I’m so thankful for the opportunity to lead a discussion group at our Thursday Night Talks with CSUEB Koinonia. The group I lead that gathers for our Jesus 101 Bible studies is about 4 to 8 people. When I initially met the students who now attend our Bible studies, I felt hesitant that they would be interested in God because I thought they would be too preoccupied with their studies and college life. But every week I’m awed to hear the students' opinions on the meaning of life, and their thoughts on how applicable biblical truths are to their lives. I am so amazed at how God leads the students to realize some fundamental truths of Christianity through Jesus 101.
I’ve realized that each student who walks through the doors of University Union 307 is a soul looking for something. Though on the outside these students seem youthful and happy in their own way, in their more vulnerable moments they acknowledge that there’s something missing in their lives and they don’t know what to do about it. I have a great privilege to help them to find out about Jesus and how he is the answer to the thirst in our souls, in hopes that they would experience the same fulfilling relationship with Jesus that has given me new life.
