GROWING UP: A LIFELONG JOURNEY

by Robert Loane & Randy Reese

Growing Up: A Lifelong Journey is an 8-week spiritual formation experience in paying attention to, and aligning our lives with, God’s ongoing good work in this world, in our community, and in our unique lives. Three baseline reflective questions will be introduced: Who is God? Who am I? What does God desire to do through me?

During the 8-week study, participants explore themes of discipleship, discovery, and depth in Jesus’ way. Particular attention is paid to the book of Ephesians. We seek to listen together and respond to the echo of Paul’s exhortation, “We must no longer be children…but we must grow up in every way into him, into Christ…” (Ephesians 4:14-16). What does it mean for us today to grow up into Christ-maturity? And for each of us, what are next steps in paying attention to and aligning our unique lives with God’s good and gracious work in the world today?

This experience is designed for Sunday School classes, adult Bible fellowships, and small groups. It is also a tool to help introduce the feel of the Emerging year to prospective participants.
