Keys to Handling Life's Transitions

Have you ever ignored the directions from your GPS? How did that work out for you?
Have you ever sought out God's voice and asked God to take the lead in your life? What did
Think of a time when you chose to follow God. What was that experience like? Is your life better today because you made the decision to follow God?
Moses told the people they didn't need to be afraid because God was going ahead of them. Does it bring you comfort to know that God goes ahead of you? Why or why not?

Have you ever felt out of control? Maybe at work or in a relationship or in your home?
Describe your mental state when you felt out of control. How did you manage your feelings during that time?
What helped you stay grounded during that time?
God promises to be with you. God does not promise to remove all obstacles from your life. What is the difference between those two?
Agree or disagree- Without change we live on autopilot. Why do you agree or disagree with that statement?
God invites you to join him in his work. What does that look like in your life?
Remember a time in your life when God was constant and faithful. Spend time thanking God for being there for you.

The ALPHA Course • New Session begins Thursday, September 6th The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. Alpha is a place where people can come and ask questions, delve into issues and look for answers together in a relaxed, low key, friendly environment. It is a great introduction to the Christian faith for those who want to find out more but can also be stimulating and challenging for those who would like to refresh their faith. There is no pressure or persuasion – just the opportunity for exploration of the Christian faith. All are welcome. Dinner and child care is provided. Call Paul or Katrina Dixon at 805-579-8066 for more information or to sign up.

Bring your picnic, lawn chairs or a blanket to sit on and enjoy the bounce house and the community. Kona Ice will also be available for sale. Elbow up to the giant BBQ pit if you bring something to grill and enjoy the fellowship. Let’s gather on the south lawn and kick off a new fall as we wave goodbye to the Summer vacation season and get back into the swing of school and church.
