Identity Theft - Daniel Gourley
It happens to all of us... We all have been victims at one time or another. We look around and survey the damage and we begin to ask ourselves: Who did this to me? How could I have been so blind? And finally--What do I do now?

What do we do when we realize that our Identity isn't found in the things we once thought? We must force ourselves to peer into the shadows and see ourselves not as the victim, but the perpetrator. --But that is only the first step... Daniel Gourley will be leading us through this 2-week discussion. July 16th and 23rd @ 11:30AM in room 521. To register, e-mail: Dr Larry

Do Christians have natural enemies? Who are they? What do they do? How are they resisted and defeated?

Maximum Impact Simulcast: The purpose of this seminar is to reach out to business leaders in our community who may not have a relationship with Christ and invite them to an event where they can experience valuable leadership training. What makes this event unique is that the simulcast is held in churches across the country. As these leaders step onto the church campus, maybe for the first time, we can begin to build a relationship with them and a positive “church” experience, which may lead to an opportunity to share Christ. The Simulcast will take place on May 5th, 2006 right here at Pure Heart and will feature speakers such as John Maxwell, Dave Ramsey, Tim Sanders, Patrick Lencioni, Kathy Ireland, Mark Sanborn, J.C. Watts, Peyton and Archie Manning. How can you help? We want to engage the business leaders within our church to join us and help plan and invite their colleagues to this event. If you are interested in helping us plan, promote or sponsor this event please contact: Chris at cerwin@pureheart.org.
