Spiritually Strong Men
May 16, 2015 • Phil Foley
There may be only a few things more broken in our day than manhood and headship in relation to women and families. The price of this brokenness is enormous, but this pattern does not have to continue. Through Christ, men have the power to live differently.

Teens: Gaining A Vision For Your Life That Counts For Eternity
May 16, 2015 • Vincent Bradshaw
Can a youth change a nation? Definitely. God used Joseph, David and Daniel in this way. However, no one started earlier than Samuel. From the age of three, he was apart from his parents, living among priests, prophesying of wickedness and training in righteousness. Be a Samuel - start now - do great things for God.

Teaching Our Kids To Be Bereans
May 16, 2015 • Thomas Kawazoe
The goal of this break-out session is to help all of us be better prepared to teach God’s Word. Acts 17:11 commends the Bereans to us as people who received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily. And then verse 12 adds: therefore many of them believed. Our hope is that God would save many children, in our churches and in our homes. We want to examine how we can be a part of His great plan of salvation as we strive to be Bereans, growing and maturing in our practical ability to teach the Bible to young people. With the end result that those we teach will be Bereans themselves. Emphasis will be placed on reviewing tools that might be used to teach and equip this age group.
