The book of Joshua plays an important role in the overall message and history of the Old Testament. Among other things, it chronicles Israel's entry into Canaan after the Exodus and 40 years of wandering in the wilderness as well as the Israelite conquest of the promised land of Canaan. It begins with the commissioning of Joshua and God's promise to Joshua that he will succeed in taking over the land. We are a Telugu group that meets in Mt. House, Friday evenings at 8pm.

"Follow me" said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). God's design has been for every disciple of Jesus to make disciples until the gospel spread to all peoples. Tragically we have taken Christ's command "TO GO", and mutated it into a comfortable call for Christians "TO COME". Join us EVERY OTHER Sunday at 6pm as we learn how to become fishers of men.

You quit because you "bought into" someone's unsustainable habit at an unreasonable pace. Bestselling author Doug Fields offers an uncomplicated, practical plan that you can carry out. He won't teach you how to "cram God" into your schedule, instead, Doug will show you a practical, doable way of setting God first, and then letting everything else in your life fall into place.

The book of Acts is about Jesus leading his people through the Spirit to go out into the world and invite all nations to live under his reign. It begins with the ascension of Jesus to Heaven. The early chapters, set in Jerusalem, describe the Day of Pentecost (the coming of the Holy Spirit), the expulsion of Christians from Jerusalem and the establishment of the church at Antioch. Our group meets Wednesday mornings at 9 am in the Children's Worship Center.

Some Christians believe strongly in the existence of demons and spiritual warfare. Others downplay or even ignore the idea. With such divergent views, how are Christians supposed to know the truth about demonic forces at work in this world? The Invisible War offers a balanced look at what is going on in the spiritual realm, examines what every believer needs to know about Satan, demons, and spiritual warfare, and what believers can do to defend themselves. This men's group meets every Tuesday at 6:30 here in Tracy.

Ask any group what it means to be a Christian, and we will hear different answers. But what unifies us? What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms? In this six-session series, Francis Chan will lead us in an exploration of key concepts common to all Christians through the centuries. No matter what divides us, we are united by these truths about the God we worship and our relationship with him. Our group meets Tuesday evening from 7-8:15 pm sharp!

Do the words "discipling others" scare you? Does the thought of teaching others how to disciple someone else make you nervous - DON'T BE. Discipleship is nothing more than learning "how" to share what you already know - The Good News of Jesus - and be comfortable doing it, so they can do the same. Our training will answer the what, why, when and how of discipleship. Matthew 28:18-20 says, "And Jesus came and said unto them... Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Sprit. Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Have you ever felt like your habits control you instead of you controlling them? Here's the truth: God is powerful and He wants to help you. This book is about going to God for help with transformation. Paul tells us in Romans 12:2 that we're transformed by the renewing of your mind. In "The Renewing of the Mind Project" you'll choose a project. As you work with God on your project, you'll not only gain victory in areas of your life, you'll also grow closer to God and more dependent on Him. What could be better than that? Join us on Tuesday's at 5:30 via Zoom.

Isaiah's ministry condemned the empty ritualism of his day and the idolatry into which the people had fallen. He foresaw the coming Babylonian captivity, and some of his prophecies were fulfilled in his lifetime. Isaiah's prophecies concerning Christ's first coming have given his words their strongest vindication—and further assurances in the prophecies of Christ's second coming. You will study the historical backdrop to the book of Isaiah and the teachings about the grace of God. Join us Monday's at 9:30 am via Zoom.
