Wednesday nights just keep getting better! You could sense something special tonight. It was the last night of the Game On Series and Formal night. There were some decked out students in the house tonight. From prom dresses to tuxes, everyone looked really sharp tonight. I was so proud of the students that answered the call to go deeper tonight. I was blown away by their willingness to "go all in" in every spiritual aspect of their lives.
Here are some things we talked about:
Too many times we sit at the table of life and are so unsure about the "hand that was dealt us" that we hold pieces of our lives back. We hold parts of our past, parts of our callings, parts of our talents, all because we do not trust our "hand." In Matthew 26:6 we find the story of a woman that went "all in" with her life.
They were hanging out at Simon "The Leper's" house. Though Simon no longer had Leprosy he still had the label. Be careful not to find your identity in the label of our past. You do not have to be who others say you are.
This woman did not let what others thought of her or said about her stand in her way. She knew who Jesus was and what He had done in her life and did not let anything stand in her way.
She not only let go of her past, she broke it. There was no way of piecing that box back together or putting that perfume back in. Sometimes letting go is not enough.
Upcoming Events:
Youth Convention is November 21-22 at Christ Chapel in Macon, GA. Cost is $60 and that covers registration, gas, hotel, and two meals. You need money for Saturday lunch, snacks, and shopping.
Next week we begin a new series call "Mixed Signals" and it will run throughout November. Should be interesting.
