Grace for Change: Joshua 3
They say that the only constant in life is change. We can either choose to muster up enough strength and stamina to fight the challenges on our own, or we can look to see what God says about change and how we can rely on his faithfulness in an ever-changing culture.
Grandparenting with Grace – Embracing your Spiritual-Impact Role on the Second Generation
Beyond doting on your grandchildren, helping with their care, and showering them with love and affection, have you earnestly considered the spiritual impact role you play in their lives? Deuteronomy 4:9 speaks to the responsibility to extend our faith to two generations. This session will address the vital position you have in influencing your treasured second generation to follow Christ. Whether you are helping raise your grandchildren having daily access to them or find yourself in a challenging situation with limited involvement, we will approach the subject of how to represent Jesus to our families while maintaining a balance of grace and truth. We will explore ways to open the door of spiritual impact opportunities with our grandchildren, leaving it open for years to come.

Principles of Allegoric and Metaphoric Teaching

Join David as he examines the nature of this literature found in the Bible and explains how impactful it can be when presented to younger audiences.
The Most Important Factor in Healthy Parenting
Make no mistake about it, God created us to connect with one another. Sadly, far too many Christian parents, even those in ministry, are failing to build solid relationships with their children. We are often losing our kids to the world, and we need to learn how to turn the tide!
What’s the Point?
Focus on the power of praise in every arena of our Christian life, with our life and our lips. The importance and implementation of a philosophy and life of Praise.
Why Do We Have Game Time, & How Do I Get the Most Out of It?
This workshop is all about game time! Why should we have game time? What kind of games should I play? How much preparation do I need? Game time is a very important part of every children's ministry, and how we approach it can have a major impact on how we influence young people! Note: this workshop is developed with Master Clubs game time in mind, but the ideas will be helpful for anyone working with children and teens.
