Concluding Communion Confusion with guest speaker Neal Aligood.

This summer we will turn our spotlight on The Cost of Love. While we've spent the entire year focusing on the importance of us Loving out Loud, this series won't really talk about us at all. Rather we will study the cost of God's love for us.

We've watched couples light a unity candle during their wedding ceremony. Supposedly as two candles are used to light one, they are symbolically saying that two lives are becoming one. The only problem is most couples fail to answer "Which One?" Thus conflict begins. So how do you fix conflict? Or better, can it be fixed?

Breathing the Air of EternityText: Exodus 20:8-11We live in a blizzard of deadlines and over-commitment. Addicted to productivity, we cram as much into our smartphones as possible to make the most of every spare minute. But are we missing something in the blizzard? Is there more to life?

Nothing enlarges our soul more than grief and loss. In fact, the Bible teaches that grieving is indeispensable to spiritual maturity. So how can we learn to grieve a death, the loss of a dream, a relationship destroyed, or even the loss of a job? And how does this help us love God and others more?

The Christian life is a journey. Like every journey, following Christ involves starts & stops, delays & detours & even trips into the unknown. But follow Jesus long enough eand eventually He will bring you to the Wall (or as the ancients called it the dark night of the soul). Your choice at the Wall may be your most critical spiritual decision.

Ther are many influencers that shape our lives (our friends, media our environment), but none is more powerful than the families of our youth. In this study we will learn how breaking the destructive patterns of our past frees us to live in our present and run into our future.

Becoming the Real YouText: Mark 12:31 & Luke 4:1-13Peter Scazzero says, "The vast majority of us go to our graves without knowing who we really are. We unconsciously live someone else's life, or at least someone else's expectations for us. And this does violence to ourselves, our relationship with God & with others."Could it be that one of the reasons we struggle to love other people is our struggle to love ourselves?

Why is it that so many Christians make such lousy human beings? Why is it that a person can attend church for decades, quote Scripture profusely, and show all the outward signs of spiritual maturity yet struggle with bouts of depression or battle with personal addiction or use their inappropriate personal behavior to control everyone around them? Could it be that our definitions of spiritual maturity fall short on emotional health?
