Resources

This spring we are focusing on the letter of Colossians.

Our journey will begin in our Sunday Services through teaching, prayer and worship.

But Sunday service is just the beginning. There are also lots of resources available to help us further learn and apply these important beliefs.

An important part of our spiritual growth is being part of a community group where we get to know each other, can help and pray for each other and apply the truths in the Bible to our daily lives.

For those looking to dive deeper, these resources could be a big help. See these resources below.

Eternity is Now in Session – John Ortberg (Book/ discussion guide study)
- In Eternity Is Now in Session, bestselling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something way out in outer space that we can only hope to experience after we die—and that being saved is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven. Instead, John unpacks the reality that the moment we trust Christ, we are initiated into “eternal living” with God as a here and now reality, one that will continue beyond our life on this earth.
