Breakfast Club

On January 15th, we will be beginning a Breakfast Club. We want to invite all high school students out to the Breakfast Club.We will be meeting at 9:30 on Sunday Mornings in the "Snack Shop". The first book that we will be doing will be called The Radical by David Platt. Here is a snipit for you:

In Radical, David Platt invites you to encounter what Jesus actually said about being his disciple, and then obey what you have heard. He challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated a God-centered gospel to fit our human-centered preferences. With passionate storytelling and convicting biblical analysis, Platt calls into question a host of comfortable notions that are common among Christ's followers today. Then he proposes a radical response: live the gospel in ways that are true, filled with promise, and ultimately world changing

So, come on out and RECONNECT. Bob Fasic, Linda Smith, and Kathy Vanosdol will be leading the breakfast and discuss. So, they ask you: "Will you come on out and reconnect, talk about Radical and enjoy some fun and fellowship"

Wednesday Night Life

We want to encourage you to come out to Wednesday Night Life. Dinner is from 6:30-7:00 and then our study is up in the library from 7:00 - 8:00.

Carrie McKneight and Lance Kuhn is teaching the class. Right now, they are going through the book Starving Jesus. Here is a brief explanation of the book:

I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you have me no drink…

It’s time to STOP STARVING JESUS.

In other words…it’s time for Christians to get off their comfortable seats near the back of the sanctuary get out in the world. Authors Craig Gross and JR Mahon challenge fellow Christ-followers to stop talking about being spiritual, and start being spiritual—by rolling up their sleeves and serving a world desperate for the hope Christ offers.

You can make a difference.

Doubt

We finished our series on Doubt. Here is a highlight from the series:

Everyone has moments of doubt. We doubt if we are heading in the right direction when going someplace new. We doubt if that low-fat snack that tastes really good is really as healthy as it claims to be. We doubt if sometimes the people in our lives really care about us, despite the evidence that they do. And sometimes our doubts are about God. Can we really trust Him? Does He have our best in mind? What does that Bible verse really mean?

When questions arise, they can be a little unsettling, especially questions about our faith. But what if God was big enough to handle the questions? He is. What if He was secure enough to handle our uncertainty? He is. And what if doubt actually paved the way to a deeper belief, a stronger relationship with Christ? It can.
