The two strategic […]

To briefly recap our time at youth group last night, we spent our time deviating a little bit from our norm to talk about Christian Missions, and more specifically, how our youth group could get involved in missions. We started by discussing missions, and pointing out that it’s a central part of the Christian life, […]

In an attempt to briefly summarize, here’s the main thing we talked about that would […]

Last night we spent some more time in the book of Ephesians, focusing on chapter 2:11-22. In summary, Paul reminds the Gentiles (non-Jews) that they were alienated from Israel, and without hope before Jesus, but now in Christ, they are brought into God’s covenant promise. We talked about how Jesus, in this sense, restored the […]
