Becoming disciples of Jesus finding their place with God in the world today.

Good movies capture our imaginations and transport us to other worlds. As we watch our favorite movies with popcorn in hand, we may not realize all of the work, edits, and rewrites that went into making the cinematic masterpiece. The same is true of our faith, too. We might expect our relationship with God to look like a finished product, but really, our faith and relationship with God are still in the making. In this 4-week series from the Gospels and Epistles, we'll explore what can happen when we invest in spiritual formation. We'll see how spending time with God can make us more like Jesus and how, when we face temptation, we can ask God for help. We'll also discover how with God, difficult moments can help our character grow and how we grow when we make things right with God.

Faith Foundations Series 1: The Story We Live In

In this series, we delve into the story of God’s creation and redemption through Jesus. First, we look at how we were created to experience a fourfold harmony of relationships: with God, with each other, with creation, and with ourselves. Then we explore the topic of sin, as depicted in the scriptures, and how it brought disharmony and destruction to those four relationships. Then the series focuses on the significance of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection in God’s plan of redemption and restoration. We highlight four names, or roles, of Jesus found in the scriptures: Emmanuel, the Lamb of God, the Victor, and the Healer. Finally, we take a closer look at what it means to join God in the work of bringing healing and restoration to the world. Each episode includes an engaging conversation on a particular theological topic, discussion breaks, and practical applications for teens to practice both during the session and throughout the week. 

The modern church is facing a crisis of discipleship. It’s not that people don’t want to become like Jesus, or that people aren’t trying to become like Jesus. It’s that we don’t know how to become like Jesus. We need a pathway to formation for the modern era. Boulder Midweek will be learning more about Sabbath beginning January 22nd.

Sabbath is a 24-hour time period set aside to stop, rest, delight, and worship. In our era of chronic exhaustion, emotional unhealth, and spiritual stagnation, few things are more necessary than the recovery of this ancient practice.
