As you plan ahead for your group study, many of you are having a tough time knowing when (until the last minute) it's going to be right for your group to use Crosspointe messages, and when you need to go in a different direction, unrelated to what we are covering on Sundays. So, this should help a little:
These are the general themes through the end of this year for Sundays. Each series may not be titled at present, but the subject matter has been established. (You will be able to access this list later in the right hand column of this blog.)
- 3/2-3/23 The Trouble With Jesus (Easter Series)- Discussing the difficult and counter cultural ways that Jesus lived and saw life. This will deal with Sabbath, problem solving, being motivated by what motivates Him, and living the resurrection.
- 3/30-5/4 Wisdom Series. This series will deal with wisdom and how it surpasses morality, helping us to see that what God wants for us is life well lived. Fearing God, diligent seeking, understanding, courage/risk, honesty will all be topics covered.\
- 5/11-6/1 Worship. We will spend 4 weeks talking about worship in our daily lives, as individuals and as a body. We will spend time looking at music, and what we are actually doing when we sing together. We will cover awe and capturing the sense of being in God's presence.
- 6/8-6/29 Family/Parenting/Marriage. Plenty in this series for everyone!
- 7/6-7/27 Suffering. This 4 week look at what suffering is ( and isn't) will help us understand its relationship to God and how He transform us.
- 8/3-8/31 Re Actions. The Bible tells the story of renewal over and over again. This series will explore more ways for us to align ourselves with God's renewal in us and thru us, His reconciling of all things and how this plays out in daily living.
- 9/7-9/28 God's Politics. Don't worry, we're not telling people who to vote for. Or even who not to vote for. This 4 week series is to help us see issues that many of us have made political for what they really are.
- 10/5-10/26 Prayer. We will cover many sides, but certainly not all: Hearing God, Praying Scripture, The Holy Spirit and some practical how to.
- 11/2-11/23 Drive III. Updates on what God has done as we complete our second year of Drive. Stories from things we have strategically tackled will be shared, and we will continue to move and dream as a community about what's to come! \
- 11/30 Thanksgiving. Stand alone message.
- 12/7-12/21 Christmas Series.
- 12/28 Stand alone message.
Hope this helps. In addition to this, you will be seeing a curriculum list soon, which will lay out the best studies on specific issues we can provide. These two resources should make selecting a course of study as easy, relevant, helpful, challenging and on the mark for your group as ever!
