JOSEPH & CHRISTLIKENESS
Begins 9/17 | Sundays, 8:30-9:30am | Fireside Room
This Fall we will be looking at Joseph, a man betrayed by his brothers who became a slave, and betrayed yet again, resulting in imprisonment.
Joseph found himself alone in Egypt and forsaken. But he forgave those responsible. Joseph had no Bible because it did not exist yet.
He was able to forgive long before Jesus taught us to do so. Joseph knew God’s heart and demonstrated Christlikeness.
As a young boy Joseph dreamed that God was going to bring him to a place of greatness. Joseph’s brothers became very resentful of him as the favorite son of their father who dreamed of ruling over them. Thinking that his brothers loved him as much as he loved them, Joseph failed to see their hearts and how much they hated him.
Explore the life of this amazing man of God as he experienced situations that would have crushed the faith of other men and chose Christlikeness instead.
Open to all.

WOMEN'S INDUCTIVE BIBLE STUDY: ROMANS 15 & 16
9/19 - 10/31 | Tuesdays, 9:30-11:00am | Fireside Room
Join us as we finish our study of Paul’s letter to the church at Rome. Paul concludes his message of salvation through grace by teaching grace to those who are strong in faith. He instructs the strong in faith to sacrifice their own desires so that they can live in harmony with those who are weaker in faith and not cause them to sin. Paul closes Romans by praising and glorifying the God of our salvation, stating that the gospel of Jesus Christ “has been made known to all nations” (v16:26), to Jews and Gentiles alike. Plan on several hours of independent study per week and then we will come together to share what God has revealed to us individually.
Open to women.

THE DIVINE CONSPIRACY
Begins 9/19| Tuesdays, 6:30pm | East Menomonie
The Divine Conspiracy is God’s plan to intervene in human life and history today. In a time when most believers do not see Jesus as being relevant to their daily lives, Dallas Willard brings us a picture of daily relationship and conversational intimacy with Jesus as being at the heart of the Gospel. Instead of limiting Jesus to the afterlife, we are all invited into a living discipleship connection with our Lord and Savior that produces abundant life here on earth that will continue into eternity.
Open to all.

CONTAGIOUS FAITH
Begins 9/21 | Thursdays, 6:30pm | Becker Home (South Menomonie)
In our Thursday LifeGroup we will be using a book called Contagious Faith by Mark Mittleberg. In Contagious Faith, author Mark Mittelberg introduces us to the five Contagious Faith Styles: Friendship-Building, Selfless-Serving, Story-Sharing, Reason-Giving, and Truth-Telling. Most of us have one or two of these styles. Some people naturally make nurturing trust-based relationships, others live for the benefit of others with a servant’s heart and naturally open the hearts of others to the Gospel. Many will share a testimony of what God has done for them or others to share their faith, while others enjoy describing all the reasons that we can find to know God loves us. There are also those unique ones who will proclaim Gospel truth boldly and fearlessly. We may imagine all of us need to share truth boldly or we are not sharing the Gospel properly, but Contagious Faith helps us to see that God uses many faith-sharing styles to win people’s hearts. It often takes an unsaved person some time to come to the Lord, and these various styles may all be necessary along the journey as an unbeliever embraces a relationship with Jesus.
