FROM CANDACE:
So many of us are hurting right now, going through seasons we didn’t expect and things aren’t lining up with what we expected. We know that God’s promises are “yes and amen”, but sometimes it can be easier to play the part of the victim in our world, than to be on offense. What does “being on offense” even look like as a Christian?
Aaron & I know this inner battle all too well lately, and I know that God wants to teach us so much through our next series—BATTLES.
PARTNERSHIP CHALLENGE
This month, we’ll be focusing on how we should be fighting our BATTLES as believers. Study the passages below, and make up your own mind. :)
This month’s Partnership reading:

WORSHIP THIS MONTH
A great Bible Plan for a brand new believer!
Struggling with how to talk to a friend about baptism? Check out this page!
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right! Get all the info you need to get the job done well! This month, Sticky Church would be a great read, especially if you lead a small group of any kind!
The “Pathway” is all about intentionally making disciples of Jesus Christ! Most people bounce around and take these steps all out of order—that’s okay! The order is just an “ideal situation” for someone who is brand new to faith, brand new to FV, and assimilating into our church from the outside, in. If you’ve brought a friend to church lately, awesome! Now, help them move through these steps, and become a disciple of Jesus, not just a fan of church.

This will get them the Bible Plan for New Believers (above), and start them moving through the rest of the steps as well!
