Abba;s Child
Leaders: Lisa Ra Jennifer Kao

Many of us have heard that we are beloved by God, but many of us also find ourselves struggling to believe that. Sometimes we find it hard to believe that God loves us for who we are and we buy into the lie that God smiles at us when we are doing well and frowns upon us when we are not. But the truth is that we have become very good at hiding our true condition from both God and ourselves. We deny God access to all that is broken and in need of healing. Come and learn how you can finally claim your true identity as God;s Child;Abba;s Child and experience his utmost desire and pleasure in us.

Esther: The Power, The Kingdom, The Glory
Leader: Bruce Feffer

Sex! Power! Conspiracy!
The Old Testament Book of Esther reads like a modern day suspense novel.Some modern commentators have criticized Queen Estheras an ambitious young woman who used her beauty to gain power and status, while others revere her as a hero who risked her life to save her people. Esther's story serves as the foundation for a Jewish Holiday (Purim)that has been celebrated for over two thousand years. Who is Esther and what can we learn from her story? Why do modern conservatives and liberals both find something to dislike and admire about her? Most importantly, in a Bible story that makes no mention of God, what can we learn about how He works in our every day lives? Please join us for an in-depth study of an ancient story with very modern lessons for all of us.

If You Want To Walk On Water, You;ve Got To Get Out Of The Boat
Leader: Christine Lee

A lot of us live out faith casually, never leaving our comfort zones. However, we know deep within that Christ has not called us to comfort, but to a sacrificial yet exciting and fulfilling life of faith. Let's learn how to step out of our boats of casual Christianity and onto the risky, exhilarating waters of the high seas. Have your trust in God deepened and your faith renewed, not as something that's a constant struggle, but as something that's an adventure.
