This Program Is For You

on January 15th, 2008

This weekend during the teaching Fields’ taught a great point about the purpose of the weekend, entry-level crowd program to our students. Here’s the three reasons he said the weekend was for everyone :

Spiritually
Relationally
Evangelistically

First off, everyone can grow. Whether it is a lesson with one verse of Scripture or an in-depth study through an entire passage, you should be growing. I even wonder if saying “you aren’t being fed” is a sign of spiritual immaturity. And let’s not forget that the weekend service is a great time to connect. It is a great time for the beginnings of Christian community to appear. We want to move students into small groups, but the weekend is a great first step. Finally, the weekend service is geared toward seekers, stumbles and the sold out. Bring a friend to this warm, safe environment to have them be introduced to Jesus. You don’t have to preach necessarily, just bring.

Good stuff!
