Friendship
We all crave deep connections but have lost the art of finding and cultivating true and lasting friendships. By rediscovering that art, we can restore the profound joy and connections that authentic friendships bring to our lives.
Technology
In an ever-changing world driven by technological advancement, how can we build healthy habits that ensure we are being formed by Jesus, not our devices?
XA Essentials
The Task of Spiritual Formation
Whether we are aware of it or not, we are being formed. As Christians, it is important that we think about the task of spiritual formation and ask in what ways do I need to be formed into the image of Jesus?
Community
Explore what it means to live as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Engaging Culture
As Christians, we are called to be in the world, but not of the world. This resource helps us to manage that tension, engage well with the culture we live in, and grow in our awareness of the ways in which it tries to form us.
Expulsive Power
The best way to defeat our sin is not strength of will, but greater desire for Jesus.
Generosity
Increasing the value of our standard of giving grows and stewards a generous heart.
Hospitality
How can we follow the example of Jesus and practice hospitality in our day-to-day lives?
Kingdom Diversity
Considering how each one of us bears the image of God.
Lordship: Sin
This resource will challenge us to truly recognize and handle our sin, rather than to underestimate its impact or ignore it by claiming grace.
