it's not fair!

Each of us, regardless of age, will inevitably struggle with the outcomes of a situation because it isn't fair. What we fail to realize is that this concept of fairness actually comes into play in far more of our decisions and behaviors than we realize. Our goal as Jesus followers isn't to completely overlook the concept of fairness, but instead to view who this concept of fairness applies to. Are we more concerned about the fairness of our own situation, or addressing the unfairness of the lives of others?

3. Why is it important that we understand that Jesus often loved in ways that didn't seem fair?

4. How do the concepts of "fair" and "just" differ from each other?

  • january 14 - start here

    Sometimes following God feels a little complicated. There seem to be many things to remember, prayers to pray, and guidelines for how we're supposed to live. How do we even know where to start? In this series, we'll find our starting point in the words of Jesus. We'll point your teen toward the greatest thing Jesus calls us to do: love God, love others, and love ourselves. When it comes to faith, they can start here!

  • january 21 - undercover

    In our world today, it's very easy to hide that fact that we follow Jesus. So good in fact that we tend to just look and act like everyone else. But what if Jesus called us to be more than an "undercover Christian"? This series will focus on how we can begin to take steps to live out our faith rather than blend in with the people around us.
