Pursuing Spiritual Transformation Series

John Ortberg, Laurie Pederson, Judson Poling

The Pursuing Spiritual Transformation series is all about being spiritual. But that may not mean what you think.

Do you consider yourself a spiritual person? What does that mean? Does spiritual growth seem like an impossible amount of work? Do you have a clear picture of the kind of life you'd live if you were to be more spiritual?

Each week in preparation for your group meeting, you will be completing a Bible study and experimenting with a variety of spiritual practices. It is very important that you complete this work before going to each meeting. That's because what you will discuss is based on what you've learned from the study and what you've observed as a result of your spiritual exercise. These assignments are not the kind where you can procrastinate until an hour before ht meeting and then quickly fill in the blanks. The Bible study and exercises are meant to be thoughtfully and prayerfully completed over the course of several days, not just in one sitting. (we recommend doing the study as part of your regular devotional times with God.)

We believe that your ongoing journey through this material places you on an exciting path of spiritual adventure. Through your individual study time and group discussions, we trust you will enter into a fresh concept of spiritual live that will delight the heard of God... and your heart, too!

Groups

As part of the Pursuing Spiritual Transformation series, Groups invites you to enjoy the rewards-and braces the risks-of community through authentic relationships.

Community is God’s idea. Only in community can we know and be known, love and be loved, celebrate others and be celebrated by them. And only through close, transparent relationships can we be transformed as individuals.

Fully Devoted

As part of the Pursuing Spiritual Transformation series, Fully Devoted gets to the heart of what it means to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ.

What does it mean to do everything "in Jesus’ name"? Is that an ideal attainable only by a few "super Christians"--or is it a way of life we can all experience?
 
Leader’s guide included! Fully Devoted group sessions are: What Is True Spirituality? Grace Growth Groups Gifts Giving "We Know Him Well . . . "

 

 

 

Grace

As part of the Pursuing Spiritual Transformation series, Grace will help you make the connection between grace as a remote biblical concept and grace as a lifestyle--a reality you experience day in, day out.

Many Christians have an easier time being saved by grace than they do living in grace every day. But grace is at the center of the life God calls us to--and reflects the heart of the One who calls.
 
Leader’s guide included! Grace group sessions are: Living in Grace Grace for Regrets Sustaining Grace Delighting in Grace A Legacy of Grace Grace Forever Grace to Share

Growth

As part of the Pursuing Spiritual Transformation series, Growth sets you on a path to live out the character of Jesus in this world as only you can.

What would your life be like if Jesus lived it? Imagine the change you would experience in your thoughts, actions, and relationships. Think of the joy and freedom that could transform every area of your life.
 
Leader’s guide included! Growth group sessions are: Training to Live Like Jesus The Practice of Scripture Meditation The Practice of Solitude Simple Prayer Three Transforming Prayers The Roundabout Way And the Greatest of These Is Love

Gifts

As part of The Pursuing Spiritual Transformation series, Gifts guides you to the answers you desire, through personal study and small group interaction, to develop a hunger to be used by God.

Gifted--that’s you! Uniquely equipped to help build up the body of Christ. As a follower of Jesus, serving others is an integral part of your identity and an important key to your personal growth. But how do you cultivate a servant’s heart and your spiritual gifts in ways that build up your church, your family, your friends, and your world--without wiping you out in the process? Gifts guides you to the answers. 
 
Leader’s guide included! Gifts group sessions are: Use Me! Use My Gifts! Walking into Weakness Comparison: The Killjoy of Servanthood The Ministry of the Mundane Servanthood’s Bell-Shaped Curve Abide in Him

Giving

As part of the Pursuing Spiritual Transformation series, Giving demonstrates how good stewardship is more than a responsibility-it's an adventure.

Jesus said more about money than just about any other topic. Clearly, it is an important issue--and a touchy one! Deep down, we know it is not a matter of what we earn but how we manage what we earn that shows our ultimate priorities.
 
Leader’s guide included! Giving group sessions are: Money: Why Is It So Important to God? The Open Hands of God Tithing: A Training Exercise for the Heart Behind the Scenes of Debt What Is a Biblical Lifestyle? Cultivating a Heart of Compassion The Chance of a Lifetime
