Jesus: Experiencing His Touch

A touch from Jesus can change everything.

Over and over, Jesus responded with compassion, interacting on a personal level with individuals who have been cast aside by society, their circumstances deemed beyond hope. As you delve into their stories in this powerful study-the first in a three-part study of the gospel of Mark-you'll discover for yourself the difference it makes when you engage with Jesus personally and experience His touch in your life.

In this rich study, you will discover that holiness is not an arbitrary standard within today's church or an unreachable goal of sinless perfection. Holiness is about pleasing God--living in such a way that it's clear you belong to Him. Holiness is what makes you unique as a believer in Jesus Christ. Come explore the beauty of holy living and see why true holiness and true happiness always go together.

This study looks at six of the “deadly” sins that threaten spiritual progress: Pride, Anger, Jealousy, Gluttony, Slothfulness, and Greed. You'll learn to identify the subtle ways in which these fatal distractions can invade your life, and you'll be equipped to conquer these destructive temptations so you can mature in your journey with Christ.
