Romans - In the grip of grace

A Study by Max Lucado


Join us as we explore together the book of Romans. We will use the book “In the Grip of Grace” written by Max Lucado as we walk through the letter from the apostle Paul to the Romans. This important book reveals what the apostle’s words meant to his original readers and how they apply to us today. We will be encouraged as we listen to Max’s teachings and challenged to study the book of Romans. We will also have an optional challenge to read through the book of Romans as a group with a forty day reading plan.

 

In this powerful study, we will find comfort, wisdom, healing and wholeness that comes from discovering that even in our failings, we are always in the grip of God’s grace.


This study will be led by Josh and Megan Keener and Michael and LaDona Teague in Classroom #201.

------------------------------------

We are UNASHAMED, CHRIST-CENTERED PEOPLE, WHO LIVE BY FAITH IN PURSUIT OF DEEPLY TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH JESUS FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD.


Romans 1:16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes; first to the Jew and then to the Gentile.

 

This group gathers weekly on Sunday mornings during the Sunday school time 9:45-10:30 at CrossRoads Community Church. In class we learn together and encourage one another in our faith journey. A few times a year, we gather to share social connections and have fun together. Our group is an eclectic group of young couples, singles, and parents who value learning and community as we follow Christ.

luke in the land

Morning Women's Study | 9:30am-Noon

Led by Lisa Walters in the Chapel


Come along with us as Kristi McLelland helps us follow Jesus in the places He walked – Bethlehem, Galilee, Jerusalem.


In our Bibles, we have four gospels describing Jesus’ time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Land of Israel - the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry is often referred to as the “fifth Gospel.” Our study together will follow Kristi through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Over seven sessions, our study will challenge us to read the accounts of Jesus through the teaching videos that will take us to locations in Israel such as Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, we’ll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everyone.  We hope you will join us for Luke in the Land.

emotionally healthy relationships

Evening Study | 6-8pm

Led by Pastors Johnny & Lisa Walters, Paul Braschler & the EHR Leadership Team in the Chapel


The EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP (EHR) course addresses core biblical principles of relationships that will deeply change our lives. We will learn 8 practical relationship skills to develop mature, loving relationships with others. Since loving others and loving God cannot be separated, each person will also grow in their personal, first-hand relationship with Jesus by incorporating stillness, silence and scripture as daily life rhythms. Join us for a powerful journey that will change forever the way you love God, others and yourself.


We are asking each person in this class to commit to:

  • Weekly reading homework (one chapter per week)
  • Spending daily time with God. (We will give you the tools you need)
  • Participate in small group discussions.
  • Make attendance a priority each week with no more than 2 absences, if at all possible.

The Gospel on the Ground

Evening Women's Study | 6-8pm

Led by Merissa Braschler


Come along with us as Kristi McLelland helps us unpack the life of the early church in the book of Acts through the lens of Middle-eastern culture.  She will highlight how the kingdom of God is always on the move, always looking outward to bring meaning and joy to a world searching for true fulfillment and hope. We will explore the call of Jesus to His disciples then and to us today. We will see how God's Word can sustain us even in the most difficult of times and we’ll be encouraged to embrace the transformative grace we experience as children of God in His kingdom of celebration.


Benefits from being part of this study:

  • Gain deeper insight into the biblical world, including fresh perspective on familiar Bible stories.
  • Ignite a passion to be on mission by examining the work of the early church.
  • Find deep purpose and meaning at the table of God.
  • Find joy in the communal aspect of faith.
  • See how God’s redemptive purposes are unstoppable in the Book of Acts.

We hope you will join us for The Gospel on the Ground.

just for moms

Evening Women's Study | 6-8pm

Led by Haley Casey & Debbie Wren


We are excited to offer “Just for Moms” as an opportunity to encourage MOMS along the journey of raising strong, kind, faith-filled sons and daughters in today’s world. Author and blogger Kari Kampakis will offer practical and realistic encouragement as we journey together. Kari will help us tackle challenges that come with parenting at all ages, even the tough teen years. By improving the foundation, habits and dynamics of relationship, mothers can connect with their children and earn a voice in their lives that allows them to offer guidance, love, wisdom and emotional support. Kari is a mother of four daughters and says she has learned the hard way that as children grow up, mothers must grow up too.


Here are a few ways that Kari encourages moms as we connect with our kids in various seasons of childhood:

  • Choosing words and timing carefully
  • Listening and empathizing with their son or daughter’s world
  • Seeing the good and loving the individual child for who they are
  • Understanding the importance of taking care of Mom and having a support system.

Our goal together is not to “fix” our children or to make them behave. Rather it’s about a mom’s journey, doing the heart work and legwork necessary to love their sons and daughters while still being a strong, steady parent. By admitting her personal failures and prideful mistakes that have hurt relationships with her teenagers, Kari gives mothers hope and reminds them all things are possible through God. By leaning on HIM, mothers gain wisdom, guidance, protection, and clarity they need to grow strong relationships with their children at every age, especially during the critical teen years.


We hope you will join us for “Just for Moms.”


Twelve Ordinary Men

Evening Men's Study | 6-8pm

Led by Jerry Pledger


You don't have to be perfect to do God's work. Look no further than the twelve disciples, whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Jesus chose ordinary men - fishermen, tax collectors, political zealots - and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from people who were otherwise unremarkable.


The twelve disciples were truly human, all too prone to mistakes, misstatements, wrong attitudes, lapses of faith, and bitter failure. Simply put, they were flawed people, just like us. But under Jesus' teaching and touch, they became a force that forever changed the world. 


Author John MacArthur takes us into the inner circle of the disciples - their selection, their training, their personalities, and their incredible impact. As we take a closer look at the lives of these twelve disciples, we will ask difficult questions along the way, including:

  • Why did Jesus pick each of the twelve disciples?
  • How did Jesus teach them everything he could in just eighteen short months?
  • Can the lessons that Jesus taught the disciples still influence our faith today?

In our study of Twelve Ordinary Men, you'll learn that disciples are living proof that God's strength is made perfect in weakness. As we get to know the men who walked with Jesus, we will see that if He can accomplish His purposes through them, He can do the same through us. We hope you will join us for this impactful and encouraging study!
