YLC Taco Tuesdays


Young Life College: TACO TUESDAY—MORE THAN A SUMMER BIBLE STUDY!

Jesus said, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” (John 5:17)

Every day, every moment, all around us and in us, God is at his work—redeeming, restoring, transforming and loving.

According to the gospel, we can do no less. To be in relationship with Jesus means to also be on mission with him: “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Corinthians 5:14-14, emphasis added)

As the area director for Young Life, I can tell you that we have as our goal to be faithfully and continually on gospel mission to adolescents in Northwest Arkansas, and that includes reaching for the lives of college students and developing them to be missional and fruitful in their relationships with Jesus.

This is what Taco Tuesday is all about. Yes, it’s about a taco bar and community, but it’s also about helping college students and recent graduates understand their identity as children of God and citizens in his kingdom. The college years are incredibly formative for adolescents in setting the trajectory of their lives, and we want to honor God by helping our students determine this trajectory by connecting their story to God’s story!

Led by Gregg Stutts, Executive Pastor at The Church at Arkansas, the remaining weeks topics are:

June 5 Apologetics 101
June 12 The Holy Spirit: who He is and what He does
June 19 Spiritual Warfare
July 3 Heaven: what’s it really like?
July 10 The Mystery of Marriage: the secrets to a thrilling relationship
July 17 Your Questions

If you are in Fayetteville, even if only a week, feel free to drop in! Tuesday nights, 6:00-7:30 at 621 N. Razorback Rd. (across from Reid Hall).
