Group Type: Growth   Gender Mix: Men   Lifestage: Any Adult  
Description: What Does It Mean To Be Chosen?

No matter where you’re at in your journey, Jesus proved over and over that we have so much to learn and innumerable traits that need change. What does it actually mean to be Chosen? To answer that question, we’re going Old school (Testament, that is) which leads us back to the New. Which always leads us directly to Jesus.

We’ll watch an episode each week and follow along with a study guide for season 1 of The Chosen, an 8-part TV series about the life of Jesus. This will give us a deeper look at Isaiah 43 and its fulfillment in Jesus and the lives of His followers (including us!). We will also be doing a few serve opportunities in the community throughout the semester.

Study guides can be purchased online, although I have a few copies for purchase while they last ($20 each). Link to Study Guide (What Does It Mean to Be Chosen - Amazon.ca) - https://tinyurl.com/2p97y3uz

You can join anytime. Contact the meeting facilitator if you are interested in the On-Line groups. We offer a meal (optional) at 6:00, $7 per person or $15 for a family.

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to learn how to celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the use of the 8 Recovery Principles based on the Beatitudes. By applying these Biblical principles, we grow spiritually and become free from our hurts, our hang-ups and our habits. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God. Through this program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ. There is HOPE, and our lives can be changed. We meet every Friday Night.

Description: When we look at the last couple of years, it is easy to see how quickly our foundations can be shaken. Most of us build our lives around our families, our jobs, our activities, and our friends. We’ve seen how quickly those things can crumble and make us feel unsettled.

This should open our eyes to the fact that we have to build our lives on the foundation of Jesus and His way. Then whether we are feeling overjoyed or overwhelmed, whether we are employed or not, whether we are with our friends or on our own, He is the summit where our feet are.

Foundations is a course that is meant to help us build our lives on Him. This is a course for those of us who are Christians but who want to dig deeper into what it means and looks like to actually follow Jesus – to be His disciples. We want to learn how to think well about things so that we can live them out in a way that helps us represent God to the world around us. Over 8 weeks we will immerse ourselves in the things of God, recognizing that what we do flows out of what we believe.

Description: Deeper is designed to be a loving and safe community to learn how to hear God’s voice for yourself and for others. It
is also designed to demystify what prophecy is and provide opportunities to encounter Father God, Jesus and Holy
Spirit through a variety of worship experiences and listening exercises.

One of the foundational principles of this course is that Christians hear the voice of God (John 10:27). Hearing God’s voice for others is what the Bible calls the ministry and gift of prophecy. Learning to hear God’s voice and learning about the gift of prophecy will be taught in alignment with biblical principles (1 Cor. 14) and practiced within the Deeper community.

Deeper classes will be run every other week at CrossRoads Church, beginning January 20th, 2021 (Thursday) & completing on April 21st (Part 1) with the possibility of continuing until June 30th (Part 2). We will be meeting from 6:30pm to 9:00pm. Commitment to attendance is important as each teaching builds on itself but participants may choose to take only Part 1 of the course if they choose.

Price for participant’s guide is $50.

If you have any questions, please contact Olga & Hannah at DeeperInRedDeer@gmail.com

Church has enough groups for couples – this is a place where you can celebrate the single life that God has you in! Life isn’t meant to be lived in the hallway, waiting for the relationship door to open so you can be accepted. You’re not a third wheel - you’re here, exactly where you’re supposed to be, for such a time as this. REdefined is a safe and fun place to meet new people and build friendships with others like you.

Join us for our first meet on Saturday, January 22, in the Foyer at CrossRoads Church. We’re shooting for a casual coffee shop / campfire atmosphere (bring your own coffee!) mixed with a few different games, some encouragement and time to get to know some of the other single adults in our church and community. At our first meetup we’ll also talk about where the idea for REdefined came from and what we feel God might be up to through this group.

You can also find us online at www.facebook.com/REdefinedRedDeer

If you know any single adults (ages 30-50) searching for a place to belong, invite them to join us. Good community makes all the difference – come and be a part of ours!

Day: Thursday   Time of day: 06:30pm   Frequency: Every other week   Start Date: 01/13/2022  
Location: Theatre Room   City: Red Deer   Topic: Inner Healing & Deliverance  
Group Type: Growth   Gender Mix: Mixed   Lifestage: Any Adult  
Description: There are many Christians who seem to be doing everything right yet continue to struggle with internal issues despite their best efforts. So why do we continue to wrestle with strongholds like insecurity, anxiety, anger, or chronic depression? Is it possible to truly walk in freedom?

Inner healing focuses on the Biblical principles of forgiveness, confession, and recognizing identity lies to bring a deep-level healing and freedom to the WHOLE person – spirit, emotions and body – through the healing power of Jesus. This course will equip you with an understanding of inner healing and deliverance methods and allow you to help others around you walk in freedom through a closer relationship with the Lord.

If you are involved in leading Bible Studies, youth groups, prayer ministry, or other kinds of mentoring, coaching or counseling ministries, then these tools will be useful. You will also learn how our God-given authority, spiritual gifts, discernment, and a strong community are critical elements of effective inner healing or deliverance ministries. Each session will include teaching around a focused area, followed by discussion and practice in small groups.
