New Series: Lost in Translation

We started a new series last night called Lost in Translation. This three week series is about common words that we use to describe our faith, what they mean today and also what they meant to the writers of the Bible thousand of years ago. In doing so, our aim is to let these new definitions teach us more about all God has for us and wants for us.

Here's what Ryan talked about last night...

Session One: Refining the Relationship

Bottom Line: Belief is less about confidence in a set of facts and more about a personal experience with the person of Jesus.

Session One Parent Cue:
What are some personal experiences you have had with Jesus?
Did the experiences change your relationship with Jesus?

Exposed: Week 3

Last night was week 3 of our series, "Exposed". We did this series in hopes that the students would get answers about dating and relationships and what God has to say about the choices that we make when it comes to this issue. Here's a brief glipse of what Ryan talked about last night...

Session 3: Boundaries
The students are at that age where everyone seems to be dating. Setting up boundaries TODAY, will help them know what they want in a relationship and also help lessen regret in the future. Getting in the Word and seeing what direction God has for us can bring clarity to these challenging issues.

Session 3 Parent Cue
What characteristics do you look for in someone you would date?
What boundaries do you want for a dating relationship?

Exposed

We are pumped about our new series called Exposed. We hope to expose what God has to say about dating and relationships over the next few weeks and we know all of you have questions you want answered. Because we have middle and high school services we will make sure we try to answer questions you are asking! Gonna be a great series!
