Taught by Jim Palmer
Your entire life consists of a series of relationships. Beginning with your parents and extending through friends, coworkers, and people beyond your immediate influence, you shape and are being shaped by your interactions with others. Being a Christian is no different. The gospel connects you with other believers, both locally and worldwide, and shifts the basis of your relationships from something contextual to the timeless truth of Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
Designed to help you understand your connection with others and how navigate the relationships in your life, this course focuses on how the Holy Spirit conforms us to the image of Christ through the gospel which changes how we think about and interact with those around us.

Taught by Pastor Bob Allen
God conforms his children to the image of his Son, Jesus. Sometimes that can feel more like changing your clothes and less like changing your mind, will, and emotions. The apostle Paul writes that to be conformed to the image of Christ is to be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2) and seeking the things that are above (Colossians 3:1-2). But how do you do that?
In this course, we will examine how the gospel of Jesus Christ drives the renewal God desires in our hearts, a renewal that produces activity which flows from and is in line with new affections and character. Specifically, our time together will be spent looking at how we cultivate Christian virtue in our hearts and minds so that it will grow to produce gospel-fueled, kingdom growth in our lives.
