What's Happenin' at Coliision

Below is a brief summary of what we have been talking about recently.  Most of the time we teach through a series for several weeks at a time that way students that miss can get caught back up quickly, and so we can dissect a topic more fully than just a one night deal. Use the overview and questions for both you and your teen to answer and have a dialog that continues outside the church walls and into your homes.  Use this opportunity to see what God is teaching your student and also allow your student to see what God is teaching/taught you.


This Week at Collision

Series Overview

Never before has our culture placed such a large target on the message of the Cross as it does today.  There is religious tolerance and abuse around everywhere except for the message of the Christian faith.  And while those in a place of persuasion have done many things to taint our reputation to the world, there is still a message that must get out.  That message is that until Christ's return, those who wish to see the message of the cross undone, they are still welcomed and loved by an almighty God.  So it's only fitting that we entitle this series "In the Cross hairs" because the culture has the message of the cross in it's cross hairs for defeat and the church should have the culture in it's cross hairs to share Christ's love.

Week 2 (2015-03-25)

Tonight we talked about the confidence we can have that the resurrection of Christ really did happen.  Ya know, as Christians we are asked to accept things based on faith, but the resurrection is one event that we can look to historical proof to base our claim.  Tonight your teen should walk away with hard truths that will help them be bold in their faith and in the resurrection of Jesus.

Week 1 (2015-03-18)

Tonight we kick things off discussing the real significance behind the cross and the real reason why it's the bedrock of our faith.  Tonight we are challenging our students to re-think what they know about the resurrection and to align it with what the scriptures have to say regarding it's true significance.

This Week at Collision

Series Overview

With this series we are putting the students in the driver's seat and allowing them to directly choose the next week's topic.  Students can vote for their preferred topic by using our "Full Circle App" or by going to the webpage linked to the QR code below.  Voting goes until Mondays at noon, then that next Wednesday the wining topic will be the nights lesson and discussion.  The topics are all the hard topics facing our culture today; from gay marriage, divorce, and abortion to being single, end times and love.

Week 7 (2015-03-11)

Tonight is our last night of our YOU Decide series....and it's very fitting that we talk about death....since this is the death of this series....sorry, couldn't resist.  Tonight we will look at 4 lessons death can teach us, but we must learn these before it's our time.  Ultimately, we must leverage every second of life now so we don't regret the choices we've made when we die.  Hopefully tonight wasn't too depressing for anyone because as a follower of Christ, we should be excited about what lies "beyond".

Week 6 (2015-03-04)

Tonight will be a topic that might generate some controversy. Gay Marriage.  Not only will we look at what the scriptures have to say about this, but also how the church has tragically misstated our primary opposition to this movement sweeping the nation.  We trust this will spark some needed changes in our attitudes and actions with regards to this topic.
