First Christian Church Champaign

Have you ever had an arch-enemy? Maybe even back in 2nd grade there was that classmate you couldn’t stand. Now imagine you were asked to deliver them good news… would you still go through with it? For week 3 of 72 Hours, we see how God calls us to answer that question.

What would you do if you were swallowed whole by a whale for like three days? Stumped? Yeah, us too. For week two of our 72 Hours series, we catch some insights on a crucial aspect of following Jesus.

We’ve all been there before—running from God. And it’s never a good feeling when the irreligious people act more religious than the religious. So what’s the solution when we disagree with God’s will for our life? Let’s find out together in week 1 of our study through Jonah - 72 Hours.

See-saw. Play catch. Go on a date. What do these have in common? It takes two people to do them! Yet, why do we convince ourselves one person can make a relationship better? As we wrap up our Relationship Goals series, we see how it takes two to tango.

Ever heard the phrase, “you are what you eat?” Now, no one believes they will turn into a Twinkie if they ate a whole box. However, most of us get the premise. So, why is it that we believe certain relationships can change the habits of other people? In week 2 of Relationship Goals, we find out if that’s really the case.

There is a lot of relationship, dating, and marriage advice out there. To be honest, the church tends to come up with its myths as well. In week one of Relationship Goals, we see how only one relationship brings wholeness in life.

Everywhere you look, stories meet us head-on. From commercials to movies to Facebook shares—some stories are mundane, but others affect us deeply. We believe there is one narrative above them all. As we wrap up our Doctrine series, we frame the Scripture narrative to help us better understand and apply God’s word.

There is power in stories. Would you agree to that statement? Most of us have been inspired because of a story we’ve read, heard, or seen. For week 3 of Doctrine, we look at the inspiration and power behind God’s Word, the Bible, and how it can radically transform your life.

Trying to describe God is an unfathomable task. Portraying something like His love is more manageable than depicting the Trinity. In week 2 of Doctrine, we scratch the surface of explaining the faith-filled mystery of the triune nature of God.

From grandma’s cooking to the color of the sun, sometimes the greatest things in life are hard to define or explain. In a lot of ways, the same goes for God. Think about it; what words would you use to describe God? You can choose a myriad of words, but throughout Scripture, one word stands above them all. Join us for week 1 of Doctrine as we dive into understanding God himself.
