No one wants to be told what to do, right? So we say things like "you do you" and allow all people to make their own decisions. That seems to work for our culture, but does it work for God? While our culture preaches tolerance, our God preaches repentance - and the difference is life-changing.

Romans 1:20-2:4

God gave us perfect definitions to set us up for life in its fullest, but all of those were destroyed when sin entered the world. Since then, humans have been trying our best to 'rebuild' perfection our world and our souls by creating our own definitions of who we are. What if instead we listened to the voice of God and trusted that His definition of things is in fact the best thing for us?

God's grace is unfairly good! We are spared from the punishment we deserve - thank God! So often we long for what's fair, but Jesus' death on the cross was the most unfair moment of human history.

Many things may come to mind when thinking about random trivial facts about our secular world. What comes to your mind when you think about God? What about Jesus' death on the cross?

Some of Jesus final prayers were about the unity of His people. Of all the things that Jesus could have prayed for...why unity? This week we'll unpack the power that unity has...and the power that divison has. We'll see that Jesus cared so much about unity in the church that He was willing to give His life for it. And we'll unpack what role each believer needs to play in seeking unity in the Church!

Reputation may be a tricky subject for students. For some, the reputation they have is the one they want. For others, their reputation feels unfair, undeserved, and unchanging no matter what. There's a tension here for students in that, for better or for worse, they have little control over what others think of them. Developing integrity is one thing they can control.

Scripture:
Proverbs 15:1
