YOU FILL IN THE ____________ ; A New Series

We kick back off on Wednesday Night with the Senior in what is going to be one of our most exciting, to the point, right where you're at series that we've done at NMC. On Wednesday Night, December 3, we collected nearly 200 questions from students concerning their personal questions, struggles and doubts with Christianity. No question was "off limits." We've been able to compile the majority of those questions into 17 categories that would be able to fill in the blank to this statement,

"As Followers of Christ, what's the deal with ___________________?"

Tomorrow night, the students get to pick their top 5 from those 17 categories. We will take those 5 weeks by filling in the blank with the top 5 voted topics. We'll looking at what God's word says, addressing specific questions, and providing forum for further discussion.

The categories we are voting on tomorrow night:
  1. Stress & Depression
  2. Parent and/or family Conflict
  3. God’s Will
  4. bad things happening to good people, and good things happening to bad people
  5. sharing your faith with Friends
  6. Spiritual Growth
  7. Homosexuality
  8. Drinking & Alcohol
  9. Divorce
  10. Past Failure & Hypocrisy
  11. What other people think
  12. Cheating
  13. Swearing & Cussing
  14. being "fake" at church
  15. confrontation conflict with “believers”
  16. Enteratinment
It looks like there are some more elephants we are going to be addressing in this room!

It's amazing that we're almost on the same track for January with pulling an entire series directly from the students responses.

I'll post info tomorrow about the series we're starting this Sunday at GSM that will run until the end of January.

I'll be praying for you guys! Keep up the good work.
