Sion 12:25

In all things, invite God in—asking Him to lead, to show you how to read the map He has given you for life. When we wait on Him and accept what He gives, we are renewed as regret falls away and trust takes its place. Start this three-day plan and begin learning how to live out your story, side by side with the One who wrote it into being.

Whether it’s the loss of a job, a child who has gotten into serious trouble, a relationship that’s in peril, or a loved one with a debilitating illness, at some point, something in our lives will strip us of all control. Life comes apart at the seams, and hope begins to evaporate. Bestselling author Frank Viola shows us how to weather the storms of life.

HOW TO USE THE GREATER MEETINGS: These four topics were designed to fit together for a complete message. It’s not recommended to skip any of the topics completely. If you need to cover the contents in fewer than four meeting times, you may decide to focus a bit more on one or two topics while hitting the highlights in the others. The theme for this year is GREATER. We play with a new purpose: He must become Greater, and we must become less.

As a follower of Jesus, we know that surrendering control of each area of our lives is necessary to become like Jesus. But this doesn’t mean that taking up our cross daily and following Him is easy. In this reading plan, we will consider a reliable pattern for how spiritual formation into the image of Christ actually happens.
