Breakout Sessions
“Unveiling Scripture”
Session #1: A101
Session #3: C109
Have you ever wondered how a pastor or teacher got so much substance from a passage? There are key principles for unveiling meaning, and interpreting scripture so that we can rightly divide the very words of God. This session is meant to hone our skills as students of the Bible. The very words of God Himself are available to us! Would we seek to know them and love them with all our hearts. Let’s study the word of God together and encourage each other on this life-long journey of knowing God more fully.

“Living Forgiveness”
Session #2: A104
Session #3: A105
We are created in the image of a forgiving God, so while we often don’t “feel” like it, we can forgive. But how? Small offenses may be easy enough to forgive (for some), but what about the really big things? How do we as mere humans walk the high calling of forgiveness, when someone has hurt us deeply? The scriptures guide us and inspire us so that with God we can accomplish what human strength alone cannot, and through forgiveness, we can be free.

“Healthy Conflict: Let’s be Lights in a Dark World”
Session #1: A105
Session #3: Chapel
Our world is full of broken relationships and unhealthy conflict. As Christians we know we should be different—standing out for our love, unity, peacemaking, and hope—but we also know how hard it can be to handle conflict in a way that shines bright. Some of us err on the side of being too passive, interpreting “blessed are the peacemakers” to mean “avoid all conflict.” Others of us engage in confrontation too willingly, intending to speak truth boldly but sometimes hurting others with our forcefulness. Come learn about Biblical assertiveness, how to balance “speaking the truth in love,” and some really practical ways to diffuse unhealthy conflict cycles.

“Friendship: Come as You Are, Love as They Come”
Session #2: A101
Session #3: A105
Odds are there's one place in your home that becomes your hiding spot when people come over, i.e. the junk drawer or the hiding closet. But we not only hide our physical messes we also hide our emotional, mental and spiritual messes. However, this hiding prevents true, deep, lasting friendships. Come join us as we turn to scripture and learn how to have true lasting friendships in the midst of imperfections.
