Description: In Colossians 3:10 NLT we are directed to "put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him." The process of becoming more like Jesus is part of our lives, every day. We will be looking at some practical methods for spiritual growth using Poppy Smith's book I'm Too Human To Be Like Jesus.

During class, we will review the highlights of the chapter, and share our responses to the discussion questions. And we will pray!

Homework: Each week, you will be asked to read one chapter from the book (about 20 pages), to do some personal reflection on questions asked in the reading and at the end of the chapter, and to memorize a verse of scripture. Depending on how a particular topic hits you, the assignment might take you one half hour, or it might become your devotions for the whole week. That is up to you and God.

Cost: $3.99 Kindle or $7.99 Paperback (please indicate on the sign-up sheet which).

Description: "Being a mom or dad is one of the most rewarding jobs you'll ever have. And one of the most challenging. The baby that won't sleep grows into the toddler that won't eat who becomes an adolescent that won't communicate. Not every day is a bad day, but all parents need some help and encouragement along the way.

There is an approach to parenting that can reduce the stress and increase the harmony in your home. Based on decades of teaching from Dennis and Barbara Rainey, and featuring insights from other notable parenting advisors, Family Life's Art of Parenting highlights four core issues (Character, Relationships, Identity, and Mission) that every parent and child need to address together."

Homework: There is some work outside of class with thought provoking questions to answer, prayer needs, and figuring out how to implement new strategies.

Description:  As Lou Priolo reminds us, many other things that the Bible exhorts us to do-such as convicting, rebuking, and admonishing other Christians-make conflict a necessary part of the Christian life. Lou takes us through the biblical principles of conflict resolution, beginning before conflict even starts. He shows us the prerequisites we must have in place as we go into conflict, what is at the heart of our conflict, what makes it biblical or unbiblical, and how we should respond to it. He also shares practical steps and advice, giving us specific talking points to resolve conflict and journaling exercises that help us to grow when it happens. Learn how to "make every effort" to maintain unity-even when that effort must start with conflict! 

Homework: No official homework. Unofficial homework if you want to practice biblical conflict resolution.

Cost: Paperback: $15.99 Kindle Version: 9.99 (must be purchased yourself)
