SUMMARY:RETREAT | Introduction to the Heart
LOCATION:Southpointe Community Church\, 7581 Nolensville Road\, Nolensville
 \, TN 37135
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to the Heart: If following Christ is all grace\, w
 hy does it feel like so much work?\n\nIt can be exhausting to be a followe
 r of Christ. With daily personal worship\, evangelism\, service ministry\,
  Sunday worship\, SP groups\, discipleship groups\, and whatever other per
 sonal church ministries you might be involved in\, is our focus in this li
 fe really where God wants it to be? Is this the life "to the full" Jesus m
 entions in John 10:10?\n\nWe tend to measure spiritual maturity in terms o
 f what we know (theology\, bible history\, etc.) and what we do (quiet tim
 e\, evangelism\, service\, etc.). These are all great things\, but God's "
 first and greatest" commandment is simply to love God (Matthew 22:37-38)\,
  and the fruit of the spirit (our desired spiritual destination) is a list
  of character attributes (Galatians 5:22-23). The truth is\, we have a God
  who is more interested in relationships and our hearts than information o
 r performance. Is how we pursue God - in personal worship\, in discipleshi
 p\, in our relationships\, even in how we see the world - consistent with 
 that truth? Do we even know how to pursue these things?\n\nIntroduction to
  the Heart is a one day mini-retreat focused on raising awareness of the w
 orkings and importance of the heart - the thing God cares about most and t
 he thing that gives us life in this world. We attempt to do that though a 
 combination of scripture study\, teaching\, discussion\, film clips\, and 
 silent\, personal\, spiritual reflection times. This is intended to be a d
 iscovery experience\, not a study of theology or a skills workshop\, altho
 ugh much scripture will be referenced\, and many skills will be discussed.
  Come and learn about the freedom and peace that comes from being the whol
 e-hearted man or woman that God made you to be.\nRegistration has a fee of
  $15 that is used to pay for a printed and a pdf copy of an 80+ page guide
 book for use during and after the retreat\, lunch on site\, and coffee dur
 ing the day (you get all of these whether you pay or not). Scholarships ar
 e available if needed (contact info@spcommunity.org for more information).
  If you register\, we ask that you commit to being present at the retreat 
 for the entire day with only emergency use of your phone.\n\nRegistration 
 closes at midnight on Sunday\, Nov 1st.\n\nHosted by Southpointe Community
