effective witnesses for Him. In this study you will learn about the unseen world, which is called the Spirit realm. Even though we don't see it with our physical eyes, we interact with it on a daily basis. You will also learn in detail about each of the nine gifts of the Spirit how they are used throughout the Old and New Testament by ordinary people. Finally, you will have the opportunity to deepen your relationship with the Lord through the lessons on prayer and intercession. Are you ready to get started? River Valley recommendation is to take Alpha and Freedom classes previous to Empower class. We will be meeting Thursdays, Sept 14-Nov 16, with the exception of Sept 28 due to our Global Team Romania trip, and Oct 12 due to Marriage Night at Crosstown. Our home: 720 Maggie Way Chanhassen, MN 55317

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Joe Miller

Eagan

Thursday at 7:00 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at any time" men's group. We meet at Hope Breakfast Bar 1 SOUTH LEECH STREET SAINT PAUL, MN 55102 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.
