This Week’s Youth Focus – 2/14

Tonight at youth, we will continue to examine the providence of God (chapter 16 Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology). I’m especially looking forward to tonight’s discussion as we will be looking at scripture discussing the issues of God’s decrees, man’s responsibility, and the presence of evil.

See you tonight!


This Week’s Youth Focus – 1/31

Tonight at youth, we will be examining the various aspects of God’s providence. Grudem defines and scripture supports that God’s providence means that God is “continually involved with all created things in such a way that he (1) keeps them existing and maintaining the properties with which he created them; (2) cooperates with created things in every action, directing their distinctive properties to cause them to act as they do; and (3) directs them to fulfill his purposes.” [1]

I’m looking forward to examining scripture and discussing this very important and relevant topic with the youth of Emmaus!

See you tonight….. Lord willing!

This Weeks Youth Focus 1/24

Tonight at youth we will continue our examination of the theology of creation. Over the last two weeks, we have looked at portion of Wayne Grudem’s chapter on this subject and have watch the first half of “Unlocking the Mystery of Life.” Tonight we will be watching and discussing the second half of “Unlocking the Mystery of Life.”

Hope to see you there!

 


This Weeks Youth Focus – 1/17

At youth this week, we will continue to examine creation.  Our study focus will follow the outline found in Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology book chapter 15. We will discuss various truths such as God created everything out of nothing, that mankind was a direct creation of God, God created both the physical and spiritual universe, and that creation is distinct from God but always dependent.

I’m looking forward to another great night of study. See you there!


This Weeks Youth Focus – 1/10

This Thursday (tonight), we will be examining creation. Wayne Grudem, in chapter 15 in his systematic theology book, poses the question: why, how, and when did God create the universe? We will be spending a few weeks answering these questions. Tonight, we will be watching and discussing the documentary, “Unlocking the Mystery of Life” to begin our study on this topic.

This Weeks Youth Focus – 12/20

This Thursday, we are going to be spending more time than usual discussing the Gospel Community Group question posted for 12/16/2012.  Our discussion will primarily be centered on the biblical relationship between God and evil.

  1. How can we comfort one another, including ourselves, in the midst of the tragic elementary school shooting in Connecticut? Any Scripture passages come to mind?
  2. How can we be a light to a dark nation during this dark time. Give realistic and practical examples.
  3.  Assume you are out in the public and are able to start up a conversation with a non believer. Assuming you are concerned for their salvation, how would you respond if the individual says to you “I have always been open to the idea of a God, but I just can’t allow myself to follow a God that would allow such a horrible tragedy”?
  4.  What is the biblical relationship between God and evil?
  5. Do you trust that God will completely “work all things for good” (Rom 8:28) or does your heart struggle with this truth? Share.

As always, I looked forward to these great meetings with the young people of Emmaus!
