Christian Student Fellowship

This week David shared about Sabbath - both what it is and then how we can incorporate this pattern into our lives.  

We see from Jesus' life that intimacy with God without attention to Him is impossible.  Silence and Solitude is a pattern Jesus used to maintain this in every day life.

Gretchen kicked off the spring semester of CSF's Monday Night Worship talking about developing a Rule of Life.  She shared the purpose behind the series from Romans 12:1-2.  Then she shared the first pattern - how though Jesus's schedule was full, he managed to live in an unhurried way.  We can as well.  Special guest Abigail shares her story as a part of this message.

Gretchen began our series Finding Your Way Back To God.  She shared about how the first step in the Prodigal Son's story was awakening to longing. 

Special thanks to Community Christian Church for inspiring this content.

Samuel wrapped up our Framework series talking about the mission to which all Jesus followers are called.  Special guest, UIS senior, Abigail!

Gretchen shared about the importance of being in a Gospel centered community for living a life of faith.  She showed how the Jesus following community found in Acts 2 is a compelling vision for us to aspire to together today.  

Monday Night Worship is BACK!!  Week 1, David began our Framework series, sharing what CSF is all about:  The Gospel of Jesus.  

We kicked off week 1 of our Micah 6:8 Devotional series entitled "What Does God Want?"  We learned that Mia and Kelsey REALLY know their homophones.  We also learned a little from David about applying a biblical worldview when defining justice.  Then, Kayla shared several ways that we can practically begin acting justly right now.

Ephesians 6:10-24: a compelling summary and Psalm 1: a beckoning intro. These bookends both use beautiful imagery to describe how truly good life comes from drawing strength from God.

On Nov. 15th, David shared about the book of Micah - preparing us for our 3 week devotional based on Micah 6:8 entitled "What Does God Want?"  By looking at the context for Micah 6:8, we learn that ultimately what God wanted then, and has always wanted, is whole hearted surrender.  In short, He wants US.
