“Just Like Air, God is There”
Trust God's Transforming Power
Wouldn’t it be nice to fast-forward some parts of life that seem too slow like the dentist chair or a cringeworthy moment? But would you do that with your spiritual development that sometimes feels slow? You know God is at work, but it's hard to see real progress day-to-day. In this session of our Square One series, we're tackling one of the biggest questions in the Christian walk: "How will God work in me?" We dive into some powerful images from Scripture to get at the answer, like the vine and branches, walking in the Spirit, and what it means to go back to the garden. Transformation happens when we die to the old self and are raised to a new life where God partners with us. It’s about his power, not just our effort. Join us for the discussion, and get ready to envision the new person God wants to help us become!
“The Queen of Cleansing”
See How God Washes Your Sins Away
What’s the story with baptism? In Session 8 of our Square One series, we’re giving into the deep end of this important topic. From the Nintendo reset button to the profound transformations described in scripture, we’ve got it covered. We break down Romans 6:1-14 and explore how the story of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection becomes our story. Plus, we dive into Old Testament stories that foreshadow baptism. Listen along as we consider how God changes our identity through baptism and prepares us for a new life in Christ. Hope you enjoy the episode!
“Ruined It for Everybody”
Turn Your Life Over to God
Ready for a difficult discussion about repentance? We’re into Square One session 7 exploring how life changes when we get closer to a relationship with Christ. It’s about living a new life in faith by shedding old, destructive, and unhealthy habits. How does the prodigal son’s story teach us about repentance and God's joy in our return to him? We consider personal life changes, the struggles of taming the tongue, and the importance of continually aligning ourselves with God's will. And why certain foods make us a little … uncomfortable?! Get ready for some real talk on transformation and faith!
“Coming Out of Your Pores”
Grow Closer to Jesus
What's so great about Jesus? Here in Square One session 6, we reflect on Matthew 27-28, share our thoughts on the characteristics of true friendship, and unpack the story of Lazarus from John 11. From Jesus' compassion, unwavering commitment, and wise counsel, join us as we uncover why Jesus is the ultimate friend we all need. Plus, we discuss our favorite friendship stories, chat about how Jesus' love changes our lives, and pose a thought-provoking question: If you could ask a friend to help with something important in your life, what would it be? Let's grow closer to Jesus together!
