Week 1 – Is That Enough? (Vision Weekend) :
Pete Hise
Preview
Believing in God is an impractical reality for some of us…like believing in life on other planets or living an eco-friendly life. But what are we really doing about it? Does our lifestyle reflect what we say we believe? What the world needs to see and what our own hearts need as well are people whose beliefs are true- inside and out. Christianity was never meant to be information, but transformation. Go beyond just belief and step into the transformational, authentic work that God wants to do in and through you.

Preview
Worry is an epidemic and the truth is that life is hard. While it may seem small to self identify as a worrier, worry is suffocating. True faith can not survive with worry in the picture. So what does it mean to trust God and follow His Word to not worry? The Bible is clear that God is trustworthy. He has got our finances, our families, our children and our futures. Discover what it means to move beyond belief and the voice of worry into the plans that God has for you.

Week 3 – Don't Cross Me :
Pete Hise
Preview
Despite saying we believe in God, we often are not interested in letting Him have access to certain areas of our lives. We don?t want to be crossed…by people or by God. As long as God doesn?t cross us, everything is fine; but when it gets personal then things get challenging. Jesus wants an all-access pass to every area of our lives, no matter how tough. There aren?t meant to be any areas that are off-limits to Him. In fact, we were made to rest in the leadership of another. What does it look like to surrender every area of your life to Jesus and actually live it out?

Week 4 – Stay Out Of My Bedroom :
Justin McCarty
Preview
To truly understand sex and what it means to live out our belief in God in the bedroom, we have to start with what God says about it. For far too long sex has been a taboo topic in the church, as if God is not for sex at all! The truth is God has tons to say about it. He came up with the idea in the first place and wants it to thrive within the guardrails He has given. We are taking off the Do Not Disturb sign hanging on this area of our lives and talking about it openly and honestly, are you ready?

Week 5 – It is a Personal Thing :

Preview
If the overwhelming majority of Americans say they believe in God, why do they not want to talk about it? Somewhere we have picked up the idea that our faith is confidential. But when you have a loving relationship with someone, you care about the things that they care about. So if it matters to the heart of God for people to share the love they have found, is a relationship with Jesus really meant to be a private thing? Closing this gap may be the key that unlocks the dreams and plans God has for you and the people He has placed in your life.

Pete Hise
Preview
All of us would like more of God’s blessing in our life. What if the missing piece to us experiencing it is tied to our money? God really does want to bless us out of His love for us but He also knows that our hearts and our money go together. Nothing stands a greater chance of ambushing your year and detouring your walk with God like money. So what if we dealt with this topic head on just like the Bible does? We follow the example of the One that loved us so much that He gave. Discover what it means to be a part of a generosity revolution that leaves behind the fear of never having enough!

Week 7 – I Still Hold A Grudge :
Pete Hise
Preview
Jesus said strong things about forgiveness. We love the part where Jesus forgives us, but when He says we have to be forgiving people, we tend to not want to hear it. While we believe in grace and forgiveness and certainly want it for ourselves, when it comes to giving it to those that have wronged us, we would rather have what seems fair. But is fair really what we want? Grudges build walls between us and other people. What might happen if the walls came down and you were able to let others off the hook and live free?

Week 8 – I Still Have Doubts :
Justin McCarty
Preview
Doubt sometimes seems like the smartest position to take, but it can eat away at us and stall out our faith if it goes undetected and untreated. But it doesn’t have to stay that way, breakthrough is possible. What would it look like to move through the gap created in our lives by doubt? Whether the questions come from honest doubt or from a wounded voice, faith and hope can be unleashed in your life as you take your seeking and questions to God.

Week 9 – I Don't Know Him :
Pete Hise
Preview
Throughout this series we have been dealing with the gap between what we believe and how we live. For all the things that you may have been told God wants for your life, His greatest desire is to know you. God does not want you to settle for anything less than a real relationship with Him. A full head of knowledge will not cover an empty heart. There is great news when you find yourself in this gap; you can do something about it! Experience what it means to move beyond believing to knowing Jesus for yourself.
