The Me I Want to Be-- Led by Pastor Brandon this class features John Ortberg’s book and video, Me: The Me I Want to Be.

One designed just for you … one that will enable you to experience God more fully each day.



Discerning the Voice of God-- This DVD Bible study series by Priscilla Shirer is designed to help participants know the voice of God: His language, character, and tone of voice. By growing closer to God through His Word, participants will be able to discern God's voice from the voice of strangers.

Generous: Bible Study Questions for Discussion and Reflection




Read and meditate on 2 Corinthians 8 and 9.

Generous in General:
How do I need to grow in generosity?
When was the last time I was burdened by a need? How did I respond?
Do I see time, talent and treasure as GIFTS form God and not mine?
How am I guarding my heart against greed?

Generous in Time:
Do I control my calendar or do I allow others to control it?
Do I view my time as a gift from God to be managed?
What are some ways I am giving my time to others?

Generous in Talents:
What talents has God entrusted to me?
How am I using the talents God’s given to serve others?
How am I looking for new or more ways to use these talents?

Generous in Treasures:
Have I ever lowered my standard of living so I can give more to others?
Have I ever lent some of my possessions to others to help them, expecting nothing in return?
After looking at my monthly spending, where is there room to give more to others? What could be sacrificed?
