The Integrated Sermon & Study Series - My Life with God
In July we’re going to be starting an integrated sermon and study series entitled ‘My Life with God’. An integrated sermon and study series is made up of three parts; a sermon, personal reflection and a group study. Each of these elements provides an opportunity to explore a common theme or set of ideas.
Below you find links to the booklets and sermons that relate to each of the three themes of the series. Click on a button to access the booklet or sermon. Additional buttons will be added as the series progresses.
The Three Series Themes
The series will benefit those seeking a balanced approach to Christian spirituality and provide a guide for revitalising, deepening and renewing their relationship with God. You will rediscover time-tested, practical tools for growing spirituality.
As part of the series, we are offering you the opportunity to be involved in a study group. Groups of 6-8 people will meet to explore more deeply the three themes in the series. The three themes are:
1. Contemplative - The Prayer-Filled Life
This study will focus on developing our intimacy with God and giving depth to our spiritual life. Discover how to experience a richer and fuller practice of the presence of God.
2. Holiness - The Virtuous Life
This study will focus on the personal transformation of our heart and mind. Discover how your character can be shaped to become more like Jesus in holiness and virtue.
3. Charismatic - The Spirit-Empowered Life
This study will focus on the gifts and empowerment of the Holy Spirit in everyday life, service and worship. Discover how you can experience the dynamic, life changing work of the Spirit of God within you and in His Church.
Neville will speak on one theme over two Sundays, then the groups will meet for about an hour and a half to study and explore the theme further.
Neville has prepared some excellent group study material and has trained a group of fantastic facilitators to lead the discussion.
The groups will meet 3 times. Once every 2 weeks, between 13 July and 17 August.
Groups will be held at various locations and days/times so you can choose the group that best meets your needs. Below are the details of the groups and when they will be meeting.
