When I sit across from a student, whether we are out for coffee, lunch, or in the counseling room, I often will hear the words “I just feel alone.”Many middle school and high school students are feeling deep loneliness. They don’t feel like they are known or seen. They crave community but aren’t sure how to get it. Why is it that our teens are more lonely than ever?

You probably saw over a hundred people on your drive to work (or the grocery store) this morning—people in their cars, people on the sidewalk, people handing you a morning latte through the drive-through window. And every one of those people should be in a local church. Why? Here are 5 reasons. People need a right relationship with God. And God is “not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them.

Psalm 130:5-7 says:“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,    and in his word I hope;my soul waits for the Lord    more than watchmen for the morning,    more than watchmen for the morning. O Israel, hope in the Lord!    For with the Lord there is steadfast love,    and with him is plentiful redemption.”On a sunny morning, not long ago, I stepped out for a walk. When I turned east towards the sunrise, I remember thinking, “The morning always comes.” I had just read Psalm 130, “. . .

Simply put, REACH is our annual church spotlight on the nations. We look at God’s plan for the nations and our role in that plan, in particular how we might help relieve global gospel poverty. For two Sundays every fall, we hear messages from the Bible about God’s global heart, usually with a guest speaker from one of our missions partnerships. We also hear from our visiting missionaries during morning services, in adult Sunday classes, and in small groups throughout the week.
