“Lies We Love To Believe” 

Teacher: Matthew Icard

Everybody hates being lied to, right? But what if I told you that you’re actually being lied to every single day of your life? The reality is that we live in a world and a culture that is full of deception. We even lie to ourselves on a regular basis! And the really scary part? We love the lies. In this breakout, we will look at many of the lies that we believe about our identity, our purpose, our relationships, and our salvation. We’ll also look at the ways in which the Word of God and the gospel bring us light, freedom, and life in the midst of deception.

“God Reigns: The Sovereignty of God” 

Teacher: Justin Pillsbury

The sovereignty of God, is it possible that this doctrine could lead to a greater, deeper and more abiding joy? It may seem a little more natural to say God reigns in the sweet moments of life, but what happens when we don’t get into the school that all our 25 friends do, or when our parents get divorced, or when our best friend is a superior athlete, or when we become obsessed with our body image, or when we get a cancer diagnosis or we move to a new town? Is it possible for us to praise God in the sweet moments of life as well as the moments it feels like He is slaying us? This beautiful doctrine teaches us our sovereign God is in love with us, for us and is calling us to trust Him. God is using every moment in our lives to bring us near to Him. God’s sovereignty enables us to not lose heart as we trust in His guiding, sustaining, loving and all-sufficient hand. We are in the grip of the loving Father and He will never let us go!

“A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Salvation” 

Teacher: Mike Howell

Do you have any relationships that are broken? Do you struggle with guilt? Do you sometimes worry that God may be angry with 27 you? Are there any bad habits in your life that you cannot break? The Bible addresses all of these issues and more by taking us on a journey to a family home, a courtroom, a temple and a slave market of all things. Come join us as we travel from scene to scene, place to place and see the beauty and hope of Jesus and the unfading salvation he provides.

“Living as a Christian with Anxiety & Depression” 

Teacher: Jacob Morrison

Have you ever experienced that feeling? The feeling of utter

despair? You feel alone or misunderstood. It is like you are

drowning, and everyone is throwing you anvils instead of a life

jacket. Here is the thing: everyone is going to experience the

feeling of anxiety or depression at some point in their life. So

how should you respond when it happens to you? How do you

24

respond when it happens to your friends? The good news is that

the Bible offers more than the never helpful comment, “Just don’t

be anxious.” In fact, Scripture shows us that part of living in a

post-Fall world is struggling with these issues. Come and learn

how we as Christians should think about these complex issues,

provide help to those who are suffering, and see what the Bible

says about giving hope to those in the midst of sorrow.

“Your Pathetic Self for God’s Amazing Purposes” 

Teacher: Corey Pelton

Are you weary of super-Christians who seem to have it all together and do "significant ministry" while you feel average and wonder if God can use you at all? Contrary to what we see with our eyes, what we view as our greatest weaknesses God uses as a way to minister to others. This class will investigate how being vulnerable and admitting our faults and weaknesses can actually be one of our greatest tools, in God's hands, of ministry to others.
