David teaches his lesson from March 17's youth ministry event WOW (Wednesday's of Worship). The main question is this: Do you think you are going to heaven? Come and learn what Catholics say and how that is the normal way humans think about earning the right to go to heaven. According to Catholic theology, you must belong to the Catholic church and then work off your sin either in this life or in purgatory. However, the gospel is radically different than this. Let's leave this event knowing for sure if you are truly going to heaven. Article about papal authority I referenced.
David interviews 3 RA's from UNCW to get insight into what it is like to live in the modern day dorms. Listen to Raven, Lauren and Ambar who have each been involved in various ministries at CCC and have an invaluable perspective on ho Christian teens adjust to living on their own, far away from their Christian community of school, family and church. Come and see the typical experience including the temptations to sin and the opportunities to grow in your faith on this episode of the Great Commission teen.
Today we are revisiting David's teaching from our Wednesday of Worship event on March 10. The title is "Life and Death". It is one of the greatest lies from Hell and the world that says that true life is found throwing off rules and parents and teachers and living for yourself and the moment. David also includes his own personal experiences as a teen struggling through this lie. Resources referenced: When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett and Brian Fickert "Three Simple Rules Poor Teens Should Follow to Join the Middle Class" By Ron Haskins of the Brookings Institute.
In this episode, David teaches on the complex and important issue of homosexuality. We look at the issue on 3 different levels: logical, psychological and theological. I referenced a great Bible verse without giving it's address: The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 Also I referenced a great book by Wesley Hill called "Washed and Waiting."
