 | Women's Elective Me, Myself, & Lies Words are powerful. Especially the words women speak to themselves. All too often, what they say to themselves when they lie in bed at night or look in the mirror in the morning is not even close to the words God wants them to speak to their souls. According to Rothschild, what we think about often has a ripple effect in nearly every area of our lives. In this interactive DVD series Jennifer Rothschild encourages women to clean out the junk in thier minds and replace hidden negative thoughts with positive truths from God's Word.

 | Elective Jesus & Jewish Customs Sometimes as we read the Gospels, Jesus will do something that either doesn't make sense to us or wonder why the Pharisees and people made a big deal of it.

 | Youth Elective Crazy Love Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe-the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not. We all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacencyisn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything. |
 | Young Adult Elective Crave An Exploration of the Human Spirit All of our soul cravings can be traced to three distinct longings:intimacy, destiny and meaning. Our capacities for spiritual experience both prove our need for something greater than ourselves and leave us wanting when we fill it with anything but God. Crave helps individuals meet these cravings with what only God can provide. Teacher: Lamar Hobbs Suggested Donation: $8.00 |
