We are off and running…
Radical Experiment is officially underway. We are currently clobbering Genesis while praying for the entire world via Operation World. Amazingly, some have even gone so far as refraining from their $8 Venti Tri Pump Quad Shot Café Mocha. I know it is hard to believe, but it is true. Seriously, we hope you have joined in on the sanctifying fun, but if not…we urge you to do so quickly. Go to Radical Experiment to get all the details. Whether you are in Birmingham beginning classes for your spring semester or in another state on Jan-Term break, you can stay on track with the rest of your church family by keeping up via the Radical website.
Multiplying Community…
One of the facets of the Radical Experiment is committing to a Multiplying Community. Although it is not the common trend among college students, every Christ-follower should commit wholeheartedly to membership of a local church (see Stephanie’s post on Church Membership). But, even deeper than that, we should commit ourselves to a disciple-making small group that is intentionally sharing, showing, and teaching the Word while serving the world together. If you are not already connected to a College Small Group, there will be several opportunities for you to do so over the next month.
- GroupLink: Our adult ministry is hosting a Group Link next Sunday, January 17th at 6pm in the Student Building. College Ministry will have several small group leaders for you to connect with and our staff will be there for those who want to form their own group.
- College Mixer: This is a time is for college students to hangout and learn more about the Brook Hills College Ministry while enjoying a FREE catered lunch. The College Mixer will also give you an opportunity to connect to an existing College Small Group or form a new one among your friends. Spring Semester College Mixer will be January 31 at 12:30 p.m in the student building.
I cannot stress to you how important it is to connect to biblical community, especially in light of our church’s year long Radical Experiment. Most of our College Small Groups will not start up until the first week of February (the week following the College Mixer). So until then, I pray you maintain consistency in your daily reading through the Word and praying for the world.
Below is last week’s sermon by David Platt. It would be worth the 45min watch to get a good overview of what all The Church at Brook Hills is committing to over the course of the year and the resources that are available.
