Are you a planner? How do you respond when your plans are altered unexpectedly?
When traveling, some love to simply hit the road with a suitcase and some spending money, relishing the adventure of discovery. Others research and plan for months, and like to know all the details well in advance. How do you respond when your plans are changed? Today we engage a story of a group of Christ-followers who had their plans disrupted by God, and find out what happened as a result.

If God is all-powerful, why does He need us to pray? If we pray and God is silent, does that mean that God doesn’t care, or isn’t listening? Join us tonight as we discuss how vital our prayers are to God.

February 6    9:00 pm

Please join us as we share about the hope we can have in being an overcomer.

The day was warm and the breeze was gentle. She stood there quietly, holding the ends of several ribbons and watching as the bright balloons drifted back and forth. She thought back, reflecting on other days, other balloons, and then one by one released each balloon to drift slowly out of sight.

The Heart of the Matter-What Matters is the Heart (Room: Women’s)
February 7    10:00 pm

What would an x-ray of your heart reveal? As we take a deeper look at the spiritual condition of our hearts we may find some flaws that have become infected or inflamed over time.

February 1    9:00 pm

Jesus says in John 10:11 that he is the Good Shepherd of the sheep.  David, a shepherd himself for many years, crafted this beautiful Psalm showing us further aspects of God’s care for us.  A shepherd in David’s day would have led his sheep by his voice and his staff (crook), and not as they do today, driving the flocks before them with dogs barking at their heels and a 4WD roaring up behind. Let us look at this well loved Psalm today.

The call to follow Christ is not without challenges or inconvenience.

Let’s look together at the account of a very unusual interruption in the lives of Paul and Silas.

How to Hear God’s Voice
February 5, 2012 9:00 pm

Have you ever wondered how even Samuel got confused with God’s ever-so-distinct voice? How much clearer did he need God to be when He called for Samuel in the middle of the night? Unlike Samuel, we don’t hear God’s voice audibly, and need to discover how we can effectively hear God when He speaks to us. Please joins us for an exciting session on learning more about hearing God’s voice.

There are many competing voices in our culture to answer the question, “What is man?” Where do we find our models of true manhood? How do you define what it means to be a man? Join us for our first of a new series  planned for the men in our chat community. We will meet each Monday at 9 p.m. Eastern the General room, while the ladies meet in the Women’s chat room.

When God Is Silent  (Room: Women’s)

“Is God ignoring my deepest needs?” We have all experienced times of silence, times when we feel God has left us all alone. Yet we know that our loving Father cares for us more deeply than our minds can imagine. Let’s discuss some of these issues tonight in a stimulating chat on prayer. Join us!

Conquering Your Fears (Room: TheLife)
January 31    4:00 pm

Many of us have comforted a child who has been frightened by a nightmare or by something they’ve seen. We gently lead them as they begin talking about what they’re afraid of, and then working through how to handle it. As adults, we too have fears: fear of failure, of judgment, of rejection, of being unable to meet the demands upon us. How do we face these and other fears? Is fear ever a good thing? Is there a way past the fear? Let’s share together how we can face and conquer the fear that may hold us back.

James: Patience and Prayer  (Room: Women’s)
January 31    10:00 pm

The small letter penned by James has been direct. His passion is to see the church become all it can be in Christ.  Each succeeding generation can build on the ones gone before but personal decisions still have to be made as to greed, pride, apathy and dishonesty.  We invite you to the conclusion of our study in the book of James.

Our awesome God is so multi-dimensional that we can never hope to know all the various aspects of his being.  But in Psalms 22, 23 & 24 we get a ‘3D’ image, three distinct but glorious aspects that we need to grasp hold of.  This will help us to begin to appreciate God in all his power and his glory. Join us tonight as we look together at Psalm 22.

January 24    10:00 pm

Lifemarks of a Christian (Room: TheLife)
January 15    9:00 pm

Many of us share “family characteristics” with a sister, a brother, a parent, perhaps even cousins or more distant relatives. What characteristics tend to mark us as being part of God’s family? We invite you to discuss some of the characteristics that show the new life that God offers us through Christ Jesus.

Welcome! We hope that you continue to find these helpful in planning which moderated chats you wish to attend each week and that the chats are an encouragement to you. Come and join us in Women’s Chat and The Life chat. All times are Eastern.

Feeling pressure to be perfect?   We are here to listen.

Oh, New Year Resolutions – Out with the Old, In with the New.  It’s wonderful to have a new year to start fresh.  Join our chat “Staying Focused throughout the New Year” in the Women’s chat room on Monday at 9:00 pm to talk about your resolutions.

Releasing Bitterness (Room: Women’s)
January 10    4:00 pm

We’ve all seen someone working with an animal that we’d not choose to be close to. It may be an act at a circus with some of the “big cats”, or it may be a zookeeper working with a snake, bear or other animal. However fascinating it may be as an onlooker, there are significant dangers. What mother would allow her young child to carelessly play with a wild or aggressive animal? We would call it foolishness. Like playing with an aggressive wild animal, there are significant dangers in harboring and playing with bitterness. Join us as we discuss bitterness and forgiveness in our moderated chat.

James: A Faith Walk (Room: Women’s)
January 10    10:00 pm

Discrimination! Such an ugly word but it rears its head today just as it did in James’ day.  How do we judge people today? Do we still tend to see the wealthy and those with a good education as better than those with neither? Does God discriminate when he looks at us? Let us look into James 2 today to see what he has to say about it.
