When askED "what do you hope to get out of young adult ministry", you said this...
YOUNG ADULTHOOD CAN BE A LONELY PLACE. IT IS CLEAR THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO GROW DEEPER IN THEIR FAITH AND TO DO THAT IN COMMUNITY THIS IS THE MAIN REASON BEHIND STARTING THE "BE ANCHORED" SERIES IN JOURNEY GROUPS!
THERE IS A LOT OF NOISE AND DISTRACTION IN THE WORLD THAT KEEP US FROM BEING ANCHORED TO THE SOURCE OF OUR LOVE, JESUS. JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES THAT OTHERS WILL KNOW THAT THEY ARE HIS DISCIPLES BY THE LOVE THAT THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER. THESE OTHER NARRATIVES ASK FOR OUR TIME AND OUR ATTENTION, AND WE END UP BEING TIRED, SPREAD THIN, NOT CONNECTED, FLOATING, LOST, SWIMMING IN THE SEA OF COMPETING AND CONFUSING NARRATIVES THAT PULL US AWAY FROM GOD AND FROM EACH OTHER.
WE INVITE YOU TO “BE ANCHORED” WITH US, THE YOUNG ADULTS AT IMMANUEL. WE WILL BE ANCHORED WITHIN OUR JOURNEY GROUPS, SPENDING TIME IN THE WORD.
FIRST, WE WILL CAMP IN LUKE, DISCUSSING THE JESUS WE MEET THERE TOGETHER. WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE MEALS JESUS HAD WITH OTHERS AND SHARING WHAT WE LEARN FROM DIVING INTO SCRIPTURE TOGETHER. AS WE DIVE IN, WE ARE PROMPTED WITH OUR OWN PERSONAL INVITATION TO EAT WITH JESUS, AND WE WILL BE ASKING WHO ELSE DO WE NEED TO INVITE TO OUR TABLE.
AFTER OUR STUDY IN LUKE, WE DIVE INTO SEEING HOW SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES CAN TRANSFORM US. SPIRITUAL FORMATION IS NOT ONLY SOMETHING OUR EARLY CHURCH FATHERS DID, BUT SOMETHING FOR US TODAY.
TOGETHER THROUGH THESE TWO MINI-SERIES, WE WILL BE ANCHORED TO GOD AND TO EACH OTHER AND WE WILL SEE WHAT IS BIRTHED OUT OF THIS TIME, FOR US AND FOR THE YOUNG ADULTS.
LET US PRAY: WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO YOU LORD. HAVE YOUR WAY WITH US.
