You & Me Forever by Francis Chan
Unlike marriage books that narrow our attention to the marriage itself, You and Me Forever shows how to prioritize our eternal relationship with our Creator above all things—because only when two people are right with God will they be right with each other.

Finding Joy in Philippians
It's easy to be happy when things go well for you. But what would it be like to have a sense of joy that continued even in times of trouble? Such was the deep joy that the apostle Paul experienced, even in prison. His contentment was neither dependent on circumstances nor changed by difficulty. In nine-sessions through Philippians, Paul will show you too how to live joyfully in every situation.

The Treasure Principle By Randy Alcorn
Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead!

Wednesdays, 7-8:30pm

First Corinthians - Good Book Guide
The Corinthians lived in a pagan, promiscuous, competitive, and idolatrous culture. This letter shows us grace in action. We get to watch an exasperated apostle talking to a rebellious and divisive church with a tenderness, affection and faith for transformation that can only come from the power of the Spirit, the example of Christ and the faithfulness of God. It brings hope to Corinthians everywhere, including you and me.
