^ DNOW 2023 | March 17-19 | Higher Love

Our annual DNOW weekend is coming up soon. The 1980s brought us some of the most amazing love songs and romantic movie scenes the world has ever known, but several decades later we still don’t have a full grasp on what exactly we mean when we talk about love. So, what exactly is love? We’ll look at the words of Jesus and his closest followers to discover that love is not something we should have to earn, or something only meant for a few. Instead, we are free to love others and we are free to be loved.

Dates: Friday, March 17 – Sunday, March 19

Cost: $50 through March 1. $60 after March 1.

Who: Youth in grades 6-12

When Jesus was on earth, he wasn’t exactly known for telling people what they wanted to hear. Jesus’ message was unlike any message people had ever heard before. He didn’t give shallow motivational speeches or feel-good sermons. He didn’t recycle the same messages other religious leaders were teaching. He flipped people’s ideas about God, the world, and themselves completely upside down — usually in uncomfortable ways. And that’s always how God’s words have worked! In this four-week series, we’ll compare Jesus’ words in the Gospels with the words of the Old Testament prophets to see how God’s words have always challenged our understanding of what’s wrong or right, good or bad, and just or unjust. We’ll talk about how, both then and now, God flips our assumptions about who God values, our definition of righteousness, our understanding of what’s good enough, and our definition of justice.
