Propel Week 1: Big Life—When it comes to growing our faith, doing is better than knowing.
So what does it really take to grow up spiritually or to move forward in your faith? Some people think you can make progress by knowing a lot of stuff. They memorize lots of Bible verses and crush everyone else when it comes to Bible trivia. Others think you can grow simply by going to church a lot. That sounds good, but can you really grow just by walking into a place? Or is there a perfect equation of church attendance, Bible memorization, and Christian-music listening that makes us spiritually mature? Jesus followers’ had some of the same questions. So to help them understand, He told them the story of two men— each with a house and each with a storm. And what Jesus said about these men can help all of us find our way to move forward in our faith. Because when it comes to faith, and just about everything else, doing is better than knowing.

Out of Focus Week 1: Are You For Real?—Because you can trust the Bible, you can trust what the Bible says.

Have you ever known someone who told hard-to-believe stories? Maybe they’re always talking about some hard to believe news report that no one else has heard about or celebrity gossip that doesn’t sound quite right. Or maybe they always seem to have some tale or urban legend from your town—really wild stuff that leaves everyone asking, “Wait, did that really happen? Is that story for real?”

For a lot of us, that’s the same feeling we get when we read the Bible. Is this for real? It’s been around a long time, but does that make it reliable? Can you trust it? And should you feel bad for even asking this kind of thing?

The good news is it’s okay to ask questions. It’s okay to search. In fact, it can be a good thing. And while we may not find every answer to every question, when we take a look at some of the facts that surround the Bible, we can discover the information that we need to answer the most important question—is this for real?

Now What? Week 1: Let Down — Jesus is God’s amazing answer to “now what?” Have you ever been really disappointed? Maybe your weekend plans got cancelled suddenly and now you’re sitting at home. Maybe you didn’t make the team. Or maybe it was something more serious like your parents giving you the tough news that they’re moving and you have to change schools. In moments like that, it’s easy to feel paralyzed. What do you do? What do you say? Where do you even start? In some ways, that’s how Jesus’ followers felt after He was crucified, especially one named Mary Magdalene. All of her hopes and plans for the future had hinged on Him and watching Him die meant watching those things die as well. It was painful and disappointing. And there were no instructions on what to do next. She was stuck. But there was something going on that Mary didn’t see. There was Someone she didn’t see. And as we take a closer look at her story, we may just find that our places of greatest disappointment can also become our places of greatest peace.
