STUDIES & RESOURCES
We would like to equip you as a leader with resources to have great participation and growth in your group. Below are various studies that are available. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Antoniak
Previous Message Series:
Our Message Series is “The Gospel of Mark: The Upside-Down Kingdom.” Navigate the book of Mark from the beginning to its culmination on Easter Sunday. What we will discover is that the way of life that Jesus was unveiling is very different from our natural tendencies. In fact, often it is the exact opposite. Here are some of the themes we discovered together: hearing God’s voice, feeling rested, healing, prayer, miracles, extended family, limitations, true greatness, death, and eternal life. Much of what we will discover does not come natural to us, but it is accessible to us through God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. If your group would like to journey through the Book of Mark, below are two resources.
Discussion questions based on the weekend message, will be posted weekly HERE
