I hope we are beginning to reach younger adults. They live busy lives. Some have had bad experiences with church. Some have had very little experience of church. Our challenge is to help them know the good news of Jesus Christ and how to live out their faith in everyday life.
I have started a new Young Adult Class using the teachings that have changed my life the most in the last 6 years: Real Love Essentials and The Real Love Bible Workbook by Greg Baer. (To learn about Real Love go to reallove.com.) We are looking for the ways these teachings help us to know the good news of Jesus, not as information, but as inner peace in our relationship with God and with people. Once we have finished Real Love Essentials, which I expect will take us at least 8 months, we will spend three months on the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. Then we will be ready for basics of the Bible: what the Bible is, how to read it, and how to study it.
When you pray, ask God to bring together in our church, a group of young adults who are committed to love each other and to grow in their ability to serve God. Please ask God to give me and my assistant teacher, Donna Walker, the inner supply of God’s love and the wisdom we need to love and teach the young adults who will commit themselves to our class.
