Every January 1st, hope is high. After a few weeks of holiday cheer (and a few dozen cookies) many of us are ready for a change. With the New Year, it’s a natural time to reevaluate things: our eating habits (detox, detox, detox), our exercising habits (wake up, wake up, wake up), our scheduling habits (slow down, slow down, slow down). However, the stats remind us as few as 8% of people will actually make lasting change. Why not attach our hope for change to something–Someone–who has a proven track record?

Our Winter Term theme is all about change: Transforming Grace (or what the Bible calls “sanctification”). While change is never easy, “what is impossible with men, is possible with God” (Luke 18.27). The battle begins by believing that we can change, so we’ll study the Framework of transforming grace (understanding God’s commitment, provision and plan to change us). The next question is how to change. We’ll study the Means of transforming grace (grasping the daily resources given to us for change). Lastly, as Christians have been studying godly change for a long time, we’ll study the Story of change–mining church history for wisdom.

Why not truly invest in change for 2017 and join us for an experience of Transforming Grace at Winter Term? See Winter Term Details for more information.
