Broadway Church of Christ Sermon Series

In this College Sunday sermon, Jeremy Smith, the college minister at Broadway Church of Christ, addresses the critical issue of young adults leaving the church. He cites a statistic that 67% of young adults raised in the church will no longer attend by their mid-twenties. Smith introduces the concept of spiritual self-efficacy, which is the confidence in one's ability to engage in spiritual practices. He argues that developing this confidence is key to helping young people maintain their faith.

Smith draws from Hebrews 4, emphasizing the invitation to approach God's throne of grace with confidence. He acknowledges the challenges college students face, with their lives in constant flux, making it difficult to feel confident in approaching God. To combat this, Smith suggests two main approaches: modeling faith practices and creating safe spaces for young people to experience and practice their faith. He praises Broadway Church for its inclusivity in allowing young people to participate in worship services, stating that this hands-on experience helps develop their spiritual self-efficacy.
