Fan: an enthusiastic admirer. In the
Gospels, Jesus never seemed too
interested in fans. Is this how we want
to define our relationship with Him?
This month we’ll invite Switch
students to join the followers of Christ
who step across the line and say: I am
not a fan.

We’ll talk about spiritual warfare and
how we might experience attacks in our
physical world. We’ll help students
realize that we know the outcome of
this spiritual battle; we know the end of
the story, and God’s side wins! Jesus has
overcome all things in this world, and
we can live free from whatever tries to
hold us down. We’ll answer questions
that students ask about supernatural
world to provide clarity and truth on
the subject matter.

We can filter our images, pick the news
we want to hear, and listen only to the
viewpoints that agree with us. When we
do that, we start to distort our view of
the world. The same thing can happen to
our view of God. We reshape our
perception of Him into what we want to
believe, or what we want to think about
others. Jesus came to bring us the truth
about God and His plan for us, and it
doesn’t always sound like what you may
think.

Leave your baggage behind. In a
crowded, busy holiday season, it’s
common for people to feel weighed
down by family relationships, financial
pressure, regret, or failure. This series will
help people see that the weight they feel
comes from things that God never asked
them to carry, and His solution is simple:
Let go of the baggage and travel light.

Throughout the Bible we see stories of God
meeting needs even when He doesn’t meet
our expectations. We see Jesus calming doubts,
God rewarding faith, and ordinary people
slaying giants when they trust in the Father.
The same can be true today, when we’re
facing giants of doubt, fear, inadequacy,
failure, or any number of other things that just
seem too tall to overcome alone.

What happens when you have a question
you can't answer? Do you ignore it? Do
you seek out the answer until you find it?
All of us have questions. Some of your
questions can clearly be answered. Other
questions can never be answered. We
believe that good questions inspire great
learning even if we don't arrive at
conclusions.

Are you a fighting a war
within? Sometimes we
get held hostage by a
version of ourselves we
don’t want to be. But in
this four-part series, This
series teaches how to get
out of your own way and declare war on
the things that are
holding you back.
You’ll never be the
same after discovering
the secret weapons
you need to achieve
ongoing victory.
