C4 Young Adults

In many ways, marriage can seem like the ultimate goal and can become an idol at times. Join us to look at the seriousness of God's call to marital faithfulness and love, and to reset biblical expectations for marriage so that all our future marriages might be posters for the gospel. A Q&A follows the message.

In Jesus' final moments in Acts 1 he ascends into heaven and leaves all of his disciples with a challenge: to live as a faithful witnesses because of His plan, His power, and the promise of Jesus’ return.

 In John 4 we see the disciples' tendency to stick together, to care more about the temporal than the eternal, and to fix their eyes on the wrong place. Come and be reminded of Jesus' care for the one as we seek to obey His command to go and make disciples.

The key to discipleship is self-denial because as disciples, Jesus expects us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus. However, just like Peter, many of us choose self-preservation over self-denial—yet Jesus offers us restoration and invites us to practice self-denial as we follow Him.

The heartbeat of the Christian faith is the resurrection of Jesus. Because He lives, it changes everything. Come discover the power of the resurrection as we look at eight life-changing implications for us. 

We just celebrated Easter. How do we know the resurrection to be true? Come consider the 4 facts that lead us to Jesus' resurrection from the dead as the most likely explanation of these facts.

Out of love for us, Jesus enters Jerusalem on Passover and goes to the altar as our Passover Lamb, accomplishing a way for us to be made righteous, purchasing our exchange, and atoning for our sins before a holy God. 

What is the climax of passion week? It's Jesus' crucifixion! What does it all mean? Come learn how the images of the tunic, the skull, and the criminals all contribute to our understanding of Jesus' crucifixion. In short, it's a call to believe in all that Jesus accomplished on the cross.  

Everyone can resonate with failure, especially failure in the Christian life. In this text we see the failure and shame of the disciples in their abandonment contrasted with the enduring faithfulness of Christ, and how in the end God exchanges our shame for His glory. 

Jesus prays to the Father before His death, a powerful prayer for Himself and His disciples that displays His authority as God. Pull up a front row seat to hear Jesus' prayer for you—a prayer for safety, joy, holiness, and unity—and be encouraged that God always answers His own prayers.

The Spirit often seems second place to the Father and Jesus, but it is to our advantage to have the Spirit over Jesus. Why? Come learn how the Spirit is a greater comfort, better teacher, and better coach and God worthy of our attention.

As a Christian, how does one find comfort in the face of persecution, evil, and suffering? What comforts us in the discouraging moments of life? Come see the road map to Christian comfort that Jesus lays out for His disciples—and how ultimately comfort is found in the object of our faith.

How do we find true greatness in the kingdom of God? John 13 reveals God's countercultural expectations for how we enter the kingdom and how we find true greatness in the kingdom.

There is no person in history more significant than Jesus Christ, and no event in history more significant than Passion Week. Come and see how the triumphal entry prods us to recognize that God is always directing our eyes to Christ, and challenges us to believe that Christ is the solution to every problem in life, not just our spiritual problem.

Jesus is lenient where we are forcefully and forcefully where we are lenient. There are two ways to approach life. What way will you worship? What way will you follow?

At C4, our foundation is Jesus and our purpose is his glory. How do we put that into practice? It's by pursuing the two eternal things, God's Word and people. Learn the practical skills of rightly handling God's word and drawing out his people for his glory and the furtherance of the gospel!

This vision series is intended to help us understand who we are as C4 and as young adults. As we consider the big purpose of life, come discover what the Scriptures teach is the purpose of life, and how to make choices that reflect that ultimate purpose.

Life is chaotic, uncertain, and confusing—but our God is not. He is a God or order and certainty, the promise-keeper whose words are true. When our lives become unstable, we should hold fast to the witness of God's promises and fix our gaze on the hope Jesus' promised return.

The incarnation is perhaps the greatest of realities. God came as a human to save us, rescue us, and be with us! Learn how his arrival disrupts the comfortable and comforts the disrupted.
