Youth Update 7-27-13

It's been about a month since I last wrote a new letter. Youth Group is still going great. Over the summer we still have quite a few kids attending. We recently received and installed a new video projector and screen.

A few of the Youth are putting on a leadership class, they are getting their feet wet in ministry. This is a project that has been theirs from start to finish. I believe this will be something that grows over the years. Each years seniors investing in the upcoming classes.
 
 17Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Rom 10:17

 
This is the theme / verse that they chose to use for their leadership nights. I personally think its a good reminder for us all.
 
 
Many times we write off our Christianity as a list of actions that people can see. That you may be the only Jesus people see, so act appropriately. Jesus did not act appropriately by the religious standards of His time. Yet we continually find ways to simplify our Christianity. We must be seed planters using the Word of God. Through the Bible itself and or through the Leading of the Holy Spirit we must open our mouths. 

The preceding verses tell us-

13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved
14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” 
 
I have been both encouraged and challenged as I read and pray through these verses. I pray for our church- for His Church.
 
God use us in a mighty way. Just as you gave Moses to words to speak, give us the words to speak. Your word will not return void. God provide open doors, opportunities to talk about You and your son Jesus who died for me. Let us never forget the sacrifice, the life saving gift. Give us an desperation for people and a fire for You.
 
 

We love our Church-  David & Krista, kash and Kody.
