THE RACE

At Northside, we call our spiritual development process “THE RACE.” Hebrews 12:1 tells us to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Paul said, “I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Unfortunately, many people start the race strong but never finish, either getting discouraged or hindered by the sins that easily trip us up. Our desire is that each member crosses the finish line a winner!

Running Together (Membership Class)

Dates offered: ■ Saturday, January 11, 8:30 AM – Noon | Grow Room (one session class with Rocky Purvis)■ Sundays, March 1, 8, 15 & 22, 9:15 – 10:30 AM | Room 134 (4-part class with Rich Cochran)■ Saturday, May 16, 8:30 AM – Noon | Grow Room (one session class with Rocky Purvis)Cost: None. Childcare (ages 11 and under) will be provided by reservation only.

If you’ve ever run, you’ve probably discovered that it is more enjoyable and much easier when you are running with someone else. God never intended us to run alone—that’s the purpose of the church. In this class, we will learn about four things that unite us as we “run” together—Our Salvation Story, Our Mission/Vision/Strategy, Our Beliefs and Values, and Our Commitments. Because Northside is made up of people from many different backgrounds, this experience is intended to clearly explain who we are, what we believe, and how to get connected. Completion of this class is required for membership.

COURSES OFFERED

Please register no later than one week prior to class soadequate materials will be available.

It Takes Discipline

Teacher: Steve Allen Dates: Sunday, February 23 (one session class)Time: 2:00 PM – 6:00 PMCost: NoneLocation: Room 253

Running a race requires discipline. Our enthusiasm will help us get started but it won’t take us across the finish line. The same is true in the Christian life. That’s why the Bible says, “Take the time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.” In this class you learn the spiritual disciplines that are critical to your success in “The Race” God has called us all to run. Prerequisite: Running Together.

Pass It On

Prerequisite: Running Together

Finding Your Stride

Teacher: Steve AllenDates: Sunday, May 3 (one session class)Time: 2:00 PM – 6:00 PMCost: NoneLocation: Room 253

DivorceCare

Facilitators: Randy and Barbara McManusDates: Sundays, Beginning February 9 Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PMCost: Workbook – $20.00Location: Room 121

You don’t have to go through it alone. Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they’ve ever faced. It’s a confusing time when you feel isolated and have lots of questions about issues you’ve never faced before. DivorceCare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each session has two distinct elements: Video seminar with experts and a support group with focus.

Intentional Parenting: 10 Ways To Be An Exceptional Parent In A Quick Fix World by Doug & Cathy Fields

Teacher: David FordDates: Sundays, February 9 – March 8 (5 sessions)Time: 5:00 PM – 6:30 PMCost: $15 for workbookLocation: Room 245 (GROW Room)

Raising kids is a difficult challenge and it requires a plan – without a plan, parents often default to what we call “Quick-Fix Parenting.” Surviving each day is much easier than taking the time and energy to consider how your current parenting actions are impacting a child’s future. Unfortunately, quick and easy isn’t the same as good and effective. To be an exceptional parent, you need to be an intentional parent. Fortunately, help is available by veteran parents and best-selling authors, Doug and Cathy Fields – they want to help you move from Quick-Fix Parenting to Intentional Parenting. They’ve put together a workbook that provides you with 10 actions that will impact the future of your children. You can get started implementing these ideas into your parenting and you will see immediate results in your child – no matter their age. It’s NEVER too early to start?

Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food by Lysa TerKeurst

Teachers: Elizabeth Gressette and Stephanie SluderDates: Sundays, January 12 – April 5Time: 5:00 PM – 6:30 PMCost: Book and Participant’s Guide – $16 (Books available for purchase at first class)Location: Room 252

The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isn’t a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with unhealthy eating habits, you can break the “I’ll start again Monday” cycle, and start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn’t a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal – and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose. This is a book and Bible study to help you find the "want to" in making healthy lifestyle choices. Contact Elizabeth at egressette@bellsouth.net / 803-786-1482 or Stephanie at stephaniesluder@gmail.com / 803-808-0105 for more information.

Teacher: Sue Sandidge Dates: Tuesdays, beginning February 18Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMCost: None, study notes will be providedLocation: Grow Room, Room 245

The Acts of the Apostles, the fifth book of the New Testament, is a valuable history of the early Christian church. It begins with the ascension of Christ, continues with the account of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles at Pentecost and the spread of the Gospel to the Gentiles. The missionary journeys of Paul are followed, giving insight into the letters written by Paul. Join us, as we learn how lessons in the early church are still relevant today.

No Other Gods: The Unrivaled Pursuit of Christ by Kelly MinterThe Ties of Love Bible Study Group

Teacher: Elizabeth GressetteDates: 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, beginning January 14 (8 sessions)Time: 4:45 PMCost: Bible Study Book – $14 (Books available for purchase at first class)Location: Choir Room 135

Often, idols are obvious – money, power, fame. But, subtler idols can sometimes take the form of sweet loved ones, Instagramable interiors, and busy seasons of ministry. But if your heart is prioritizing any of those pursuits before God, they are taking up space meant for Him alone. In this 8-session study, learn to identify the functional gods you are serving daily and the lies they tell. Only when you learn to dethrone modern-day idols can you pursue a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus. Please contact Elizabeth Gressette for more information at 803-786-1482, egressette@bellsouth.net.

House of Prayer

When: Wednesdays (Resumes January 9)Time: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PMLocation: Auditorium

Today there is a desperate need for men and women of God who know how to pray: People who will not be satisfied with what they can accomplish in their power. Instead, they long to see the power and the glory of the Living God invade the Church with supernatural displays of His Deity! Jesus said, “My house shall be called a house of prayer.” The phrase house of prayer is from Isaiah 56:7, where it is used twice: “These [foreigners] I will bring to My holy mountain and give them joy in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

The church in Acts was birthed out of a prayer meeting. The great Revivals in America were begun with prayer! It is time for Christ-followers to fall on their knees and pray to the One who can change our country, our community, our church, our families, and our very lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.

It is clear that the place where believers worship will be a place of prayer. It is our desire that Northside will be known as a HOUSE OF PRAYER. Join Pastor Rocky as we gather for a time of prayer and worship. A time where we humble ourselves and ask our Heavenly Father to show us mercy and to anoint our lives and our church with His power! Asking for revival in our world and lifting needs in our church to the Lord. Simply come, no registration is needed.
