The Countdown to Christmas is ON and we are excited to focus our hearts on the arrival of Jesus during this season. This series will focus on the image of light that is not only captured in the prophecies and stories of the birth of Jesus, but is also a key theme throughout Scripture. This week there is a student teaching at each campus about how the light of Jesus outshines the darkness that we find ourselves navigating in our lives. The students have worked thoughtfully and prayerfully to bring this important message to their Lifeline peers!

  • Other nations

  • Our city and neighborhoods

  • Praying through Scripture

  • The sin in our lives

  • That we would represent God in our lives moving forward

Students will be exposed to the variety of ways they can pray and will be directed to the Psalms as a great resource to put to words the things they may be feeling and experiencing! We are looking forward to learning and experiencing prayer through the psalms!

Tonight we will be taking a look at the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead! We will unpack the story with a bit of context, in hopes to see the beauty of it! Jesus gives Lazarus life! We will then spend some time looking at how Jesus can give life to us as well. We will dig into the wages of sin, and see how we all are dead to sin! But, Jesus gives life! So we will answer the question: how do I receive that life? - You believe!

It is the final week of our “Not Normal” teaching series! As we conclude this series about relationships, sexuality, and going against the norms of the greater culture around us, we are going to focus on the extravagant grace of Jesus. When the religious leaders bring a woman caught in adultery to Jesus, he shows her his perfect grace and love in a moment when she felt shame and brokenness. Students will be reminded that Jesus has given us the gift of his love, which unlike the often conditional love experienced from others. This week is an invite night and students are encouraged to bring a new friend to experience Lifeline!

This week we will be taking a look at the story of Jesus cleansing the Leper of his spots. We will take time unpacking the story, to see the true loving and welcoming nature that Jesus offers. We will then look into our own lives to see what spots we might have. Things like not feeling good enough for Jesus, not feeling like me know enough, or maybe that we just aren't fully committed to our faith. These spots tell us to keep Jesus at arm’s length. But we see how Jesus treats the leper and we gain clarity for how He will treat us. Jesus cares more about you than your spots!

This is week one of our series Blind, Sick, and Dead. Tonight, we will be looking at the story where Jesus restores Bartimaeus’ sight. We will be using the story to learn more about Jesus and also answer the question ‘How do I follow Jesus in my day to day life’. We will be looking at our spiritual blindness, as it seems to get in the way of us following Jesus in our day to day. Just as Jesus restored Bartimaeus’ blindness, Jesus can also restore our spiritual blindness! Ending with a list of ways students can follow Jesus in their day to day life. (spiritual practice to close)
