BOOK:  Uninvited-Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out and Lonely by Lysa TerKeurst
ISBN: 9781400205875

We will learn how to stop feeling left out, embrace God-honoring ways to process our hurt, pray in a way to restore confidence, and work on overcoming the core fears that feed our insecurities. This study reminds us that we are destined for a love that does not reject or uninvite.

When a Nation Forgets God

Leaders - April Biggs & Nancy Padjen
HOMEWORK: 1 hour/week
LEVEL:  All

BOOK: When a Nation Forgets God by Erwin Lutzer
ISBN:   9780802413284

If you appreciate history and desire to study it alongside the Word of God, then this study just might be what  you are looking for. The purpose is NOT to debate political or social issues, but rather, learn from a generation that lived at a time when a nation forgot God. What was going on with the Church in Germany during Hitler’s rise to power? How did individuals respond to the darkness that swept across their country? What lessons can we learn from this time in history? My hope is that as we take a long look at the warnings  from history, we would, at the same time, be filled with tremendous encouragement.
