I’d Like You More if You Were More like Me We want people in our lives we can trust, confide in, and turn to when life gets tough—people who not only appreciate our gifts, but who are also fully aware of our flaws and failures and want to be with us anyway. These relationships are built through a thousand tiny moments—shared experiences with each other throughout our daily lives. Which means more meaningful relationships with your spouse, friends, kids, coworkers, and even God, are attainable and easier to create than you think. In I’d Like You More if You Were More Like Me,  John Ortberg will show you how to recognize moments in which you can build connections with others and…

In All the Places To Go… How Will You Know?, bestselling author John Ortberg opens our eyes to the countless doors God places before us every day, teaches us how to recognize them, and gives us the encouragement to step out in faith and embrace all of the extraordinary opportunities that…

Signs : Earth : Was Solomon right ? As the poet Solomon said, “There is nothing new under the sun.” McManus once resonated with the loneliness of Solomon’s words. He wondered what good could come from the emptiness of the world. Then he looked more closely. He saw sprouts cracking dirt. He saw God breathing warmth into dust. And he saw earth transform from darkness to a source of life. Earth explores the contrast between spiritual barrenness and God’s promise that He is doing a new thing for His creation. Signs : Wind Is there anything more mysterious than wind? We can’t see it, and yet we feel it brush our faces every day. In the Scriptures when “God’s Spirit…

A seven-part film series about hope, featuring Ed Dobson. This DVD includes all seven films: It Ain’t Over, Consider the Birds, Be There, My Garden, Ask Forgiveness, Grateful, and Healing . It Ain’t Over – Ed reminds us that life isn’t over yet and that we don’t have to feel overwhelmed by the struggles we’re facing today. Difficult news can sometimes make us feel like our lives are over. Ed shows us that we don’t know the future, and that things may turn out quite differently from what we expect. Ed has Motor Neuron Disease (ALS) and this can be a tough watch if you have friends on this difficult journey. I couldn’t watch it while my friend was dying of this.

Trends come and go in our culture and the church seems to follow. BASIC is a seven-part series of short films that challenges us to reclaim the church as Scripture describes it to be. Francis Chan put this 7 session DVD together for  those who have questions about the church and to those who may have lost interest in the church.  He does tend to gush forth ideas and you may not agree with his assumptions, but he will get you thinking and talking about what Church is. (Hint: We are church).

We seek to build a library of resources that might make it easy to run life groups. As part of this we generally produce notes from a Sunday message that we hope are suitable for small group discussions. We’re also building a library of DVD material that might make it easy.
