SERIES: GOD IS THE MESSAGE – I AM THE MESSENGER

This series takes an evangelistic outlook on the gospel message. Beyond teaching students the story of creation and the truth that God is Creator, we want to teach them how to talk about creation and the Creator with their friends. Beyond teaching students about the reality of sin, we want to teach them how to respond to the brokenness around them with the hope of the gospel. This series will help students grow in how to practically share the good news of Christ with those who are far from Him.

The Kneel Year is an exploration of what it means to worship God with our all (Luke 10:26-28). Worship is not something that is limited to a service once a week, but instead occurs every day, in all of life. We are unceasing worshipers. Worship never stops, it only changes directions. In order to worship God with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind, we must embrace our identity as image bearers. It is out of that identity that we can begin to live for God’s glory in all of life (Colossians 3:17).
