God, Our Home!

The idea of “family” is different in many cultures. It was even different in the many cultures that made up the Biblical world! It can be broken, whole, or something in between, even in the Bible. However, one thing has remained constant: family is formative for every human being. Through Jesus, we are adopted into the family of faith that God creates. Whatever our families look like, Christians are trying to live as a part of God’s Divine family in many different ways. That’s what we will discuss this week.

When we center youth, we don’t lose our identity—we remember it. A thriving church is one where every generation grows together in love.

A lot of people might say, “I don’t know how to pray. I don’t know what words to say.” However, God gave us eyes, ears, and other senses to perceive the world. Spiritual practices begin with simply paying attention to what God is doing in the world around you and trying to let go of all of the things that would prevent you from seeking God’s will. We don’t need to be experts or poets. Jesus is always waiting for us to spend time with him.
