September 21 from 6:00 PM -8:00 PM
October 19 from 6:00 PM-8:00 PM
November 16 from 6:00 PM-8:00 PM
You asked for it, you got it! Many of you shared how eye opening the intensive seminar has been for you. So much so that you requested refresher courses to help you grow in the freedom you began to experience.
In the refresher course you will learn more advanced skills in applying the 9 steps to Freedom in Christ, keeping in mind that these steps are not a formula but a means to a deeper more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and others.
This is an opportunity to continue down the path of freedom for Which Christ purchased for you at Calvary. Space is limited so sign up by emailing me as to which refresher course(s) you will be attending. Cost for the refresher course is $15.
Quotes and Contemplations -- Wisdom for your soul
"The Christian church is plagued today, perhaps even more than in other times with slick immediate answers to such spiritual difficulties....No short-cut that tries to by-pass the patient unfolding of the true character of God, and our relationship with him as his children, can ever succeed in providing long-term spiritual therapy...But the knowledge that the Father has bestowed his love on us, so that we are called children of God (1 John 3:1-2) will, over time, prove to be the solvent in which our fears, mistrust, and suspicion of God - as well as our sense of distance from him - will eventually dissolve."
Sinclair Ferguson from Children of the Living God
Each month we will draw a name from our newsletter database. Make sure when you sign up for YCCC you include your first and last name so we can properly identify you. In order to find out if you won, simply read YCCC each month when it is delivered to your email box. If you are the winner, simply email me with your mailing address and I will send your book to you. It's as simple as that.
Depression Help from the Book of Ruth
Depression will affect 10%-25% of women and 5%-12% of men at some point in their life time. Worse than that, nearly 100% of people will be affected by depression either personally or through someone they know.
The good news is 80%-90% of people who seek treatment will report feeling better in a few weeks. Many people may be experiencing the symptoms of depression but because they don't consider themselves sad or they don't cry all the time they overlook the signs. There is much help for depression...which can be a devastating condition...one in which you may feel very alone and misunderstood.
Naomi, from the book of Ruth suffered serious depression. This article contains many wonderful depression help tips found in the book of Ruth. Another way to help overcome depression is to gain a greater understanding of the finished work of Christ in your life. The Search for Significance Intensive Seminar and is designed to help you do exactly that. Email me today to sign up for the course.
