Sunday Nights

There is no greater adventure than the journey of knowing God more deeply, so in this series, we’ll talk about some of the ways we can do that: by spending time with God, spending time with others, sharing our stories, and using our gifts to serve others.

During the month of November, we'll explore the stories of Abraham, Jeremiah, Jonah, Isaiah, and more, as we see how the big story of Scripture reveals that God is for us, we're called to be for others, God is for our enemies, and Jesus proves that God is for us.

In this 4-week series, we’re going to focus on four things that God has given to every single one of us: You have a past, you have today, you have a future, and you have a family. All four of these things make you valuable and uniquely you.

In this 4-week series, we'll talk about how, when life hurts, or goes wrong, or doesn't make sense, these things are true: Jesus can redeem what's gone wrong, God can be trusted, God gives us each other, and God helps us persevere.

Do you have any friendships you can really count on? The kind of friendships you might call your "lifelines"?

Let’s hang out, eat food, have fun, and watch some football! It’s sure to be a great time, and we’ll see one team walk away as champions! Bring along some friends and a snack to share. We’ll provide the drinks!

"We're meant to be." It's how so many of our favorite movies, songs, and books talk about love - as if the secret to an amazing relationship is a little bit of destiny, a whole bunch of feelings, and a tiny dash of magic. It seems like all we need to find true love is for everything to magically fall into place, and then we're good. Forever.

We love this time of year so much that we don't want it to end. This Sunday night, we'll not be holding our regular youth group gathering. We want to give our families the opportunity to continue the theme of gathering together to share and grow. So, we won't be meeting this week. Please take the added time in your schedule to spend together with the ones you love.

Over the next four weeks, we'll challenge students to move away from the world's "me first" attitude and embrace the "after you" message of Jesus by noticing needs, opening their hands, using their gifts, and sharing their joy.

Do you ever felt like you’re putting on a show? Like the person people think you are doesn’t line up with who you really are? Or maybe you’ve been known to put on different personas for different situations — personas that help you fit in with certain crowds, even if that persona doesn’t reflect who you really want to be. Sound familiar?
