Young Adult Group | Jared & Elizabeth Bridgeman | 9:00 am |
- Where? CCC – The Genesis Room
- Season of Life: Young Adults
- Current Study: “Practice the Way” by John Mark Comer
- We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.
To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.
This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight, as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.
These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.
- We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.

- Season of Life: Intergenerational adults
- Current Study: The Missing Messiah by Idleman & Moore
- What if your Jesus is shaped more by culture than by Scripture?
- There’s no shortage of ways to fill the minutes of our days―from doomscrolling to binge-watching TV to playing video games. But will you find what you are really looking for on a screen? There’s something missing in our lives, and we all feel it.
- In our instant world, Jesus has been ignored, forgotten, and reduced. He’s a life coach dedicated to our success, a therapist for our anxiety, a political ally for our causes, or a genie for our desires. In the process, we overlook the only one who can rescue us from ourselves.
- If Jesus walked into the room right now, would you recognize him?
- In The Missing Messiah Study Guide, bestselling authors Kyle Idleman, author of Not a Fan, and Mark Moore, author of Core 52, team together to help us encounter the real Jesus we can no longer ignore. They encourage us to re-evaluate our assumptions around who Jesus is and reorient ourselves to the divine King who is at work in our world establishing a new kingdom.
- In this six-session companion workbook to the book The Missing Messiah, you will:
- grow in your conviction of who Jesus is and what he’ll do in your life
- cut through the cultural chaos and live the life Jesus promised
- move from a transactional relationship with Jesus to a deep and intimate one
- trace the prophecies around the Messiah through Scripture, uncovering the authentic identity of Christ
- ground your life on the truth that can empower and transform
- The Missing Messiah Study Guide is your breakthrough to fully experience Jesus not merely as savior but as King―penetrating every depth and breadth of your life.

- Have you ever wondered . . . What is Heaven really going to be like?
- What will we look like?
- What will we do every day?
- Won’t Heaven get boring after a while?
- We all have questions about what Heaven will be like, and after twenty-five years of extensive research, Dr. Randy Alcorn has the answers. In the most comprehensive and definitive book on Heaven to date, Randy invites you to picture Heaven the way Scripture describes it: a bright, vibrant, and physical New Earth, free from sin, suffering, and death, and brimming with Christ’s presence, wondrous natural beauty, and the richness of human culture as God intended it. This is a book about real people with real bodies enjoying close relationships with God and each other, eating, drinking, working, playing, traveling, worshiping, and discovering on a New Earth. Earth as God created it. Earth as he intended it to be. The next time you hear someone say, We can’t begin to imagine what Heaven will be like, you’ll be able to tell them, I can.
