Women’s Large Group Study
Thursdays Sept. 13–Nov. 15
9-11 a.m.

Esther: It’s Tough Being a Woman by Beth Moore provides an in-depth Bible study of Esther—a profile in courage. Join Beth in a very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance as she peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to our lives today.
If you’ve ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the Bible study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther’s day, it’s tough today. This portion of God’s Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives.

7-8:30 a.m. Saturdays Sept. 22–Nov. 17

Moral relativism and shifting culture has made men feel unstable and unsure of who they are and what they believe. What if you could walk with confidence even while those around you were not sure? What would it take to live like that? You would need to be vigilant, prepared for both threats and opportunities. You would want a solid understanding of your beliefs. You need to have courage to stand up to the challenge, and strength that comes from training and preparation. Most of all, you would need to be confident in your identity. When you know Christ loves you, it makes it possible for you to love others. This is what it means to be a rock solid man. Cost is $20.

Rock Solid Men Kickoff Event

Missional Mentoring - Libertyville (Men)

Men’s Missional Mentoring
Groups Launching Fall 2018
Libertyville Campus
Do you have a strong desire to be a follower of Jesus Christ AND be a great husband, father, church member, son, civic leader, disciple-maker and friend …ALL at the same time? Missional Mentoring can help you do just that. This fall, we will be launching six mentoring groups – and we want you to be part of one!
It is our goal to impact the lives of men who are early in their Christian walk of faith in a way that points them toward an integrated Christian life. Volunteer mentors – elders and leaders from our campus – will endeavor to share what they have learned about success, most often focusing on what they have screwed up on so you can hopefully avoid the mistakes they made along the way. We will spend significant time on understanding who we are in God’s eyes, how to better relate to our wives, and how to best raise children. We’ll spend even more time on getting to know what it means to have a vibrant, living relationship with Jesus Christ.
Since there are a limited number of mentee spots available, here are the qualities of the type of men we are looking for:
  1. Potential leaders, men who have the potential to be influencers but aren’t quite there yet.
  2. Objective men who are willing to take direct, pervasive feedback without being defensive.
  3. Malleable men who will look honestly at themselves in the mirror and make changes to improve.
  4. Humble men who see their own brokenness and express a hunger for personal growth.
  5. Committed Jesus-followers, men who have a relationship with Jesus, or at least think they do. We’re not looking for seekers or non-believers.
  6. Willing to pay it forward, men who will commit to leveraging their life experience to influence other men.
If you’ve already attended one of our Vision Meetings and/or have talked with Bob Casey and you’re ready to take the next step towards being mentored, please fill out THIS APPLICATION. There are a limited number of mentee spots available. So, apply today!
If you have questions, please contact Bob Casey at bobc@caseyreps.com.

Key themes of humility, submission, and identity in Christ guide the study of 1 Peter. Participants are challenged to read the book in its entirety each week.
This 9-week study will allow you to dig deep into Scripture with a verse-by-verse approach to studying an entire book of the Bible.

Small Groups

Joining a small group at The Chapel is a great way to connect with people as you join together and pursue God in Bible study, prayer and community. The Chapel can feel like a pretty big church. Even at our smaller campuses, getting to know people will take more than just going to church on the weekend. Small groups will grow your faith and develop strong friendships as you study, encourage and do life together.
