2019 LCMS Youth Gathering
Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to learn more about Jesus Christ, the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity. The next Gathering will be held on July 11-15, 2019 in Minneapolis, MN.
We all know the one go-to answer to most questions asked in our Sunday School, “Jesus.” He is indeed the center of our Christian faith. When we live in a world where our lives are constantly being pulled in a million different directions social media, school, sports, family, friends, music…the list goes on… we can start to view Jesus as an afterthought.
This gathering dove into three aspects of our life in Christ: From HIM, Through HIM and To HIM.
The youth heard the reality of the peace that is found in the Gospel. The fact that all things are from HIM. The truth that we do not have to search for Christ because he has found us. We do not earn God’s favor because he has won it on the Cross. (John 1, 2 Cor. 1:20, Colossians 1:16-18)
The youth were empowered to live through HIM. To see that their life does not have to be a constant battle for approval or acceptance but that they can live from the grace that is given to them in Christ. (Phil 4:11-13, Romans 12:1-2)
