Outdated vs Relevant

Hey,

So today's talk topic was about Outdated vs Relevant: What does Christianity have to do with me?

Before I go on to talk about this I first want to advertise what we heard about in CU central today which is an event called Momentum that is a 5 day camping event in Staffordshire, however this is mainly for students and young adults up to 30, I think.

2 Corinthians 4:7-9

"Yet we who have this spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, in order to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not to us. We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hart at times, we are not destroyed."


What is a relevant Christian?

It could mean trusting in God even when it's hard or it could mean staying true to your faith and presenting something helpful. These are just some ideas, what do you think?


"spiritual treasure are like common clay plots"

The work of Jesus, It's not about you but about Jesus

"We are often troubled, but to crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair . . . we are not destroyed."

 The glory of God is in me





There are 3 areas to talk about to do with this generation

1. Trust

Don't really trust the government which is shown by the increase in votes that is likely due to young people voting more.

Don't really trust their parents as their say can't do something when they themselves have done it

Don't really trust science as people seem to think that science has the answers for everything

Don't really trust sales people as noone talks to people on the street anyone as when you see them you think what do they want or when they going to ask for money

Live out what you say and live out your faith

2. Truth

C.S. Lewis

"Christianity, If false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."

Coming out of a Post-modernism society which is where everyone acts on personal preference, but are now searching for the truth, looking for right and wrong





3. Transformed

God is not looking for able people as much as available people.



Nothing holding me back
