Overcoming Emotions that Destroy
Well-known teacher and speaker Chip Ingram teams up with psychologist and author Dr. Becca Johnson in this encouraging and practical book, showing how many emotions lead to anger, and many emotions follow from it. Their message is clear: as we deal with our anger, we deal with the primary cause for all emotions that destroy.

Ingram and Johnson help readers identify whether they are spewers, leakers, or stuffers. Readers also learn the difference between good and bad anger, how to gain control of their anger, and how to direct it toward constructive ends. The authors cover solid biblical principles as well as the psychological aspects of our emotions, showing readers how they can actually be constructive tools used by God to transform lives and relationships. Counselors, pastors, and individual Christians will find this book a no-nonsense tool for handling destructive emotions in a healthy way..

NEW SUMMER DISCIPLESHIP CLASSES - Begin May 22 

The following Wednesday classes will begin May 22 and conclude on or before July 28. All classes are held from 6 pm to 6:45 pm. 

Philippians: The Pursuit of Joy

This is an in-depth 10-week study of one of the books the Apostle Paul wrote as a prisoner in a Roman jail. Despite his circumstances, Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi overflows with joy. Learn how to stay focused on Jesus and find joy even in the midst of trial and suffering.

Led by Roy McLaughlin, Room 205

 

The Life of Samuel 

Every generation cries out for godly men who will be leaders. The days of Samuel the Prophet were no exception. Samuel led Israel during a difficult time between the last of the Judges and the rise of the Davidic Kingdom. In this 10-week study, you will learn how God was able to use a humble man with no particular talents simply because he was willing to follow God at any cost.

Led by Glen Howe, Chapel

 

Five Love Languages

Marriages may be made in heaven, but they must be nurtured here on earth. Each week’s video will feature Dr. Gary Chapman explaining how people communicate love in different ways. Dr. Chapman will share the wonderful things that happen when men and women learn to speak each other’s “love” language. This 6-week study will include a workbook ($10).

Led by Larry & Valerie Wilburn, Room 105

 

Zapped: Summer Discipleship for Kids

Preschool (4-5K year olds), J-Town 272; Kids (1st - 5th Grade), Kids Worship Room

This summer we’ll take a look at how we can all be zapped by God’s love. When we are zapped it changes the way we think, the way we treat others and the choices we make. We’re going to journey with Peter and see how he was zapped throughout his life.

Church-wide Visitation

Each Monday, from June 3 through July 29, at 6:30 pm, we will meet in the Cornerstone Room of the ROC for prayer and to pick up visitation assignments. Each week different Sunday school divisions will be highlighted and encouraged to attend. We will provide the names and addresses of people who need a visit for a variety of reasons. We are asking each class to come prepared to make ministry and outreach visits using your class rolls and prospect list. 
Call the Discipleship Office at 770.478.6710 to sign up for a class or for more information.
