Current Series: "Going Small"

Many churches are trying to get bigger!  What if the key to spiritual growth is by getting smaller?  Jesus' disciples became world-changers.  But how?  Perhaps one of the most important lessons we learn from Jesus' disciple-making process is one we often overlook: Jesus made disciples in a small group context.  This summer, we will look at some of the away-from-the-spotlight moments Jesus had with his disciples and how these moments were central in helping them become men and women who could lead the Church.  Finally, we will ask how this small group principle fits into our life at PPUCC.

July 17, 2011: "Change You Can Believe In" Mark 1:16-20, 2 Corinthians 5:17-18.  We've learned to be cynical of anyone who promises us a changed life.  Why do Christians have reason to believe in real transformation?

July 10, 2011: "It's Personal"  Mark 1:16-20.  Is Christianity about following a set of rules?  A set of religious traditions?  A system of morals?  A crutch for struggling people?  Well whatever else it is, doesn't it begin by being personal?  We'll see as Jesus calls his first disciples.

July 3, 2011: "Dual Citizenship" Jeremiah 29:1-14, Luke 18: 9-14.  As American Christians, we are dual citizens.  But which citizenship is primary and drives the other?  How do we relate to our country as Christians?
