The Truth Project

By Focus on the Family  (12 weeks)
Leader:  Denie Dalton

This is God’s promise: “renewing of the mind” brings about a true transformation that will keep us from conforming to the world.  We are in a battle for Truth.  The Truth that we seek--and the Truth that stands directly opposed to the lies of the world, the flesh, and the devil is found ultimately in the character and being of God Himself.  This study is the starting point for looking at life from a Biblical perspective.  Each lesson discusses the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview
in daily life and is designed to build a comprehensive, systematic Biblical worldview.
Approximately 1 hour of homework each week.

 

Believing God

by Beth Moore  (12 weeks)
Leaders:  Colleen Fuentes & Hilary Lay

Do you take God at His word, believing what He has told us, or do you just believe in His existence and the salvation He offers?  Based on Isaiah 43:10, Believing God explores what it means to believe God not just merely believe in Him. Through studying the lives of Abraham, Moses, and others from Hebrews 11 as examples of persons who believed God, Beth encourages us to deepen our trust and receive a fresh word from Him.  Do you believe God or merely believe in Him?
Approximately 30 minutes of homework each day.
