Strengthening Your Grip on Priorities

Date: 
February 19-20, 2025
Series:
Scripture: 
1 Thessalonians 2:1-13
Topic:
Priorities govern the words of spiritual nourishment that come from the pulpit. It’s easy to see a church’s priorities when the ministry is just starting out, when the ink of the congregation’s ideals is still wet on the paper. But later on, when storms roll in, the priority list can get blown away in a gust of confusion.

Strengthening Your Grip on Involvement

Date: 
February 21-24, 2025
Series:
Scripture: 
Romans 12:9-16Acts 2:42-471 Corinthians 12:20-27
Topic:
Itʼs a bit dismaying to realize that you’re going to be spending eternity with people in the family of God you don’t even speak with on earth! Quite frankly, when someone has wounded us with his or her sharp quills, it’s natural to want to keep our distance. But we do need each other, needles and all!

Strengthening Your Grip on Purity

Date: 
February 28-March 4, 2025
Series:
Scripture: 
1 Thessalonians 4:1-5Matthew 18:15-17
Topic:
Far too many Christians have bought into the “pursue pleasure at all costs” philosophy. Marriages are breaking up at almost the same rate inside the Church as outside. Christian leaders often create just as much scandal as any movie star. And many churches no longer place holy living at the top of their priority list. But purity, as Paul explained in Romans 6, is a powerful alternative to our culture’s formula for living.

Strengthening Your Grip on Integrity

Date: 
March 10-11, 2025
Series:
Scripture: 
Psalm 75:5-7, 78:70-72
Topic:
Though Christians should strive for personal integrity, we must remember that integrity does not equate sinless perfection. No one can achieve that goal in this life. A person with integrity doesn’t hide his or her shortcomings but confesses them to the Lord and to others. Let’s learn more about integrity in this lesson.

Strengthening Your Grip on Attitudes

Date: 
March 31-April 2, 2025
Series:
Scripture: 
Philippians 2:1-5, 2:14, 4:4-8
Topic:
The Nazis stripped Victor Frankl’s life down to almost nothing. Once a renowned psychiatrist, Frankl was reduced to being a slave labourer at the notorious death camp Auschwitz. He could have seethed with hate and self-pity but, instead, Frankl realized that the Nazis could never steal, shape, or dictate his attitude.

Strengthening Your Grip on Evangelism

Date: 
April 3-4, 2025
Series:
Scripture: 
Acts 8:25-39
Topic:
We’ve probably all been in situations—maybe on a plane or at a convention—when the topic of religion came up and we had to face the inevitable dialogue with a nonbeliever. We’ve usually ended up feeling awkward and uncomfortable, and we've walked away wondering, What could I have said or done not only to win a hearing but to keep a hearing? Acts 8 has some answers for the apprehensive evangelist.
