First Baptist Church San Antonio - Mid-Week in the City

A group in a church—single adults, whatever—can plan some activities and some Bible studies, and we can call it a ministry. Or we can restructure the way we live together, and we can call it a life. Wednesday night, join us for a conversation about what it’s going to take to create a kind of life with each other in which we know intimate friendship, fight fair, call forth the best in one another, and make room for others.

You’re pretty vulnerable on the inside; everybody is. But if we never let people see into our soul, we will not be able to love and to be loved. How do we build a fellowship that we can trust with our inner life? That’s the question we’ll tackle this Wednesday.

Can the church envision a way of living that rises higher than families’ fearful secrets or a bitter war of words or the alienation of people? Let’s consider these things carefully this Wednesday as Mid-Week In the City partners with FBCSA University.

A conversation—a real conversation—takes place when it really can go anywhere, instead of in some pre-determined direction that someone has decided it should go. If we’re going to look into life’s mysteries this summer at Mid-Week In the City, it’s going to take quite a few of those real conversations. So, this week, let’s do this: You set the agenda. You ask the questions. Ask me whatever. I’ll do my best to answer you, and you’ll do your best to answer me, and all of a sudden it’s kind of like real life. Unafraid of questions—that’s the church at its best.

Gather with other single adults as we look at living a good life. We mean for this time to be hilarious, surprising, and honest. If we pull that off, we’ll be having a pretty great summer.

It’s time again for ABW—an unscripted, no- subject-off-limits conversation. Historically, there’s been no better place than the church to ask tough questions. Let’s make it so again. Sometimes we’ll find some answers, sometimes we’ll have to leave it at “I don’t know”, but we’ll always have some good conversation.

You say you want to do what pleases God. But does that mean you expect God to tell you what to do? How much say do you have in creating your future? And when does waiting for an answer become avoidance of commitment?

Panel Guests: Ron Belgau, Matthew Lee Anderson & Johanna Finegan. Sexual desire is reality that all of us are called to steward well, regardless of how any of us identify—gay, straight, lesbian, whatever. None of us get to sidestep the Bible’s teaching.
