“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23, ESV)

This August through October, Project:Fracture is examining the fruits of the Christian life with our study The Fruit of the Spirit: Cultivating Christian Character, by Stuart Briscoe. This 10-week study takes a look at how we as Christians can live out our faith on a daily basis by bearing the fruits of our salvation, and then discovering the benefits that those fruits will have in us as we grow in the Spirit.

You can order your copy of the discussion guide at Project:Fracture for $6 on a Thursday night (just talk with one of your friendly neighborhood P:F leaders). Get ready to get gardening! (Well, Spiritually speaking…)

Does your prayer life feel a little stale? Neglected? Hurried? In our early Summer 2011 study, we’re delving into how we can change all that and make prayer a life-changing staple of our days. Guided by the study Praying with Power: The Lord’s Prayer, by John Ortberg, Kevin G. Harney, and Sherry Harney, we’re breaking down the most infamous prayer of them all, and why Christ used The Lord’s Prayer as the example to show all of His followers how to pray.

You can order your copy of the discussion guide at Project:Fracture for $6 on a Thursday night (just talk with one of your friendly neighborhood P:F leaders)… and get ready to learn the power of prayer.

Our next study, which kicks off next week, will be on the book of Genesis. We’ll be using John Walton & Janet Nygren’s study guide, Genesis: The Covenant Comes to Life. This 12-session series will run from February 3 through mid-April.

You can order your copy of the discussion guide for $7 at P:F on Thursday, or pick up your copy at Amazon or Christianbook.com.

Our next study, which kicks off on November 11, will be Tim Keller’s new DVD series The Reason for God. This 6-session series is based on his best-selling book of the same name.

The full text of Keller’s book is available for free online through Google Books if you’d like to get a deeper look into the topics covered by the study.

Order your copy of the discussion guide for $10 by November 5, so you can be sure to receive it in time for our kick-off party on November 11.

Beginning on September 2, we’re studying the book of Galatians, using Galatians: Living in Freedom and Love by Karen Lee-Thorp and Scot McKnight as our guide.

Our next study, which begins on February 25, will focus on the book of Romans. We’re still hammering out the details of what resources we’ll be using other than the B-I-B-L-E (yes, that’s the book for me), so we’ll keep you posted as that story unfolds.

While you’re here, check out our updated list of upcoming events!
We’ve posted the schedule for most of the rest of 2010 (including Vintage Movie Night, our spring camping trip, and some summer parties), so mark your calendars with all the important dates (and start weeping openly if you already have scheduling conflicts).

Five Things Every Christian Needs to Grow
by R C Sproul

“People need to maintain a diet of nutritious foods if their bodies are to grow and thrive.But what do the people of God need in order to grow and thrive in the Christian faith? In this book, noted theologian and pastor R.C. Sproul identifies five of the crucial “nutrients” that promote spiritual growth: Bible study, prayer, worship, service, and stewardship. With biblical insight and practical wisdom, Dr. Sproul teaches Christians how to maintain a balanced “diet” that will lead to growth and mature Christian living.”

New study starts July 16 with our Kickoff Party at Duff Park in Murrysville.
