Here are the workshops that will be taught from 4-5pm: // TITLE "Saving the world by hanging out: A look at holistic salvation in a postmodern age." by Erik Willits

/ When we follow Jesus around through the scriptures we see him wanting people to experience "eternal life"! The interesting thing was that for Jesus eternal life started the very moment they accepted him and would continue into heaven. "I have come to give you life, the very best kind of life" Jesus says. This eternal quality of life, the best kind of life starts NOW when people experience the salvation of Jesus and begin to follow him.

As followers of Jesus we are on a mission to save the world, which is all about getting people to experience Jesus and his eternal quality of life, his abundant life. Maybe in our day and culture this will happen when we start to intentionally hang out with our friends who don't know Jesus yet. Maybe the days of scripture on dollar bills or little pamphlets are gone and instead relationships will be the vehicle for this message of abundant life to be delivered so that the world will know Jesus and be save for this day and all days.

// TITLE "God wants us all to have great sex" by Jobey Mcginty

/God wants us all to have great sex......thank God for that! The truth is, it was the original point in even creating sex, which is arguably the most powerful experience a human can have. So what is the big deal that is being made over sex? Why do so many people view it as "wrong" or "immoral?" What is the truth about this amazing creation.

Sex is no different than anything else in life that bears a mysterious personality. Like everything else, to get to know it and understand this creation, it is best, and most obvious, to go to the source and ask the questions.

So what does God say about sex? Does He support it? Is He a cosmic killjoy? Does He have a sick sense of humor and likes to see us suffer through abstinence? Does He have "rules," and if so, why? Or does He even care at all how we choose to pursue our sexuality?
