iGROW
This Week @ iGROW:
All of Scripture tells a single story. It’s the story of man’s sinfulness and God’s faithfulness to redeem us as His own. In the continuation of the first covenant with Abraham, we see his grandson Jacob receive the same promise: from his line, God will make a great nation that will bless all people, and they will return to their land. While the timeline may not be what any of them expected, we see from a big-picture perspective that the events along the way are always moving toward the fulfillment of that promise. The beauty of it is that while there are victories along the way that encourage God’s people, God’s plan is bigger than they could have ever imagined. We see Joseph rise up, save his people from certain death, and redeem his family. At the same time, we understand that this is just a shadow of the ultimate Redeemer that will rise up from this family as the living Christ!
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.
