Description: Nobody grows up dreaming of waking up, going to work, heading home, watching Netflix, scrolling through social media, and then doing it all over again the next day until their last breath. We all want to be used to change the world. We don’t want to spend our lives being time-wasters, or space-takers, or binge-watchers, or game-players, or even book-readers. We want to be difference-makers. But it’s easy to get caught up in the everyday stuff of life until the years slowly go by, and with each passing year, the question seems to get louder: Am I making any difference in this world? We want to make a difference, but there are so many opinions on the way to do that. Maybe there’s a different way to make a difference, and we’re just missing it. Without a doubt, Jesus is the person who has made the biggest difference in all of history. So, how did Jesus make such a difference in this world? If we study the story of his life as recorded in the Gospels, there are a number of answers we could highlight, but there’s one particular phrase that captures how Jesus had such an impact, and this phrase is how he wants to use us to make a difference: one at a time. Making a difference isn’t measured by a viral post or a name on a building. It isn’t determined by a following or a fan base. Making a difference isn’t dependent on what’s in your bank account or who’s in your contacts. Want to make a difference? Focus on the one. That’s it. That’s the secret of the way of Jesus. One at a time.

Gender Mix: Co-ed / Mixed
Description: How to find relationships that are good for you and avoid those that aren't.
Countless individuals have invested themselves into people who've shipwrecked their lives in return. They've been abandoned or taken advantage of, and left with little to show for what they've given. They've lost the sense of security and personal value in the process. If you're one who has chosen the wrong people to get involved with or makes the same mistakes about relationships over and over again, then the Safe People book offers you a remedy.
Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend walk you through frank, soul-searching questions into active changes and practical steps for growth.
Safe People gives you solid guidance that will help you:
Correct things within yourself that jeopardize your relational security
Learn the twenty traits of 'unsafe' people
Recognize what makes people trustworthy
Avoid unhealthy relationships
Form positive relationships As God’s people, we are called to respond to conflict in a way that is remarkably different from the way the world deals with conflict. We believe conflict provides an opportunity to glorify God, serve other people, and grow to be like Christ.
