Empower | Apple Valley Winter 2024

Apple Valley

Tuesday at 6:30 PM

There is nothing more exciting than living a Spirit-filled, empowered life! This eight-week Bible study will instruct, encourage and inspire you to walk in all that Jesus has made available to you through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the gifts that He imparts. These gifts are vital and need to be used in order to be effective witnesses for Him. In this study you will learn about the unseen world, which is called the Spirit realm. Even though we don't see it with our physical eyes, we interact with it on a daily basis. You will also learn in detail about each of the nine gifts of the Spirit how they are used throughout the Old and New Testament by ordinary people. Finally, you will have the opportunity to deepen your relationship with the Lord through the lessons on prayer and intercession. Empower will meet every Tuesday beginning Feb 6 through Tuesday, Apr 9, 6:30 to 8:00pm. Childcare is provided. We will be meeting in Suite 1000. Please note*** It is strongly recommended that you attend the Alpha and Freedom courses before attending Empower.

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Kyle Lanzen & Justin Kendig

Apple Valley

Friday at 7:00 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands. Click here to read more about The Promise Principle and see our weekly reading plan: This group meets Friday mornings from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM at Caribou Coffee in Rosemount (3868 150th Street West, Rosemount, MN 55068)
