SPIRITUAL GROWTH RESOURCES
   » ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Companions in Christ offers small groups a powerfully transforming experience in spiritual formation. All resources in the series explore classic spiritual practices, and invite participants to develop daily patterns that open their lives to a deepening relationship with God and one another.

Owensboro Walk to Emmaus The international Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The program's approach seriously considers the model of Christ's servanthood and encourages Christ's disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a servant of all."  Rev. Michael Marx has served for six years as one of the Community Spiritual Directors in the Owensboro Emmaus Community.  Please feel free to contact him at 1-270-683-3811 for more information about the Walk to Emmaus. 

Chrysalis is the name chosen for the youth and young adult version of The Walk to Emmaus, its parent movement, because it symbolizes the spiritual growth that is essential between adolescence and adulthood. That growth is as crucial for youth as the cocoon is for the caterpillar. It is that precious time of nurturing a person's faith for discipleship. For more information about Chrysalis in Owensboro, contact Rev. Michael Marx at 1-270-683-3811.

Christian Classics Ethereal Library is a collection of Classic Christian books in electronic format, selected for your edification. There is enough good reading material here to last you a lifetime, if you give each work the time it deserves!  All of the books on this server are believed to be in the public domain in the United States unless otherwise specified. Copy them freely for any purpose.

BIBLE STUDY RESOURCES
   » ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The World Wide Study Bible was conceived as a means of organizing all of the Bible-related resources on the World Wide Web according to scripture reference. Because of the nature of the World Wide Web and the large number of potential contributors, it is possible to index an enormous number and wide variety of resources -- Bible translations, commentaries, meditations, sermons, pictures, word studies, musical settings, historical or archeologic notes -- anything that is relevant.

BibleGateway is a free service for reading and researching Scripture online--all in the language or translation of your choice! We provide advanced tools you can use to search the Bible by keywords or verse, as well as other tools to enhance your study of the Bible.

The Text This Week includes Lectionary, Scripture Study and Worship Links and Resources for study and liturgy based on the 3-year Revised Common Lectionary cycle. The purpose of this website is to provide links to resources for study, reflection and liturgy which correspond to the RCL readings you may be using for study, teaching & preaching.

Executable Outlines Here you will find over 1200 sermons and Bible studies by Mark A. Copeland (more info).
