Workshops
Waiting for Our Exodus (OH 109, Friday and Saturday afternoon) – Gary House – The Christian life is a journey. It begins with our exodus from our slavery to sin and ends in eternal glory. In between, we journey through a fallen world where we meet many temptations and trials. We will look into the Scriptures to see what God has given us so that our journey may be filled with great hope.
Addressing Addiction (OH 109, Saturday morning) - Dave Mason – Addiction, which is a misunderstood epidemic in our world today, is not identified for what it actually is, and is generally treated as a social problem or even a genetic disorder. It is far broader reaching in scope than substance abuse and can be as subtle as an eating disorder, anger issues, or even being overly dependent or engrossed with our cell phones. This workshop will explore the Ladder to Recovery, a Bible based method of addressing the issue.
The Dating Journey - Dating Questions (OH 125) – Pastor Kirt & Mei Lan Thallman – Some say “love is blind” and “fools rush in”. Before you meet Prince Charming or Cinderella, analyze and answer these questions to help you date healthily and holistically, reduce heartache and reach the goals God wants.
Fear of God (OH 114) – Simon Boenaidi - Is God supposed to be scary? The Bible shows that God isn’t trying to scare us into believing him. Instead, Exodus chapter one shows us that fearing God gives us life-giving courage. Let’s explore together how the Bible helps us rethink beliefs that may not be helping us.
How to Read the Bible (OH 302) – Justin Young – Because the Bible is a big book with a big message, we may be so overwhelmed that we don’t know where to start. Join us as we take small steps in learning how to understand this big book.
Speaking Boldly with God: What Moses Teaches Us about Prayer (OH 303) – Jessica Lee – When life feels overwhelming or when it seems like God has abandoned us, it can be difficult to know how to pray. Moses felt all of those things, and he spoke with God face to face. Come learn from Moses how we can speak boldly with God in the midst of discontent.
Journey through Persecution and Suffering (OH 306) – Elliot Lee – When Christians live in the broken, imperfect world, we may go through persecution, suffering, and depression. How should we deal with them wisely? What does the Bible say about them?
