One of the names of Jesus Christ is Prince of Peace. Following Christ's example, we are called to be peacemakers; to cultivate peace within ourselves and share that with the world. How can we do that? The following guides will offer some direction on your journey to peace.

We are called to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This love is a love of action, of giving. These lessons will explore just what it means to live out this self-giving love.

God's nature is to forgive. When we forgive one another, we carry out God's will in the world. These lessons will explore forgiveness effects on relationships, and how what was broken can be repaired through God's grace.

We are called to sing new songs because God is doing a new thing in our lives and in the world. Songs are important part of how we learn, remember, and practice what we believe about God's saving story. These four sessions will how singing can remain vital for Christian disciples (even if you don't think of yourself as a singer).

For Christians, generosity is not a kindness, but an expectation. Jesus' ministry was one of generosity, and he tasks his followers to expand his mission using all the resources, wisdom, and power we've been given. These sessions will explore four specific aspects of generosity.
