Pushing Back Darkness by Fighting Slavery
Matt Sweetman
Helping those who can't help themselves is at the very heart of our Christian faith. A clear thread we see throughout the whole Bible is God’s love for the poor and needy and His desire for His own people to engage in social responsibility. Being surrounded by prosperity and ease, we can be blinded by the real needs of today's world. You may be shocked to learn that there is a thriving black market in human beings. In fact, there are more people in slavery today that at any time in history — over 27 million! What's even more shocking is that it doesn't all happen abroad, but in our own backyards. God’s word directly addresses the issue of human trafficking and how we are to respond as His people. Join this seminar to discover God’s heart for one of the most important social justice issues of our time and how you can make a difference.

Pushing Back Darkness Through Discipleship
Mike Sandusky
Every day we are constantly presented with simple opportunities to advance the gospel through relationships. These simple opportunities can turn into major transformation in our workplace, school or family life over time as we follow Jesus in his model for discipleship. How do we better engage the people we see everyday? How can we see our community grow in size and spiritual maturity through discipleship? How do we break through with people who would seemingly never step foot in a church? What role does the Holy Spirit play in discipleship? Jesus reveals some amazingly simple and practical answers to these questions. Join us as we evaluate how Jesus approached the people in the world around him to advance the gospel through darkness.

Pushing Back Darkness by Going to Unreached People Groups
David W. Hill
Matthew 24:14 states the gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed among ALL nations, then the end will come. Learn how our vision for lives and local churches must involve reaching those among the nations who have never heard of or experienced the life of Jesus. Discover how it enables us to not only fulfill our apostolic mandate to remember the poor, but will also bring about the return of Jesus who will banish all darkness forever.

Pushing Back Darkness in our Relationships [FULL]
Josh Yakos
Pushing back culture's expectations and sway in our relationships, particularly in dating relationships, is difficult if you haven't built a great foundation. Most people spend more time planning their wedding than they do planning their marriage. Also, we may not know how to build for marriage and or we are chronically terrible at choosing who we date. The most important choice you will make is to serve Jesus. The second most important decision you will make in life is who you will marry. Marriage building begins as a single, and whether you acknowledge it or not, you are building for a strong future or for a collapse. Let's push back everything the world has taught us about relationships and allow God to speak to us in this seminar about the how to's...
