This week we are answering the question: Who do we date? Paul tells the people of Corinth that there are many amazing attributes but one is the greatest of them all, and that’s love. We will talk about what it looks like to be a person who leads with love, and how it is vital when deciding who we should be dating.

We will open our new series by affirming that honest questions about faith are not a weakness, but a normal and healthy part of following Jesus. Through Thomas’s question at the Last Supper in John 14, we see that Jesus welcomes curiosity and responds with clarity, identifying Himself as the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus meets us in our confusion and uncertainty, inviting us to stay close to Him rather than having everything figured out. Ultimately, faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about choosing trust and relationship with Jesus while we ask our questions.
Read MoreWe’re beginning our relationship series! “Outdated” will cover the questions of why, who, and how we date. Tonight, we are addressing the question “why” by talking about the gift of singleness. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul makes it quite clear that the life of a single person can be more fully devoted to the Lord than those who are married. Often, we view singleness as the gift no one wants to be stuck with, but the Bible explains it as a powerful gift of God. We’ll be explaining to students why singleness is a gift and how to use it properly.

We see this story in Acts when the disciples Peter and John perform a miracle and get negative attention from the religious leaders. Peter shows great courage when told to stop healing and preaching, declaring that he cannot stop sharing the Good News of Jesus. They refuse to disobey God’s command to make disciples of all the nations. Each of us has a story about Jesus that needs to be shared with others, so that all people can know of Jesus’ great love.
Read MoreThis week, we focus on reading the Bible in a way that lets it change us. By looking at a hard teaching out of Philippians 2, we will see how the commands of the Bible are always perfectly fulfilled in Christ. We’ll walk through the ways we can allow the Bible move us toward being more like Jesus and how our “work” is really God working through us.

This week's teaching focuses on why and how we pray. We pray to connect with God. God doesn’t care if we use the right words or have the proper format, He just wants us to talk with Him to grow in our relationship with Him.
