Though we're taking an overview of the 7 sacraments and what the Bible really says about them, this message is all concerned with how do we take what we know and share it in a comprehensible manner to our Catholic friends & family. We must all be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves in our approach!

Don't be fooled by the subtitle. This message is more about the path that is needed to be an effective soul-winner rather than talking about methods to witness. That's because who we are is far more important than what we do. If we're going to make an impact for Christ, we need to make sure we're going the right way.

*Opening testimony by Kira Syrios* PowerPoint slides available here! This message takes a brief overview of the history of Catholicism with a specific emphasis on its founders as well as its authority. As will be our manner, we then look at what the Bible has to say about both.

The many personalities of the book of Esther speak directly of the various types of people in our sphere of influence that God wants us to reach. How do you evangelize these types of people? This message serves as a precursor to our new evangelism series we begin next week.

The goal of this series is for us to see not only what we believe but WHY we believe it. We also want to have a better understanding of the various beliefs found all around us so that we can better reach our community with the true gospel and see people come to GENUINE salvation. We kick off our fall series looking at what the Bible says constitutes a true local church.

It's during times of transition where the enemy seems to attack the most subtly. With school starting back up, and with two new studies on the way, we need to take some time of introspection to look at this all-important minor prophet. This book packs a punch, and it's what SOLID needs to help us stay focused in this time of transition.

*Opening testimony by Alex Mencini* We close out our study on the crowns by looking at the subject matter of balance and temperance. If you're a spiritual athlete running the race and fighting the good fight, you need to know how to tap into this.

Daniel's entire life was upended at the age of 15 as he was trafficked away from everything he knew. But rather than face all kinds of horrors, he was given the world and everything in it (1 Jn. 2:15-17) on a platter. He could have given himself over to the world had it not been for his purpose-driven heart. What would you do in that situation?
