During this study we will be exploring the Eight Core Values of the most vibrant and dynamic Christians in the world. Not only will this study form the basis of our <strong>preaching emphases<\/strong> between New Years and Lent, but my goal is that it will also guide the shared life of our <strong>small groups<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n<p>Each session of <em>Christian to the Core<\/em> gives biblical foundation, personal reflection, group discussion questions, and practical application. While this study can be done on your own, it is best experienced in a small group where you can study, share, and pray with others.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/137242946?title=0&#038;byline=0&#038;portrait=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In the attempt to engage as many of our wonderful EMCers as possible, I recommend one of the following options for everyone at our church:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Study Christian to the Core in your Life Group<\/strong>. I will be conducting a Life Group facilitators meeting on Wednesday, December 7th at 6pm in the Fellowship Hall to introduce this study to our existing Life Groups.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Study Christian to the Core in an ad-hoc Life Group<\/strong>. Perhaps you are interested in this study but don\u2019t have an existing group. If that\u2019s the case, I recommend forming one, even if it\u2019s just to spend 8 weeks together working through this wonderful material.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Study Christian to the Core with Pastor Sean on Sunday nights<\/strong>. He will be leading a group through this study on Sunday nights at the church at 6pm for the duration of the series.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you are interested in getting involved, please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/contact-form.php?a=admin&#038;n=EMC\">contact us<\/a> ASAP.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about <em>Christian to the Core<\/em> by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/iliteam.org\/christiantothecore\/\" target=\"_blank\">International Leadership Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/news\/11\/28\/christian-to-the-core-study\/\" class=\"more-link\" title=\"Read More\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-1861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/logo-itunes.jpg","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"},"stitcher":{"key":"stitcher","url":"","label":"Stitcher","class":"stitcher","icon":"stitcher.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/feed\/podcast\/elizabeth-city-emc-podcast","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"xp3NjzllVH\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/news\/11\/28\/christian-to-the-core-study\/\">Christian to the Core<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/news\/11\/28\/christian-to-the-core-study\/embed\/#?secret=xp3NjzllVH\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Christian to the Core&#8221; &#8212; Elizabeth City EMC\" data-secret=\"xp3NjzllVH\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\n\/*!
