Twenty-Somethings

Tonight's message was different than normal in the best kind of way. We began by talking about the letter to Pergamum and how the church had compromised. But for the second half of the message, we did an activity where those in attendance wrote a letter as if Jesus was writing a letter to Twenty-Somethings. We talked about what Jesus would praise the ministry for, how we might have compromised and need to get back on the right track, and how we can support each other to keep the ministry faithful.

How can we have courage in all things? How can we remain faithful to Jesus in the midst of persecution? What hope do we have in Jesus in hard things? Listen in as Caleb Eissler answers these questions and more in this next installment in our Revelation series!

What can we learn from the letter to the church in Ephesus? How can we tell if we love Jesus more than anything else in this world? What can we do to ensure we love Jesus more than anything else? Listen in as Caleb Eissler answers these questions and more!

How can we endure persecution? How can we withstand cultural pressures from the world around us? What does it mean to fear the Lord? How can the fear of the Lord lead to greater love for Jesus? Listen in as Caleb Eissler answers these questions and more from Revelation 1:9-20!

Listen in as Caleb Eissler kicks off our sermon series in Revelation by helping us learn the context and genres of Revelation so we can understand this incredible book. Revelation is a book of Gospel-hope meant to help Christians trust in Jesus no matter what comes. Caleb shows this theme throughout the message. To close, he share 5 observations from Revelation 1:1-8 that help us understand the purpose and theme of the book.

To close out our relationships series, the Twenty-Somethings Advisory Team (Caleb Eissler, Jay Minnick, Jane Minnick, Kelly Broadway, and Nick Monroe) led an ask anything panel to answer live audience questions related to the message series. Topics ranged from things like finances in marriage, to emotional boundaries, to dating advice, to divorce, to sex, and more. Listen in as we close out our summer-long relationships series!

This message has one simple and important goal: to show the world the Bible's positive, joyful, passionate, sensual, and sacred view of sex between one man and one woman in the context of marriage. Listen in as Caleb Eissler shows how the world's broken and tiny view of sex is nothing compared to the Bible's glorious view. During the message, Caleb tries to remove some of the confusion or mystery surrounding the Song of Songs as he seeks to show that it is a profound book about God's good gift of sex. Caleb primarily walks through Genesis, 1 Corinthians, Proverbs, Song of Songs, and Ephesians to show us the goodness of sex and how it relates to the glory of God and the Gospel. Ultimately, Caleb shows us that the good gift of sex, like all good gifts, is meant to point us back to our greatest joy of all: God Himself.

Few topics are more difficult and personal than divorce and remarriage. Yet, few topics are less preached on. At Twenty-Somethings, we don't believe in avoiding tough topics. We believe God's Word is our ultimate guide for life and doctrine. In tonight's message, Caleb Eissler addresses these topics by answering questions such as the following: What is the purpose of marriage according to the Bible? Is divorce ever permissible? Is remarriage ever permissible? How does divorce differ from the Bible's vision of marriage? How does abuse relate to this conversation? What Gospel-hope do we in the midst of divorce? Caleb closed the message with some live Q&A to help bring the content home.

After talking about the Bible's theology of marriage last week, we thought it would be important to talk about the practical side of marriage. What is marriage really like? What are some myths about marriage? What are the joys of marriage? What should a Christian marriage look like? Listen in as Jay and Jane Minnick walk us through a practical teaching on marriage. After this teaching, the Minnicks host a panel of two newly married couples from Twenty-Somethings: Eli and Paige Gaitley plus Lake and Ellie McGinty.

What does the Bible teach about marriage? How does the Bible's teaching differ from our modern, Western, secular view of marriage? How does the Gospel relate to marriage? How can our marriages be a picture of the Gospel? Listen in as Caleb Eissler answers all of these questions and more in this next installment in our Relationships message series.
