Message - "Advent Conspiracy - Three Wise Guys" by Katie
Key Points:
The first Christmas was a SCANDAL that CHANGED the world forever.
The idea of GIVING GIFTS began as an act of WORSHIP to Jesus.
Christmas is a reminder of God's PROMISE to us, and of HIS HOPE for the world.
CHRISTMAS can still change the world, if we change the way we think about GIVING AND GETTING.

Message - "inVERTED - Traitor" by Kurt
Key Points:
The INVERTED LIFE requires a REBELLION to the ordinary.
We need to EXPECT that the world around us will not ACCEPT our allegiance to Jesus.
Jesus doesn't want us to AGREE with Him, He wants us to ACT on what He says.
Rather than WAIT for someone else to act, we must take the INITIATIVE to bring the change God desires.
Because God is MOVING, if we stand still, the distance between us and Him INCREASES.

TWLOHA Tour - October 10th

The TWLOHA Tour will be at Point of Grace on Friday, October 10th from 7-10:30p. Tickets cost $5 in advance or $8 at the door. Between the Trees, Nevertheless, and Dan Evans from NBC's "The Biggest Loser" will be playing, and Renee Yohe will be speaking about her battle with depression, self-image and cutting and how she found healing in Christ from her new book "Purpose for the Pain."
Purpose for the Pain is the inspiring story of a young woman’s battles through addiction, depression and self-mutilation. In heartbreaking detail and poetic outpourings, Renee Yohe (the inspiration behind the non-profit movement, To Write Love On Her Arms) chronicles her journey from self destruction to new life. Over four years of journal entries, she takes readers through her deepest moments of despair to the hope on the other end. Renee’s story is a light of possibility to anyone who feels trapped by darkness.

Key Points:
We grow SPIRITUALLY when we grow in RELATIONSHIPS with people.
We learn how to LOVE OTHERS when we go through CONFLICT together.
Joining a Life Group helps us learn that WE is greater than ME.

Key Points:
There is a GAP between where WE ARE and where we WANT TO BE.
What is GOOD for one of us is good for ALL OF US.
God's plan is for DIFFERENT people to do life TOGETHER.
You grow more by seeing LIFE CHANGE, which can't happen if we FAKE IT.
Getting PLUGGED IN to a Life Group helps bridge the GAP between truth and LIFE.
