The Stories We Tell
There is nothing quite like a good story. Good stories can connect us and transcend time. Perhaps the greatest storyteller of all time was Jesus, who understood the power of telling stories to captivate his listeners and capture their hearts. What happens when the stories that Jesus told collide with our unique stories?

Origins
At some point in our lives, we have to wonder: Why are we here? How did all of this come to be? What are the origins of our universe, our story, and our purpose? In the first eleven chapters of the Bible, in the book of Genesis, we see a cosmic story unfolding—an epic narrative—of God shaping a good and meaningful world, what went wrong, and how God is redeeming the mess, restoring us to something good.

Even the Demons
We live in a profoundly spiritual world. This spiritual reality undergirds all that we do and think and feel. It influences how we act. It is invisible, yet more real than we know. In the midst of this are forces whose agenda is to steal kill and destroy. Demons. They will lie to you about God, your self, your value and your relationships. But into this spiritual darkness, the light of Jesus has crashed in. He replaces lies with his truth and destruction with power. He has given believers authority over the darkness that too often goes unclaimed. Discover the Biblical secrets of living a life of victory over the darkness in this powerful six weeks.

Spiritual Rhythms
In the gospels, Jesus calls his disciples to a life of full surrender, deep commitment, and complete reliance on the Holy Spirit. He reminds us to deny ourselves and “take up [our] cross daily” (Luke 9:23). He encourages us that we will be able to “do even greater things” than we see in Jesus’ life on earth (John 14:12). And Jesus acknowledges that this sort of life is only possible when we “abide” in (remain attached to) Jesus (John 15:1-8).

In the 50s, A.W. Tozer (a well-known Alliance minister) wrote about spiritual rhythms for a deeper life in one of our denominational publications. He describes this deeper life as far more than just victory over sin, but of separation from the world and communion with God. A life in and through the Spirit, beyond what we might have imagined.
We invite you to join us for this journey into key rhythms that will help you encounter God and become more like Jesus. Each of these guides include biblical teaching, prayer prompts, and specific practices to help you implement spiritual rhythms to lead you into an experience of the deeper life.
