 The Journey 
At First Baptist Church of La Grange, we believe Christian growth does not happen by accident.  It happens on purpose! That is why we have created The Journey.  The Journey is an intentional discipleship process.  Those on The Journey will find themselves moving to deeper levels of intimacy with Christ.  They will also learn skills to help them grow in Christ every day.  For more information, please contact Pastor Jonathan Smith at jonathan@fbclagrange.net
Journey Worship
 

Journey Worship
(an entry point course)
Sundays, February 12--March 4, 2012 at 6pm
(4 week course)

Worship.  We do it every Sunday.  But, do we do it every day? In this course, you will learn that worship is a verb.  Worship is something we do, not something we attend or watch. 
Everyone is worshipping something! Many people are worshipping many things at once.  Learn how to not "waste your Christian worship."  Want to draw closer to Christ everyday? Then Journey Worship is for you.

The Good and Beautiful God

(for those who have completed Journey Worship, Experiencing God, and Spiritual Strength Training)

January 22--April 1, 2012 at 6pm
(a 9 week course)

The Good and Beautiful God is book one in a three part series about spiritual formation.  Many people try to change their behavior to become more like Christ.  We certainly should be trying.  However, spiritual change does not come by "our trying", rather by time honored spiritual practices that position us for GOD to bring change.  In The Good and Beautiful God, you will learn to fall in love with the God Jesus knows.  You will also practice a spiritual discipline each week.  It will change your thinking and your life forever!

What others are saying: I loved the study!  It was a stirring and provocative exercise in deep, self evaluation.  An amazing journey from "old" narratives to new narratives.

God is pursuing a love relationship with you. Yes, the God of the universe deeply desires an intimate friendship with you. Why? Because His love is that great.

The Good and Beautiful Life
Sunday January 22--April 29, at 6pm
A 12 Week Book Study
(For those who have completed The Good and Beautiful God)
 
"I have never met a person whose goal was to ruin his or her life. We all want to be happy, and we want it all of the time." So begins James Bryan Smith in The Good and Beautiful Life. The problem is, he tells us, we have bought into false notions of happiness and success. These self-centered decisions lead us further into the vices that cause ruin: anger, lust, lying, worry and judging. Eventually we find ourselves living a beautifully packaged life of self-destruction. Following the Sermon on the Mount, this follow-up to The Good and Beautiful God guides us to look behind these character flaws and to replace our false beliefs with Jesus' narratives about life in the kingdom of God.
