Do we always understand God’s judgments? Have we ever questioned whether His judgment was fair? Or have we—even once—actually believed that God wasn’t fair? The answers to these questions are vital to our understanding of Scripture and our personal relationship with God.

“As members of the family of God, we all know the importance of pray. In fact, in mainstream Christianity today, many would agree with the spiritual discipline of prayer. However, many mainstream Christians today choose to pray to Jesus rather than to God. Where does that belief come from? Is it biblically supported and correct? We will explore the issue of who we pray to and why in this Friday Night Live.”

The handwriting is increasingly clear on the wall: The practice and defense of biblical morality will not be allowed in public or private. Cancel culture is dominant in much of the West, and a big part of it is aimed at biblical values. How should we understand this pressure, which will almost certainly rise to the level of persecution? What should we do spiritually and physically to prepare to be canceled? Let’s consider how to begin.

What is spiritual somnambulism? Is it affecting some young adults in the Church? Could I be a somnambulist? In this study we’ll examine spiritual somnambulism and why young adults in the Church may be particularly susceptible to this insidious problem.

Many things will change dramatically for the better when Christ returns to establish His Kingdom on this earth. Until then, Satan is determined to do everything within his power to deceive and to hurt mankind. For example, Satan has heavily influenced people and destroyed many lives by promoting sexual sins. Sex-related sins are some of the most prominent sins today. Join us on the evening of Jan. 15, 2021, when Mark Winner will show from Scripture that with sex—as with every aspect of life—God gives, and Satan takes away.

We often talk about the goal of being united. But is being united the only goal we need, or does it matter what we are united by? There are many things we could be united by, but are they all good? Right now our world is not united on much. The Church is to be different. In this FNL Chad Messerly will discuss the seven things we are to be united by within the Body of Jesus Christ.

Most young adults in the Church have a sense—perhaps consciously, but often unconsciously—that they must conquer a big obstacle at that stage of their lives. Let’s call it Mount Kataphroneo (for reasons that will be explained).

An article by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat begins with these words: “In the future, it seems, there will be only one ‘ism’—Individualism—and its rule will never end. As for religion, it shall decline; as for marriage, it shall be postponed; as for ideologies, they shall be rejected; as for patriotism, it shall be abandoned; as for strangers, they shall be distrusted. … That’s the implication, at least, of what the polling industry keeps telling us about the rising American generation, the so-called millennials.” What can we do to help protect the Church of God from the effects of this growing societal trend toward a warped and selfish individualism?

Sometimes young people in the Church have questions about God, the Bible, or beliefs and teachings of the Church that are left unasked. Perhaps they don’t want to look stupid for asking a simple question or don’t want to be misunderstood as challenging the teachings of the Church. On other occasions, maybe they just don’t want the answer because they like the one they’ve developed! Asking questions can be hard, but it’s vital for our growth. Answerable questions left unasked are missed opportunities for growth.

A time warp is defined as “an imaginary distortion of space in relation to time whereby people or objects of one period can be moved to another.” Another definition reads, “An imaginary situation in which the past or future becomes the present.” In this Bible study for young adults we are going to transport a Church of God young adult from 1975 to see what he has to say about the Church of God today. Join Dave Myers for Friday Night Live on Friday, Feb. 21, to see what the past can tell us about our future.

God created everything that’s necessary to make a rainbow—sunlight, water droplets, eyesight and perfect atmospheric conditions. Man can never do this. But rainbows have become a sign of our modern times due to the efforts of the gay rights movement to hijack this symbol.

In our lives we draw conclusions and make decisions every day based on what we perceive as reality. But are the things we think and conclude in our own minds actually reality? Satan has promoted deception for millennia, and many have fallen prey to things he desires us to perceive as reality. Satan knows that our minds are where our battles are won or lost. During this FNL, we will discuss the effects that can hinder our spiritual lives because of our own perception of reality. We will also consider practical ways to combat this type of thinking.

How do you feel about hand-me-downs? You know, used clothing someone else has already worn that they pass on to you. Some people, like younger siblings, might resent hand-me-downs. Others pay millions of dollars for a single item—for instance, a jersey worn by a professional athlete during a big game. Ephesians 6:10-20 describes some spiritual attire that Christians are supposed to put on. Have you ever considered that this armor has already been worn? The armor of God is the armor Jesus Christ wore. In this study, we’ll examine how Jesus Christ put on each piece of this spiritual armor to withstand the attacks of Satan the devil. We, too, can successfully resist him if we choose to wear these spiritual hand-me-downs.

Psalm 139:7 asks, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?” The answer, of course, is nowhere. But sometimes it seems as if some might say, “Social media!

And that’s where my real friends are.” Does the Bible govern every aspect of our lives—including the Internet? Does God “like” our online presence?

Most young people who have grown up in the Church face the question of baptism.

The greatest of God’s creations is the human mind, which He tells us is modeled after His own mind. Instead of embedding instincts, God has given man intelligence, learning, emotions, will, character—all reflections of God’s own mind and distinct from anything in the animal world. In addition to all of that, He put in each of us a conscience—a silent voice that Paul says either accuses us or excuses us. What did he mean by that? Is conscience a blessing or a problem? And why is that silent voice sometimes so loud? Join us on Friday Night Live to explore what Scripture says about this uniquely human personal counselor.

“My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men who are set on fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.” What? Were memes and social media, politicians and commentators around back in David’s time too? People have always been snarky, negative and quick to find fault, but it seems that what David described 3,000 years ago in Psalm 57:4 is worse now than ever! The culture of criticism is insidious, eroding basic values of Christianity, and at times it has damaged our relationships as brothers and sisters. This study focuses on resisting this mind-set, because if we don’t counter it, we’ll get caught up in it.

Is what you believe really the truth? If so, how can many modern Christian beliefs be so wrong? Don’t all Christians get their beliefs from the Bible?

For years, the Church has recognized references in Scripture to God protecting His people during the future time of God’s punishment of mankind. Where did this teaching originate? Is there any scriptural precedent to God protecting His people? Does the Bible teach of such a safe place for the Church in the future? If so, where might this place of protection be? Join Doug Horchak as he walks us through the Church’s historical teaching on this subject, coupled with what we can (and cannot) know from the Bible about the “place of safety” for God’s elect during the Tribulation and Day of the Lord.

Jesus Christ’s sacrifice to pay the death penalty for our sins was the ultimate act of reconciliation. But reconciliation is also something we are to practice with one another when and as needed. We often refer to a few verses in Matthew 18 in regards to this concept, but sadly, people frequently find it difficult to practice, giving a variety of excuses. Our love for God and His truth are what will ultimately drive us to seek reconciliation when and where needed.

Jesus stated in Matthew 16:18 that He would build His Church, and that it would never die. Thus there is an unbroken chain of Church members stretching from the day of Pentecost in A.D. 31 to the present time. What traces of that seamless line can we find in history? In this Friday Night Live, Joel Meeker will present an overview of the Church’s understanding of its history through the last nearly 2,000 years.

To clear the confusion and help us to sort through the conflicting opinions offered by our culture, we’ll look to God’s Word for His framework.

Me? Teach my child about God and His way? How am I supposed to do that? While we parents know that God gives us the responsibility to teach our children the truth, actually doing it can be quite a challenge. We can easily feel lost and overwhelmed by this vital task.
A large portion of our young adults in the Church have young children at home and are looking for help in guiding these young lives—which is why the Church of God, a Worldwide Association, recently launched Encourage, Equip & Inspire, a Resource Manual for Parents and gave a free copy to hundreds of families at the 2015 Feast of Tabernacles. Several hundred more have downloaded the digital version.
What exactly is the parents’ manual? What are the principles that underlie it? How am I supposed to use it? What’s in it, and how is it organized? How do I get started? In this session we will answer these questions, as well as discuss the companion EEI website, upcoming additions to the manual, the Facebook community we’d like you to participate in, and picture/video additions. During this session, you will have the opportunity to interact with us via our live online polls.

Several research studies suggest that Young Americans between 18 and 33 years old -- the so-called millennials -- are more stressed than any other segment of today’s population. What are some of the factors that plague so many young adults to the point where they are unable to cope with stress? We all know stress is real and a part of everyone’s life, but it’s just as important to know how to manage it. Where can you find the answers to deal with stress? The Bible reveals how many of God’s people worked under stressful conditions in order to complete the assignments given to them by their Creator. How did they manage their stress and what can we glean from their examples? Join Todd Carey for our next FNL as we explore meaningful ways to manage your stress in a stressed out world!

Why is pride so dangerous and destructive, why does it so subtly slip into our lives, and what can we do to guard against and conquer it? It’s too big of a topic to cover in one study, so this FNL will home in on several core principles, found in the book of Proverbs, that will help us prevail against pride.

Join Andy Burnett Friday evening, June 19 at 8PM EDT (7 Central, 6 Mountain and 5 Pacific), as we address this topic in Scripture.

How do you answer the person who does not believe the Bible is God’s Word? The person who believes the Bible is fiction? The person who rejects the Bible because he or she feels convinced the book was written solely by humans in an ignorant, superstitious, and cruel age? The person who believes the Bible should not be followed because it contains dangerous ideas? The person who feels that the Bible is no different any other ‘holy book’ found in cultures around the world? Join Dave Myers during our next Friday Night Live to equip yourself on how to answer the skeptics and prove that the Bible is not just another book.

This week’s Bible study, presented by Mr. Britton Taylor, will explore our opportunity to form a close bond of friendship with other young adults in the Church.

Is there any evidence that Jesus Christ was a real person? Is the evidence only found in the Bible? In this study we’ll talk about both the biblical and extra-biblical evidence Jesus Christ actually existed, and really is who the Bible says He is. How this information can be helpful as Passover approaches.

What’s your excuse for not doing what you know you should be doing? Revelation 22 has a verse that speaks to the importance of not making excuses. Excuses ultimately lead to sin and sin leads to death. Tonight we will see that excuses prove to be food for the ungodly.

This Bible study will look at some of the challenges you may face while in college, including concepts of humanism, feminism, and Marxism. What’s wrong with these ideas?

Why is this event not at the front of my mind? How can I get motivated to really pray “Thy Kingdom come” when life is going along pretty well for me now?
