AWARE & AVAILABLE

Aware and Available

Experience his Life as he expresses his Life through you.

You were made for something eternal — eternal work, eternal purpose, eternal impact. God, in the curious mystery of his gospel, has engineered history so that we don’t have to wait until the afterlife to engage in this eternal reality! Because the Holy Spirit dwells inside everyone who believes in Jesus as their Savior, God is at work not only in us but also through us. As we learn the life of dependence on Jesus, it will naturally result in his Life flowing through us. As we bear fruit from this abiding life, we will engage in the eternal work of God in the world.

Foundational Videos

This study builds on a previous study, "Christ in You: Alive & Free" that we went through together as a church in 2018. The below videos are a refresher of the theology behind how we were created to mirror the 3-in-1 Trinity ("Spirit, Soul, Body"), and the story our life may take under grace ("Grace Arc").

Christ Through You Bible Study

Our focus in this study is how you were made to express the divine Life of Christ. After having studied about Christ’s Life in you in our previous study, "Christ in You: Alive & Free", we now turn to the outward work of God in our lives as he bears fruit through us to the glory of the Father.

This study can be done on your own, but it is designed to be used in a one-on-one context or in groups of three to four people. We encourage you to be intentional about your time with this study and begin to see the beautiful effects of a life fully aware and available to him.
