Taped at the 2007 “Deeper Still”
event, three women explored their
lives and the life of David.
“Anointed, Transformed,
Redeemed: A Study of David”
contains the audio and video
portions of the “Deeper Still”
conference featuring Beth Moore,
Priscilla Shirer, and Kay Arthur. You’ll
laugh with them, cry with them,
and learn to love God with them.
These authors' messages are
divided into three segments, two
lessons each. Each segment
focuses on the life of David at a
different stage of his life: as a
young man (by Priscilla Shirer), as a
middle-aged man (by Beth
Moore), and as a man facing the
final third of his life (by Kay Arthur).

Do you want to know God and really
believe Him? Do you want to find
satisfaction in God, experience His
peace, and enjoy His presence? Do
you want to make the freedom Christ
promised a reality in your daily life? In
Breaking Free, Beth Moore embarks on
a study of selected passages from the
Book of Isaiah, drawing several parallels
between the captive Israelites and
today's Christians, in order to show
how to make freedom in Christ a daily
reality. Moore teaches readers to
remove obstacles that hinder freedom
by identifying spiritual strongholds in
their lives and overcoming them
through the truth of God's Word-truth
that will set us free.

Purpose Driven Life
Target Group: Co-Ed
Dates: Jan. 13 - May 19
Leader: Todd Hill
Contact #: 332-1652
E-Mail: [email protected]
Format: Discussion
Cost: $15
When: Wed. at 6:15 pm - 7:30 pm
Room: 217
The spiritual premise in The Purpose-
Driven Life is that there are no
accidents---God planned everything
and everyone. Therefore, every human
has a divine purpose, according to
God's master plan. Like a twist on John F.
Kennedy's famous inaugural address, this
book could be summed up like this: "So
my fellow Christians, ask not what God
can do for your life plan, ask what your
life can do for God's plan." Join Todd as
you take 40 days to explore Purpose
Driven Living.

The Reason for God (Tim Keller)
Target Group: Co-Ed
Dates: Jan. 13 - March 10
Leader: Scott Weeks
E-Mail: [email protected]
Format: Discussion
Cost: $15
When: Wed. at 6:15 pm - 7:30 pm
Room: A-172 (Annex I)
Keller mines material from literary
classics, philosophy, anthropology and
a multitude of other disciplines to make
an intellectually compelling case for
God. Written for skeptics and the
believers who love them, the book
draws on the author's encounters as
founding pastor of New York's booming
Redeemer Presbyterian Church. One of
Keller's most provocative arguments is
that all doubts are really a set of
alternate beliefs. The first, shorter part of
the book looks at popular arguments
against God's existence, while the
second builds on general arguments for
God to culminate in a sharp focus on
the redemptive work of God in Christ.
Keller's condensed summaries of
arguments for and against theism make
the scope of the book overwhelming at
times. Nonetheless, it should serve both
as testimony to the author's
encyclopedic learning and as a
compelling overview of the current
debate on faith for those who doubt
and for those who want to re-evaluate
what they believe, and why.

Award-winning author and Bible

rabbit trails, or to miss priceless
opportunities. In fact, these may be the
best days to proclaim Christ since the
first century. This study will help you listen

you by giving you a deeper
understanding of the Holy Spirit. Based
on the life of Samuel, who first heard
God’s voice while still a small boy, and
packed with practical examples from
Priscilla’s own life. He Speaks to Me
speaks directly to the need to develop

None of us are elite finishers, but all of us
are working with whatever God has
given us. We encourage one another
to finish the race set before us, whether
at a scheduled event or on a fun run at
home.
We train alone and together, and keep
in touch by email. We plan 'long runs'
on the weekends together, when time
allows. We encourage walkers as well
as runners to join.
We register for an average of one race
per month, throughout the year. We
aim to find races with "causes" we can
stand behind.
I plan to begin weekly Saturday Morning
Runs/Walks at the Long Hunter State
Park, Couchville Lake Path this week, at
7:30 am. We will include a short
devotional time by the pier before we

foundation so they can grow into

Our Mission:
Today’s culture is force feeding a
message that is being easily
digested by teenagers and
preteens: Truth is relative. Students
today are ill equipped to look at the
messages bombarding them from
the media through the lens of a
Christian worldview. The result?
A belief that conflicting ideas can
be equally true. As Christians, we
know that to be false.
The student ministry at Gladeville
Baptist Church works diligently
against the “Truth is relative”
mantra. Our programs are
designed to equip students to sift
through the changing messages
of today’s pop culture. We
believe firmly that Truth is not
relative and that investing in
students will inspire them to
influence positive change in their
culture rather than conforming to
it.

Sunday Morning Groups
9:15 am Bible Studies
Where: The Premier Room
We dig into God’s Word and apply it
directly to ever-changing teen culture.
Students and caring adults discuss
parent relationships, peer pressure,
friends,values, and boundaries all within
the context of God’s perfect plan for
their lives.
We begin in The Premier Room and
break out into smaller Bible Studies
based on grade and gender.
Life Groups
These are small that groups are gender
specific and meet in 6-8 week intervals
4-6 times a year, typically on Sunday
nights. We find that the absence of the
opposite sex alleviates pressure and
discussion barriers for guys and girls
alike. We help them develop a deeper
relationship with Christ and each other.
Middle School Ministry
Wednesday Nights
6:15 pm - 7:15 pm Worship
Where: The Premier
This is a worship opportunity for
students, and usually where they walk
through our door for the first time. We
have a place for students to hang out
with their friends over a coke or coffee,
and there’s no pressure for them to do
anything when they walk through the
door. We play games, worship through
music and other arts, and students
hear a relevant message of Truth. The
bounce-off-the-wall outgoing, the shy,
quiet, and the more reserved teen, will
all find a comfortable fit at either of
these services.
7:15 pm - 7:45 pm Small Groups
Where: The Premier Room
These groups are gender & age
specific and meet weekly. The topics
will be based on the Worship service
and help them develop a deeper
relationship with Christ.
Missions
Middle School students are
encouraged to serve by participating
in local missions and mission trips.
Students who volunteer locally usually
perform some type of service for the
community or an individual. At least
two are planned each year.
