Great night! I considered Wednesday night our first "real" Youth Service. It was the kick off of the Game On Series and the first Wednesday night of Homecoming Month. Really proud of the students for the way they dressed up in their school spirit. We had cheerleaders, face-paint, body paint, jerseys, and my personal favorite was Robin, who is home schooled, came wearing a cardboard cut out of her house. Also, I was super excited about how the students engaged in worship. Great foundational night, I feel like it will only get better from here. I am stoked about what God is doing and grateful that He called us here.
Here are some things we talked about:
1 Samuel 14 tells the story of two different people that made two different choices. Saul chose to stay on the bench and Jonathan chose to "get in the game."
Choosing to stay on the bench in your Christian walk is choosing to let your friends that are far from God, spend eternity separated from God.
There are some things that you needs to know about "getting in the game"
Know whose team you are on - Jonathan stepped out for God and God stepped up for him
Do not play alone - Jonathan took his armor bearer with him. God did not wire us to live life solo.
You can not blend in - News flash: You can not be a camouflage Christian and impact the world.
You have to be willing to change your position - You can not have the safety of the bench and play in the game - you are going to have to get hit.
Upcoming events:
Next Wednesday night we continue with our Game On series and it is Wacky Tacky night.
