The Organic God
Help your congregation discover God in a new, fresh way! In this transformational program, Margaret Feinberg points the way to a "a real relationship with Him – a relationship that isn't altered by perfumes, additives, chemicals, or artificial flavors that promise to make it sweeter, sourer, or tastier than it really is."

The Sanctifying Work of Grace
Session 3 of 4
Professor Steve Brown continues his teaching on the revolutionary nature of grace! There are those who say that the idea of radical grace is simply permission to sin. On the contrary, help your congregation discover the only path to sanctification that works: the path of grace. As the Apostle Paul said, "We are constrained by the love of Christ."

Walking by Faith
CCN Programming for Women

Unable to depend on her own physical eyesight, she has learned to depend on the light of God's presence, promises and power to lead her and sustain her. Invite the women of your congregation to a special CCN seminar that will inspire them and equip them to live by faith rather than by sight or circumstance.

When the Game is Over, it All Goes Back in the Box
Using popular games as a metaphor for our temporal lives, this program, neatly sorts out what's fleeting and what's permanent in God's kingdom. Being Master of the Board is not the point; being rich toward God is. Winning the game of life on Earth is a temporary victory; loving God and other people with all our hearts is an eternal one. Using humor, terrific stories and a focus on 'the right trophies', Pastor Ortberg paints a vivid picture of the priorities that all Christians will want to embrace.
