A Return to Christ-Centered Prayer: Why the church, generally, seem so powerless? It is often because prayer in the church has become supplimental, and when prayers are offered, they are typically self-centered and rather shallow. In this presentation we will look at the problem with our prayers and the biblical realities of prayer as we develop a new mindset and attitude regarding prayer in the name of Jesus and by his Spirit. we will learn the primary purpose of prayer as well as explore some practical applications of Christ-centered prayer. This presentation can be offered in one "power session," in three, or seven sessions.
Evangelsim By the Book: Have you ever noticed that Jesus never asked anyone to "accept him"? In fact, Jesus said that no one can come to him unless the Father draws him. What if our methods of evangelism rely more on persuasive arguments and emotional appeals than they do the conviction of the Holy Spirit? How do we get in step with the Spirit to lead people to Christ effectively? This presentation is offered in one, three, or five sessions.
The Economy of the Soul: Based on his book by the same title, Michael Hayward looks at our personal system of give and take - the economy of our soul - to discover why we choose selfishly, how Jesus confronts that broken dynamic, and how he leads us to overcome that dynamic so that we are free to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. This presentation can be condensed into one single session, or can be expanded into as many as five.
Revolutionary Love: If the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength then we need to take time to be sure that we are pursuing God's heart rather than lesser things. In this presentation, Michael Hayward gives a view of the mosaic of our lives and how our love for God can be the source of all we say and do, and the power such a life has to impact the world around us. This presentation can be condensed into one session or expanded into as many as five.
Transformation: The measure of success for the church is not attendance numbers, budget figures, or the number of ministries offered. The measure for success is lives transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Discipleship is a life of transformation and in Transformation Michael Hayward demonstrates that following Jesus is about more than information, behavior modification, association with a thriving church, or even Christian service. This presentation can be condensed into one session or expanded into as many as five.
The Treasure of Heaven: All our wealth will pass away...you can't take it with you. The treasure that Jesus spoke of is not silver, gold, or precious stones, but our relationships. In this presentation, taken from his book by the same title, Michael opens the scripture to explore God's direction for building healthy relationships, as well as restoring broken ones. This presentation can be condensed into one session, or expanded into as many as eight.
