Excerpt
Today, some people think of the church as a powerless institution made of ancient traditions and stuffy buildings. They're wrong! The church is the new community of God's people. It's filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. And it has as much to say to the world today as it did two thousand years ago.
In Acts, you will discover that God wants to do a fresh work among his people by the power of the Holy Spirit. You will find the pathway to authentic community. You will learn how to grow as a worshiper. And you will deepen your passion to invite others into the fellowship of Christ-followers we call the church. Sound exciting? Let's rediscover church together!

Excerpt
In the book of Acts the followers of Jesus were referred to as "The Way". In other words, they were defined more by the way they lived than a clearly articulated set of doctrines. They were the church living in the way of Jesus. Sacred Community will inspire you to go beyond being a group to being a community that lives together as the tangible body of Christ, right where you are. This journal will guide you through a way of prayer, restoration, sharing, including, suffering, going, and storytelling by engaging your whole self: heart, mind, body and soul. By combining meditation with action, reading with doing, talking with listening, times in solitude, and times in community, discover what it means to live in sacred community with one another.

 Making Room for Neighbors Small Study Group Kit
Max Lucado, Randy Frazee
Retail Price: $89.95
CBD Price: $39.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
Rediscover the importance of true engagement with self, family and neighbors.
Life in America is fast approaching warp speed; there’s so much to do and so little time! Families barely get to see one another—even dinner is often simply a matter of grabbing some food and eating on the run. Instead of us managing our lives, life seems to manage us.
Randy Frazee, Senior Minister at Oak Hills Church, and Max Lucado believe that it’s time to change all that. MAKING ROOM FOR NEIGHBORS, based on a successful pilot outreach program at Oak Hills Church, is a five part series designed to help Christians get back to the things that really count, like the importance of sitting around the dinner table together! By mindfully engaging with family, friends and neighbors—and ourselves (Making Room to Chill)—we live more deeply, minister more effectively and help to grow the body of Christ.
The curriculum is a catalyst to help Christian men and women intentionally go deeper and get more engaged in personal relationships with friends, family and neighbors, organized around five themes:
• Session One—Making Room for Life
• Session Two—Making Room for Family
• Session Three—Making Room for Neighbors
• Session Four—Making Room to Chill
• Session Five—Making Room for Service
Enjoy the rewards of the kind of relationship that Jesus modeled for us, a life of engagement with others that builds true community.

CBD Price: $6.29
Buy 10 or more for $5.79 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt
The quality of our lives - our health, growth, happiness, even life itself - hinges on our relationships. Jesus considered human relationships so vital that he dealt with them extensively in his most celebrated teaching, the Sermon on the Mount. In crisp brush strokes, he painted a compelling portrait of how we are to conduct ourselves with each other and with a non-Christian world. The 6 sessions in this book explore what Jesus has to say about mercy, peacemaking, authentic faith, healing connection, lust versus love, truth-telling, judgementalism, and other relational essentials. You'll discover the challenges and rewards of demonstrating Christ's character in practical, down-to-earth ways.
