iGROW
This Week @ iGROW:
God has a plan, which is bigger than we can even imagine, and His plan includes each one of us. Unfortunately, our sinful nature makes us desire to be our own god. As Christians, we often struggle between wanting the good stuff God wants for us and still wanting all the worldly things we think will make us happy. Even as our understanding of and relationship with Him grows, we can still hang on to this sinful nature and desire to be our own god. We want to realize God’s blessings for our lives and do His will in the world, but we strive to achieve these by our own strength, with our own methods, and according to our own schedule. The lesson of Jacob and Esau is simple to grasp intellectually but much harder to actualize in our everyday lives. Simply stated: God is God, and we are not.
The Thread Overview
So many teenagers simply don’t have a grasp of the narrative of the Bible. Key characters. Key events. Few students understand how these elements fit into the story of God and His people. The Thread aims to change this. In The Thread you will learn what the Gospel is, and how it courses through the narrative of Scripture. Not only will you learn the story of the Bible, but you will see that it is a story of unfailing love, as God seeks the beginning of Creation to draw humankind to Him through the grace of the Gospel.
What is iGROW?
iGrow is a weekly experience that helps teenagers grow in their faith and understanding of God’s Word while connecting with others on the same faith journey. Each teenager also has an opportunity to be in an iGroup, which are consistent, dedicated groups of teenagers that are led by caring adults. iGrow gives teenagers a chance to build safe relationships and navigate faith and life together. In addition, teenagers have opportunities to participate in outings to strengthen relationships throughout the year.
