Retreat Series: RECIPES FOR LIFE--Four Courses to Know God Better and Deeper
Talk 1: The Appetizer: Invitation to Taste
Psalm 34:8 – “O, taste and see that the Lord is good…” Using story – mine and yours – to taste the goodness of God and cultivate a taste for Jesus as a full-time occupation.
Talk 2: The Bread: Invitation to Rest
Matthew 11:28 – “Come to Me, all you who are heavy-laden and I will give you rest…” The more we come to Him alone, the more we understand how He Himself is our rest.
Talk 3: The Main Dish: Invitation to Abide
John 15: 4 – “Abide in Me, and I in you…he who abides in me bears much fruit…” The three C’s of abiding: conscious awareness, careful consultation, continual enjoyment of Jesus–day in and day–just because He loves us. He created us to know HIm. Our lives are meant to abide in His.
Talk 4: Dessert – Invitation to Serve
Hebrews 13:2 – “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.” God wants to use our hospitality as a vehicle for Him to change lives: our lives and those we invite (don’t you just love that?)
All retreat series include talk outlines, small group discussion questions, bible references, and a quiet time meditation guide.
