Longhorns for Christ

Developing and maintaining relationship with God is not an easy thing for most of us. Seeking discipline in our growth is necessary. How we can each find the ways that help us stay connected with God. Speaker: Annette Sharp

Steve Brothers explores UA’s All God’s Children ministry with the homeless and how our love for the less fortunate is a reflection of who we are in Christ.

Faith is never to be done alone. Why developing meaningful and intimate community is essential to growing in God. A look at Acts 2:42-27 and the introduction of LFC Fall Life Groups and Fall Retreat. Speaker: Cary McCall

Our call from Christ is not just to bury ourselves in God or the comfort zone of people we love. Our experience with God should motivate us to a life of mission that flows from the ways we are transformed. From the story of the leper and Jesus from Mark 1:40-45. Speaker: Cary McCall

Life seeks to control us with constant responsibilities, distractions, demands, and stimuli. How Christ is helping us to take the reigns and say yes to some things and no to others, and always give time to Him. Speaker: Chris Hall

Sin is addictive. We are drawn to it, enticed by it, and captured by it. How Christ is empowering us to take control of the forces that draw us away from God.

It’s easy to judge people around us in overt and subtle ways, especially those different from us. Jesus’ kingdom vision, however, calls us to powerful unity among all humanity. Why confronting and defeating our biases –gender, racial, economic, religious –is crucial for disciples

People are difficult, both others and ourselves, which is why we often attach ourselves only to the people we like. Jesus gave his time, energy, and attention to those who were often outcast, showing us how to both seek and offer radical acceptance. Speaker: Cary McCall

Depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues rob us of joy, life, and community. How Jesus is guiding us to seek light in the darkness that surrounds many of us. Amanda Campbell, Licensed Professional Therapist, gives spiritual and practical guidance on the issue, and Kevin LaTorre shares his experiences.

Fear is anxiety produced by the unknown or things we can't control. Why the hope and presence of Christ compels us to face fear with faith and believe we are guided every day by one for whom nothing is unknown. A look at Peter from Matthew 14. Speaker: Cary McCall
