Nightly Prayer on Zoom

Woodbury

Monday at 7:00 PM  •  Virtual

Prayer is powerful, indispensable, irreplaceable, and makes all things possible! We have been praying nightly online for almost 3 years. Join us whenever you can as we pray for God's Kingdom to come and His will to be done. We are battling in prayer for darkness to be driven back, for America to be saved, for the Churches to be revived, and for the world to be won for our Lord Jesus Christ ! Personal prayer requests will be honored at the end of the meeting. Nightly Monday-Friday 7PM, Saturday & Sunday 6PM. Zoom Room # is 2262218119. "Now unto Him,... who is able to carry out His purpose and do super abundantly, far over and above all that we ask or think, and infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams- To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen! (Ephesians 3:20-21)

The Promise Principle | Tom Saunders

Monday at 6:00 PM  •  Virtual

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Small Groups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands. Text the word “promise” to 94000 or use the link below to read more about The Promise Principle and see our Bible reading plan: http://leaders.rivervalley.org/promise Come and join our virtual men's Promise Principle group. We'll meet every Monday and all men young or old are welcome. Hope you can make it.

Have you been wanting to go deeper in God's Word? Then join us as we gather weekly with other men from Eagan campus to read & study the Bible together.

The heart of this study is to look at the context of the passage and make observations (What does it say?), Interpretations (What does it mean?), and Applications (How does God want me to apply this in my life?). Whether you're a new believer or have been walking with Jesus most your life, this group will be beneficial for you! You'll be encouraged to study the chapter beforehand and come with questions of your own to discuss. We're meeting virtually Thursday mornings 6:30-7:30am.

Thursday at 6:30 AM  •  Virtual

We are launching an 8-month cohort for people who are registered for the MAP and who sense they may be heading to the field in the next 3 to 5 years. The purpose of this cohort is three-fold: 1) To increase Biblical literacy for these people 2) To create community for the MAPers (for encouragement on the journey and to learn how to manage conflict in small teams) 3) To encourage the formation of discipleship relationships with internationals living here. The cohort will consist of two zoom calls a month: 1. The first Thursday morning of each month will be a training and update session from 6:30 to 8:15AM. During the call, we will provide: -- Training on a key topic each month -- Time to discuss the training in small groups -- An opportunity to share learnings from Biblical assignments -- Encouragement and accountability in developing cross cultural relationships with internationals in the US 2. The third Thursday morning of each month will have a 45 minute session with one of our 500 and then a 30 to 45 minute question and response time. -- This session may be 6:30 to 8:15 AM or 6:30 to 8:15 PM, depending on the location of our 500. Schedules will be issued about one month in advance.
