When: Wednesdays, 9:00-10:15 p.m.
Where: The Main Worship Center at Sevier Heights
The Walk is a college and young adult worship gathering at Sevier Heights Baptist Church.
Our Goal: To change the way you view church.
Expectations. We all have them. What’s your expectation for church? The Walk wants to replace that expectation with an experience that defines the church as it was meant to be: A reflection of the purpose and personality of Jesus Christ. Plainly put, The Walk wants to change the way you view church. Live music, influential teaching, and free food all combine to redefine your definition of church. Be a part of the change. Be a part of what the church is meant to be.

“You WHAT last weekend? Wow. Come here, get on your knees right now. I’m
going to save you. Right here, in line at the Subway. It doesn’t matter
that you don’t know me. Get down here.” -That Guy
“So, I noticed some sketchy tweets from you all: ‘Going to hang out
downtown.’ At 9:30 p.m.? I can just guess what you’re doing.” -That Guy
“I have Bible Study Sunday through Friday at 5:30. I lead them all myself.
I just know a lot about the Lord. My old Sunday School teacher never
misses!” -That Guy
Nobody wants to be “That Guy”. But, you still want to reflect Jesus.
Where’s the balance? Find out March 13 and 20 at The Walk.
I’m on the verge of graduating and I constantly get asked, “What’s next?” Many of us even face the constant question, “So, when do you plan to get married?”
What? Seriously? At our age, lots of students are looking for love, in love, or avoiding love. But, how did Paul view love?
Paul prayed for the Ephesians (he could have prayed anything), but look at what he said in Ephesians 3: 17-19:
“...so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
He prays they’ll understand the love of the Father, but what does that love look like?
True love sacrifices itself.
Look at these verses: John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave. . .” // John 15:13: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” // 1 John 3:16: “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.”
The greatest commandments are to love God and to love others.
Love is obviously much more than just an ooey gooey feeling, it requires we give ourselves for the sake of others. What does that look like in my life and in your life?
If someone were to ask, “How do you know that Kayla (fill in your name) is a follower of Christ?”, would the response be, “Well I know she loves Jesus because she goes to church”, or, “I know because she doesn’t smoke, drink, go to parties, have sex etc”?
So often, as Christians, we are defined by what we do not do. Look at John 13:35: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
What if people began to describe us by our sacrificial love for one another?
What would have to change in my life and your life for that to happen?
Just as Paul prayed for the Ephesians, I pray we’ll understand more and more this love that surpasses all understanding, that sacrifices everything. By this, others will know we are followers of Jesus and be drawn to Him.
-Kayla (The Other Intern)
How will I be remembered? When I’m gone, I hope my life will reflect these three statements:
I loved Jesus.
I remembered my friends.
I took risks.
I can love and seek Jesus comfortably, or I can take a risk that flies in the face of convenience and comfort. I have friends who need Jesus, but I’ve been too selfish to share anything with them.
I should be able to say my love for Jesus allows me to remember my friends. Instead, I come up short. Introducing Jesus is the best gift I can give to anyone, yet sometimes, it’s the hardest one to offer. I’m too worried about what somebody might say to me or think about me. If I love Jesus and remember my friends - taking a risk of faith should come naturally. Eternity is too long not to take risks.
John 3:17
“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”
Mark 16:15
“Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.”
-Kyle (The Intern)
“Maybe one day we’ll see the greatest setbacks in our lives were actually the greatest setups to see God’s glory in places we didn’t even know to look.”
I’ve had setbacks, you’ve had setbacks, and chances are more setbacks will come.
I was dead set on accomplishing a few things for my life that didn’t happen - an unexpected circumstance changed things. I can look back now and say what I saw then as a setback was really God ensuring I saw Him in ways I hadn’t seen Him before. Chances are, without my greatest setback, I wouldn’t even be writing this right now. I thought it was about me and what I could do, but in reality, it was never been about me.
Without my setbacks I wouldn’t be where I am today and I’m thankful for each one God put in my path. Am I where I want to be or where Jesus commands me to be? No, but I’m trying. I can look at my setbacks and be angry, or I can ask myself, ‘How is God in this situation?’
Romans 8:28
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him…”
