Introducing INTAKE 2 Go

This week we introduce a new and important tool to help you in your spiritual development. It's called INTAKE 2 Go, and you can view and/or print the first edition by clicking here. Our posts on this blog have been a precursor to this resource, which will now be made available each week before a Sunday service at the Springs. The study guide will introduce you to the Core Competency for the week, the Bible text from which Brad or I will be teaching, and will follow a READ-THINK-PRAY-LIVE format. I strongly encourage you to give this a try. Even a few minutes of spiritual preparation before Sunday will make the Sunday experience more meaningful, and it's a great way to begin a habit of personal bible reading, prayer and reflection.



The study guide is one part of a larger picture of spiritual development. Here is how the pieces of our strategy fit together:


  • REFLECTION. INTAKE 2 Go for personal study and 1-on-1 or small group discussion during the week leading up to Sunday

  • INSPIRATION: Sunday services encourage you in your spiritual journey and give you a sense of what God is doing in the larger community of believers

  • APPLICATION: Your Family Table, Kidsplash! follow-up activities with your kids, and Neighborhood Life give you tools, a place and people to help you process what you're learning, ask questions, apply it in relationships, and help someone else in their spiritual journey

All three are equally important and each greatly enhances the effectiveness of the others. Give it a try this week! Just click here or above to download the guide, and begin a new adventure with God.
