G.I.F.T. (Growing in Faith Together)

What questions do you wrestle with in your faith? How can you deepen your relationship with God? What are we called to do in this world as Christians? This is a time when adults of all ages gather together to learn, share, and grow in their faith. A variety of different series and opportunities are planned throughout the year and are offered from different ministries within Southminster like Creation Care, Discipling, Mission & Social Justice.

Kathie Lee Gifford invites you to join her as she visits sites in Israel that have impacted her life.  As she shares her story, Rabbi Jason Sobel, a messianic Jewish rabbi who was trained in the ancient rabbinical way, provides fascinating background into the language, culture and heritage making the New Testament come alive. 

In this four-session study and small group discussion, you can walk with Kathie on her journey through the spiritual foundations of her faith. You’ll learn more about the Rock (Jesus Christ), explore the Road (Israel), and dig deeper into the Bible with the Rabbi (God’s Word).

Something profound happens when we follow along the ancient path in the actual places where Jesus was born, where He taught, healed, lived, died and where He was resurrected into heaven.

Breathe – A video by Rob Bell

GIFT Hour: 11:15 AM this Sunday, November 3rd after worship.

BREATHE (Rob Bell):  Do you ever think about taking a breath? Have you thought about your breath from a spiritual perspective? A rabbi once stated that saying the name of God, Y-H-V-H, could be compared with the sounds of breathing. Click Here for the video and handout, regarding our breathing. Learn how an awareness of each breath we take can slow us down and connect us with our LORD and Savior.

Reformation Sunday ~ Martin Luther

GIFT Hour: 11:15 AM Sunday, October 27, Reformation Sunday after worship.

By putting his faith in the Bible as God’s Word over church teachings, Luther “Rediscovered God and Changed the World”.  Metaxas says so much of our secular modern world started from this questioning of church authority. Dennis plans to focus on the critical years of 1517 to 1523.  

My hope and prayer is that other people knowledgeable about Luther will be present and share their comments on Luther.
