"Mourning with Hope" - 01.15.20

Middle & High School Message
In the summer of 2018 we met a girl from New York who had recently been diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive form of cancer.  We have been praying for her and her family ever since.  Their story has impacted all our lives - especially how they have persevered and continued to trust God in the middle of the suffering.  The Sunday before this recording she lost her battle with cancer.  This was our time to break the news to the group and process our loss.

"Love One Another" Part 4 (MS) - 10.09.19

Middle School Message
Continuing to discuss what it means to love one another, we dug a little deeper into the "HOW".  Specifically, we began to evaluate how to love each other in the context of friend groups - being inside and outside of them.  The importance of loving one another in the Kingdom of God cannot be overstated but is frequently underplayed or neglected.  We really need to grow in this as individuals, as a group and as the church universal.

"Abnormal: epilogue" - 08.28.19

Middle & High School Message
As a final piece of the Abnormal series we discuss eternity - where we belong.  We had a brief time reading through Revelation 21 and into 22.  Then we broke up to read through and discuss Hebrews 11.  By request, I am attaching the artistic imagery of the new Jerusalem I showed during the lesson.

Also, if you're curious about the discussion of Hebrews 11,

I'm including a PDF of the leaders' sheet.  :)
