JESUS

AWAKENING SERIES Begins March 7, 2010

Jesus is the most famous person in all of human history.  More songs have been sung to him, artwork created of him, and books written about him than anyone who has ever lived.  Yet we still have questions about him.  Who is the real Jesus?  Whether you've been a christian all your life or aren't one at all, this series will answer questions about who Jesus is, what's his purpose, and why we should follow him.

AWAKENING SERIES January 17-February 28

"To just read the Bible, attend church, and avoid "big" sins--is this passionate, wholehearted love for God?"  - Francois Fenelon.

A lot of people live this way and label themselves Christian.  But is this Christian?  Are there different levels of Christian?  This series will explain that Christianity is not a part of your life, but it is your life.  There's no such thing as a fully-devoted follower of Christ, you are either a follower or not.  There's no middle ground.  Would you describe yourself as totally devoted to Jesus Christ?  Or do the words lukewarm, halfhearted, and partially committed fit better?

Most people think the average teenager isn't capable of much beyond hanging with their friends and wasting time...but you're not the average teenager!  Just look around the world and you'll find that there are plenty of things wrong with our planet--homlessness, hunger, global warming, AIDS...the list goes on and on.  We usually look at these problems and decide they're too big for us to do anything about.  This series will prove that you can make a difference!
