Living Waters: Pursuing Sexual and Relational Wholeness in Christ   What is it? Living Waters is an in-depth healing/teaching/discipleship series. Its goal is to lay a foundation for sexual and relational wholeness. The basic premise of Living Waters is that Jesus is committed to enabling us to love. When we are confused or broken in our sexual identities, we are bound in our capacity to love others according to the will of Christ. We thus need His grace and restoration to heal our sexuality and relationships. Living Waters aims to minister healing.   For Whom? Anyone with identified relational or sexual struggles is eligible for Living Waters. Christ's capacity to touch and restore us at deep levels of brokenness and shame applies to all of us, regardless of the exact type of problem.   What does the program require of you? A desire to deepen your relationship with Christ. A desire to allow Christ to reveal His intentions for your relationships and sexuality. A willingness to face the sinfulness of your present state and the painful realities that led you there. (This involves digging into hurts from your past, specifically related to key people in your life. eg. parents). A willingness to be open and honest with others about your sexual and relational feelings and practices, as well as areas of identity and emotional immaturity. A willingness to receive the healing ministry of the Holy Spirit in these deep areas of your sexuality/relationships. A desire and willingness to walk free from sexual and relational bondage and find loving relationships within the body of Christ.   Doing What? The Living Waters program covers 20 lessons in a time frame of between 25 and 30 weeks. We meet once a week, and each week consists of worship, teaching, healing prayer and small group interaction. There will also be reading assignments from the manual during the week. We also suggest that you read "Pursuing Sexual Wholeness" by Andy Comiskey, Creation House, available at most Christian bookstores. This book gives a good overview of what we will be exploring in Living Waters.   How to apply?
