On the Verge :: In Depth
the Heartbeat of On the Verge
Is it an indefinable place where the present and future collide?
OR…
Is it the point just before the point of no return?

Is it the moment you realize that what you do next matters most?

OR…
Is it the culmination of collected experiences that caution you to avoid pain at all cost?

Did you choose it?
OR…
Did it choose you?


Regardless of where it is, what it looks like, or when it happens, we have all been there. In fact, some of us are there right now — on the verge. So let us stand on our tiptoes and boldly speak into the chasm of what is and what could be.

How can I use On the Verge?
On the Verge is perfect for:
  • special weekend events like retreats and Disciple Nows
  • summer camps and similar week-long events
  • large-group settings like Wednesday night meetings or all-age Sunday School gatherings
  • smaller settings like individual Sunday School classes, general education classes, and in-home small groups
  • groups that utilize both large- and small-group gatherings in the same time window

  • Teaching Components

    The Workbook is designed to give students in these small groups a deeper experience with On the Verge. It includes listening guides that help students engage in group sessions as well as devotions that allow students to further learn, pray, and change on their own.

    The Gathering Tool is designed to provide an opening illustration for groups that meet together in a large group before dividing into small groups or Sunday School classes. This will allow small groups to experience the series video and will add to the overall experience of going through the series.
