C4 Young Adults

Advent is a season of waiting as we anticipate the advent (arrival) of Jesus. In the lifelong reality of waiting, there is beauty and struggle, and God gives us glimpses of His presence to encourage us in the waiting, just as he did in the Old Testament.

We are surrounded by invisible realities. The realities of heaven, hell, angels, and demons and the after life. But do their presence change the way we live? Jesus thought they should. Come explore Luke 12 with us and see how our lives are to be shaped by eternity.

Our story has a villain, and that villain has made war with God and his people. As enlisted men and women on the front lines, enter the situation room to hear key briefings on our enemy, so that we might stand our ground in this battle as we await our conquering King.

 God is at work in all the realms he has created, in heaven and on earth, and angels are at the heart of the story of God. Come examine the nature and purpose of the angelic realm, and be encouraged by how the spiritual realm is at work all around us. A Q&A follows the message.

Our God is a God of purpose, but often we struggle to understand the purposes of God, especially the purpose of hell. Tonight see that hell exists to exalt the justice of God, echo the glory of God, and exalt the love of God. A Q&A follows the message. 

 Jesus gives us a preview of coming invisible realities, including both heaven and hell. Jesus' first NT sermon was on hell, and He spends more time on hell than heaven. Tonight we look at Jesus' teaching on this imminent judgment for all unbelievers, and examine the nature of hell, which is a real, painful, and eternal place. A Q&A follows the message. 

so what will our experience of heaven be like? Does grandpa pray for me from heaven? Will heaven be boring? What will we do there? Find the answers to these questions and more as we learn what heaven will be like. 

We all want to go to heaven? But what is heaven like? Where is it? Who will be there? Why does it exist? Come find out exciting truths about the best place on earth!

The judgment seat of Christ is the final exam for the Christian, where God doles out generous rewards to those who faithfully built their life on the foundation of Christ. Come learn about the judgment seat of Christ and eternal rewards, and be encouraged to live faithfully today to earn eternal rewards tomorrow. A Q&A follows the message. 

 At the root of the Christian life lies belief in invisible realities and unseen realms. Yet the spiritual world is more real than the temporal world that we inhabit, and as believers we ought to have the utmost interest in heavenly things. Join us as we begin this journey and examine what happens to us when we die and end with a Q&A.

The Christian life is full of storms. Failing to understand this causes some Christians to question God’s love for them. Luckily for us, the disciples faced a literal storm to help us understand and face the storms in our lives. In Mark 4:35-41, we learn about the power and presence of Jesus through a great storm, a great calm, and great fear. 

When it comes to salvation, what is my role? What is God's? Come explore Romans 9-11 and see the wonder of God's sovereignty and our own call to action. It will lead you to worship and praise!

When Jesus came he turned every expectation upside down. Come learn the freedom, joy, and salvation that is found in Jesus' upside down kingdom!

Materialism and entitlement have led many of us down a path of discontentment. In this key text, Paul reminds Timothy that the greatest acquisition in this life is godliness with contentment, and exhorts Timothy (and us) to avoid the dangers of the love of money and to pursue contentment in what Christ has given us. 

David has great plans to build a temple for God, but God tells him no. His dilemma is true for us as well: we all make plans, and God at torpedoes those plans. Let's learn together how to respond when God calls us to give up our plans to enter into His greater plan. 

John Dryden said "We first make our habits, and then our habits make us." Therefore, the goal is to intentionally make habits that form us into Christ's image. Join us as we consider the 9 habits of the intentional Christian life.

Singleness is a hot topic in Christian culture, and a season that many Christians understandably struggle with. But Paul teaches us that every Christian has a God-glorifying purpose, and the path of biblical singleness is a gift that must not be wasted because it affords a better opportunity than marriage to cultivate undivided devotion to God. Join us as we examine Paul's call to value present undivided devotion to God in singleness as a greater desire than present marital union.

We often find ourselves waiting for something in life. Yet seasons of waiting can often leave us frustrated or disappointed. How, then, can we learn to wait well? As we look at Psalm 37 and other places in Scripture, we see the fact of waiting, the dangers of waiting, and hope in waiting. 

Our morning and evenings are full of habits, intentional and unintentional. Is the Lord part of your evening rhythm? Come learn from Psalm 4 the ancient evening practices of communing with the Lord.

 The problems of life can lead us to lament. David lets his lament lead him to the throne, where he is reminded that salvation belongs to our God.
