Hello! We are so glad you are here. Below you’ll find an overview on our current Wednesday Night teaching series for both Trek (middle school) & True North (high school). If you ever have any questions about what we are teaching or simply want to talk about it please contact a staff person, we’d love to meet with you in person!
TREK SERIES OVERVIEW
A four-week series about looking at some specific passages from John’s gospel where people encounter Jesus and that encounter prompts some kind of witness or invitation on their part – to family, friends, town, etc.
WEEK ONE (January 30)
Scripture: John 1:29, 35-42
Bottom Line: The invitation is to come and see Jesus. Seeing Jesus for who he is leads us to us inviting those we love to see him as well. Point to him – let them see – he speaks to their heart. Asks a question: “What do you want?” – “where are you? What are you seeking?”
WEEK TWO (February 6)
Scripture: John 1:43-51
Bottom Line: Jesus seeks disciples who are honest – tell the truth, admit the truth, see the truth. Masks keep you from speaking the truth – and keep you from seeing the truth. Jesus is the truth.
WEEK THREE (February 13)
Scripture: John 3: 1-21
Bottom Line: Jesus gives new life in the Spirit. Jesus own life was wholly dependent on the Spirit. Jesus knew that life cannot happen without the Spirit and Nicodemus needed a supernatural do-over in his life – he needed new life and continued life by the Spirit. Jesus here encounters a man who seeks him but is puzzled – has questions, challenges, doesn’t understand. The issue is dead or alive. Admit your doubts, take them to Jesus. Only Jesus gives life.
WEEK FOUR (February 20)
Scripture: John 4:4-7, 28-30, 39-42
Bottom Line: When others see. It is the witness of the Samaritan woman who met Jesus – “come, see a man who told me everything I ever did” – that led others to him. They came, saw, heard, and responded.
