TRACK TWO
Welcome back to UNITED! This year, we're transitioning to a book discussion format. Teens and parents will have separate discussion groups, but both will explore the same book—one in the Fall and another in the Winter. As our returning teens continue to mature, we now want to build on their foundation—focusing on knowing God more deeply in the Fall and developing stronger discernment in the Winter.
FALL - ATTRIBUTES OF GOD (THEOLOGY)
Jesus said eternal life is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He sent (John 17:3).
God wants us to know him! But how often do we slow down and truly study God’s character—His attributes—and intentionally pursue deeper knowledge of who He is?
​
In our Fall study, we will explore Jen Wilkin's book, None Like Him: 10 Ways God Is Different From Us (And Why That's a Good Thing).
​
God is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, and incomprehensible.
We're not.
And that's a good thing.
Our limitations are by design. We were never meant to be God. But at the root of every sin is our rebellious desire to possess attributes that belong to God alone. Calling us to embrace our limits as a means of glorifying God's limitless power, Jen Wilkin invites us to celebrate the freedom that comes when we rest in letting God be God.​
Potluck Kick-off on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 5:30-7:30 PM.
Meetings on 9/7 (Potluck Kick-Off), 9/14, 9/21, 10/5, 10/12, 11/2, 11/9, 11/16, 12/7 (Christmas Party).
All meetings on Sundays. 5:30 food & fellowship. Book discussion from 6:00-7:30.
WINTER - DISCERNMENT (APOLOGETICS)
After the New Year, we'll shift into developing stronger discernment. Spurgeon said, "Discernment isn't knowing the difference between right and wrong. It's knowing the difference between right and almost right." In a world where many false teachings—like New Thought and progressive Christianity—wear Christian labels, discernment is more crucial than ever. My prayer is that this book study will help us develop the spiritual wisdom to recognize truth from error, guarding our faith against subtle lies that can easily deceive even the well-intentioned.
Meetings on 1/11, 1/18, 1/25, 2/1, 2/22, 3/1, 3/8, 3/15. (dates tentative)
All meetings on Sundays. 5:30 food & fellowship. Book discussion from 6:00-7:30.
