Many believe 'do-overs' are only for the golf course, kitchen, or movie screen, but the reality is, we all need a fresh start from time to time. This 6-day study explores instances where God extends His gift of second chances.  But how do we move forward after messing up? By getting to know the God of Second Chances!

The God of Second Chances

In this world, we war against three main enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. The most difficult and personal enemy we face is what the Bible calls our flesh. The flesh cannot be conquered in any other way except by denying the wrong desires that entice us.

This life is marked by a single choice: who or what will we center our lives around?

To center our lives around ourselves or the things of this world leads only to destruction. 

Centering Your Life Around Meeting With God

You can be free from habitual sin! We all want to experience freedom. However, that often seems impossible when we’re trapped in sin or battling shame or addiction.

Idols & Ideologies are anything that we place before God. They may be commonplace and familiar things, yet their grip may run deep in our lives and cultures – distorting our ability to embody and reflect the image of God. We're here to help you tear down the things in your life that have taken the place of God and come back to the heart of pure worship.

Idols & Ideologies
