This series of studies has been designed specifically to help a group become a small, closely knit community motivated and empowered to worship and serve God.
Each book in the series will help your group pursue the mystery of God, encourage the meeting of each other's needs, and how to live practically and genuinely in today's complex world.
9 sessions per book. Session format: overview, on your own, group discovery, let's act, group worship. Bible text included, final two sessions deal with personal and group application.

Change isn't easy, but change is what being a Christian is all about. When the Holy Spirit enters our lives, He initiates a process of transforming us into people who think, feel, and act like Jesus Christ.
Many of us have misconceptions about how the process works, and, consequently, we aren't sure how best to facilitate it. What is our part, and what is God's? How does repentence work? What purposes do the spiritual disciplines serve? What role does suffering play in the process, and how can other people help?
This study is designed to help you answer these questions so that you'll be better equipped to cooperate with the change God desires in your life.
