Isaiah:  Striving Less & Trusting God More

 

“Following God isn’t about striving; it’s about trusting God more. Trust is at the heart of every health relationship, especially your relationship with God. It’s one thing to say you rest in God, but does your stress, worry, or general lack of peace give evidence that you rely on Him? In this study, Melissa Spoelstra encourages you to let go of striving and learn to trust God’s character, comfort, and even His correction. As you study the book of Isaiah – from the prophet’s challenges to the nation of Israel, to prophesies of the Messiah – you’ll see that you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests.”

PWYouth Fall Retreat
Oct 27 – Oct 29 all-day

The 198Os brought us some of the most amazing love songs and romantic movie scenes the world has ever known. Kids of the 8Os grew up learning all about love through big on-screen gestures and rock bands with amazing hair, but several decades later we still don’t have a full grasp on what exactly we mean when we talk about love. The word love itself might bring up a different idea or memory for each person who hears it – so what exactly is love? At this retreat we’ll look at the words of Jesus and his closest followers to discover that love is not something we should have to earn or something only meant for a few. Instead, we are free to love others and we are free to be loved.

 

Activities include: Large group worship times, small groups, basketball tournaments, hide and seek games, watercolor, dance parties, and so much more!

 

Who: students in grades 6-12

Where: Youthfront West

When: October 27-29

Cost: $8O

Registration closes October 6!
