From television to magazines, we live in a world where everything is airbrushed, edited, and cleaned up to sell a product or look good. Whether it is the spin of the media or the scripted “reality show,” do you ever just long for something honest and straightforward in life? The book of James lays it on the line with raw and uncensored instruction on keepin’ the faith real in an edited world.

Students are gathered at 6:30am, ready to depart on their adventure.

From June 20-29, 2008 twelve members from our Under The Oak high school ministry traveled to Tampa, FL to participate in a mission retreat sponsored by TEAMeffort. They ministered to an inner-city church, helping to run a Vacation Bible School for the local children. This was also a great opportunity for our students to grow closer together and closer in their relationship with God. See all 1,147 photos on our Flickr and watch the slideshow on YouTube.

Christ came to earth and broke every cultural boundary of the day. Unashamedly, He befriended sinners, loved the unlovable, and healed the broken. His love is radical, liberating, and faithful. He pursues us even in our sinful state. That’s an amazing, beyond boundaries kind of love. We didn’t earn it and we don’t deserve it. Beyond Boundaries takes you into the heart of God to reveal His desire for an intimate relationship with you and to teach you how to love others.

Classes will be held directly after the worship services, beginning at 12:30pm. A light lunch will be provided, and childcare is available upon request.

The Bible Study “Connecting the Body of Christ” was written to spark thought and discussion among church members regarding the people of God caring for one another in many different ways.

This study particularly focuses in on the concept of believers providing support and guidance for other believers who are struggling emotionally, behaviorally, and spiritually. It seeks to encourage Christians to look to the Word of God where, through enlightenment by the Holy Spirit, they will find godly principles for life that they can use themselves and share with others.

As class members move through the study, they will be reminded of how the Body of Believers, with Christ as its Head, functions together for the growth of the church. Members will identify ways that they can serve. Finally, the participants will be introduced to Cross Connections, a ministry which provides opportunities for lay people to receive formalized training in specific areas of Christ-centered counseling.
