This week at
Thirsty Thursdays - Young Adult Bible Study


"I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain." (1 Corinthians 15:1-2, NIV)


What do we really believe? Are we really Christians, or merely church members? God wants us to trust Him (through Jesus) in all things. But in reality many of us only turn to God as a last resort, when all else fails, and we think we have nothing else to lose.

Join us this week as we discuss 1 Corinthians 15, Paul's passionate explanation of the Resurrection. His message will remind us that our trust and enthusiasm for the Lord is never in vain!

Minister to Young Adults
