CONTEND: Resurrection Life

This week, Raegan talks through the 3 core lies that keep us from joining God in His heart to seek and save the lost. Through Luke 15, we see the truths that combat these lies and see Gods great desire to rescue those who are lost.

As we kick off a new school year, Raegan Griffith calls Youth of the City to not lose desperation and hunger for God. Through the words and burden of the prophet Jeremiah, we receive an invitation to resist letting idols dull our desperation for God.

As we come to the end of our series, Compelled, Billy Sprague teaches how as we are compelled by Jesus, we are then commissioned to bring the gospel to the world. We are commissioned because Jesus trusts us, and then He prompts us into evangelism with His love and restores us when we fail.

This week, Matt Son takes us through the story of Exodus to show Gods faithfulness and reminds us that we now have relationship with the same God that freed the Israelites by parting the Red Sea! How does grasping the faithfulness of God lead us to a Compelled life?

This week, Silvia Navarro Valdez continues our Compelled series by sharing about the JOY of Jesus. She illuminates the beautiful truth that Jesus was a person of joy and life in God is a life filled with Joy!

We see in scripture that as we are compelled by who Jesus is, we will respond by wholeheartedly giving our lives to partnership with Him. In this teaching, Keithen Schwahn shares the heart and power that Jesus carries to bring freedom to those captive to sin. This realization leads to a life of freely confessing sin and contending for freedom for those captive!

We see in scripture that as we are compelled by who Jesus is, we will respond by wholeheartedly giving our lives to partnership with Him. In this teaching, Keithen Schwahn explores the reality of Jesus being our advocate and invites Youth of the City to not settle for living in scarcity and instead daring to dream with God for what is possible in a life of partnership with Him.

As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus this Easter Sunday, we wanted to share a previously recorded teaching from a few months ago. Raegan Griffith shares about how Jesus contended against death in His resurrection life through the lens of her own personal story of the death of her dad and the way God met her in the midst of grief with profound hope.
