Behold the lamb of God

Hey there everyone, I hope things are going well for you today, I know for me I am extremely busy with lots of awesome events for this summer. So please keep it tuned to right here for all the dates for the summer.

Lets talk a little bit about last night. God showed up and moved in our students. We had students decide to follow Christ for the first time, we also had students decide that they are going to point to Jesus instead of other things in their lives. It was a great night last night where students got to experience Christ in a real and tangible way.

We talked about John 1 and how John the baptist, told 2 of his disciples "Behold the lamb of God" and we talked about how Jesus fulfilled that role.

Then after we talked about what the lamb was in the old testament, and how are lives need to point to Jesus. After that we took communion, it was really fun to teach students about communion and participate with them.

Keep praying for our students and our leaders, our leaders are really busy and tired, they have put in countless hours with students. Please lift hem up in your prayers this week!

Hope to see you Sunday for the Baptism and Cook out!

Hey there everyone! I hope your week is stinking awesome. I know my week is full and crazy but still excited for Wednesday night!

So last night we had a 6th grade parents meeting, and I hope that they had a great time, and also we want to welcome them to the blogspot, so for those new 6th grade parents reading this for the first time, Welcome, if I could have people clapping on here for you I would but I am not that much of a geek :)

So this coming Wednesday night we are going to be continuing in our series called Practical atheist, meaning where we say we are a Christian but yet live like there is no God. The first week we talked about Prayer, and how we need to start a conversation with God! Last week we broke down what it means to follow Christ and what it means to be an atheist. This week we are going to be talking about telling people your story. I am so excited for this week because we get the chance to tell stories about Jesus working in lives, its going to be awesome!

I hope you can come this wednesday night to youth group! It starts at 6:30 and goes till 8:30!

This Video explains so well what we are talking about in this series!

Special Friday Post

Hey there everyone, sorry I didn't get to update yesterday my day was full of a bunch of different things going on! So I am updating now while I am working on some emails.

So Wednesday night was an awesome night, we broke down what it meant to live a life as a Christ follower, and then what it meant to live a life as an atheist. We wrote them down on a white board and talked about how when we live our lives demanding an explanation. Meaning, if someone was to look at your life would they have to ask why you did certain things because they just don't make sense to people because you are living a life following after Jesus or would they not have to ask because you are living just like everyone else.

We finished up the message portion with a passage from Matthew 13 where a man finds a treasure in a field and he goes back home and gives everything away to get that field, I asked this question to the students. Is God a nice thought in your head or is He the treasure that you are seeking?

We had a time of prayer at the end of the service where student could pray with leaders and a time where they could get a lone with God! It was a pretty powerful night.

I hope you guys have a great weekend, I know I will, I am playing a golf scramble with the Edlunds and we are going to dominate this coming Saturday morning!

Talk with you all Later!
