New Series Begins Sunday: Reversing Darwin




New Series Begins this Sunday-November 11th

In the dog-eat-dog world of middle school and high school, survival of the fittest often seems like the law of the land. And when we’re on the bottom of the food chain, this idea of a pecking order can start to affect the way we understand God—and maybe even the way we believe God sees us. But what if we were able to reverse this idea? What if something in Scripture allowed us to turn survival of the fittest on its head? Maybe we can start to flip the idea of “only the strong survive” and live in the reality that God has a bigger purpose and a better picture in mind—and this purpose and picture involves all of us—the strong, the weak, the in, the out, those you would expect, and those you wouldn't. Maybe in an effort to reverse Darwin, we need to start by understanding who God created us to be and how to live like it matters. 

Nov 11th-Survive
Bottom Line: When the world seems to favor the strong, God is present with the weak. 

Nov 18th-Classify
Bottom Line: We tend to see categories but Jesus came to abolish them.  

Nov 25th-Adapt
Bottom Line: When we adapt to survive, we misrepresent ourselves—and God—to the world around us.
