Presence: Our Summer Series & Challenge to You




God invites us to draw closer to him and to seek his face so that we can dwell in his presence. It's a good invitation that shouldn't be passed up. This summer we'll be challenging each other to personally go deeper with our relationship with Jesus. Our goal is to be significantly different at the end of this summer as a result of spending intimate time with God, because why stay the same when God invites us to be more like Christ?

As a practical way of getting there we'll be reading two books during our 12-week Presence series. The first is Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations authored by Alex and Brett Harris, two 19-year-old's who refused to be limited by cultural lies for the youth. Each week this summer we'll be reading 1-2 chapters and discussing and amplifying it in a small group during the week and meet back to review at our Sunday night ONE meetings.

The second book we'll be going through is the Purple book which will help us continue building a solid foundation in Christ. Together these two books should open our eyes and hearts and compel us to a stronger and more intimate relationship with Jesus.

Below is the schedule that outlines the chapters that we'll be covering over the weeks. Please refer to it or copy it from here for your use. If you have not yet joined a small group please contact us for more info. It's not late to join in with us during these series, so we hope you'll join us at ONE.
