Resources
These are resources intended to be used in Community Groups and Bible Studies.
Sermon Study
Many of us hear the sermon on Sunday but rarely return to it throughout the week. To help you engage more deeply, each sermon includes a set of guided questions designed to help you reflect on the passage before you hear the message.
While you can work through these questions on your own, we encourage you to do so in community—whether that’s with a friend, a partner, or a small group. Meeting with someone each week to talk about what you’ve listened to can make the experience richer and more meaningful. All weekly questions are available in the button below.
The Prayer Course
The Prayer course is an eight-week journey through the Lord’s Prayer. The session are: Why Pray?, Adoration, Petition, Intercession, Unanswered Prayer, Contemplation, Listening, Spiritual Warfare
Practicing the Way
Information alone is not enough to produce formation. We need to practice Jesus’ teachings, to get his ideas from our minds into the muscle memory of our bodies. We do this by adopting practices from Jesus’ own life, time-tested disciplines for the spiritual life that open up our entire being to God and allow him to transform us into people of love.
The Practicing the Way Course features eight sessions of teaching, guided conversation, and spiritual exercises designed to lay a foundation for lifelong apprenticeship to Jesus. The Course is the on-ramp to the Practices and our other resources.
Sanctuary Course
The Sanctuary Course is for anyone who wants to learn about faith and mental health. It requires no previous training or expertise—just a willingness to engage in dialogue with other believers.

This video series/workbook focuses on SEVEN (7) areas of life that will help us live well and finish well. It is particularly designed with retired and aging people in mind; however, it can be a great resource for the younger generations looking for ways to encourage parents and grandparents.
