As the Student Ministries Pastor, each week I talk to students and it seems that the majority of the time is spent refuting lies they’ve been told about themselves. I urge them to spend time in God’s Word EVERY DAY…not out of obligation, but out of necessity. We have to fight to listen to truth. If you aren’t listening to the truth, what you listen to becomes the other things that you hear. You know as well as I do, what we hear says, “You have to be more or do more.”

The biblical definition of hope is “the joyful anticipation of good.” Our joy comes from knowing that God alone is good and our role is simply to reflect God’s brilliant goodness. The past year’s growth in our church, this coming year’s move and every moment in between is not because of our inherent goodness or efforts, it’s a move that God is doing that we simply have the opportunity to call attention to.

Please be praying for the youth while we are away at camps this month. We trust that these kids will see God in a way they never have before.

And join us this Sunday as we continue in our series, Oh! The Places We’ll Go. Last week we talked about Gideon and how God can use every one of us to do incredible things (if you missed it, listen to it here). This week, we are looking at “the places we’ll go” from a completely different perspective – you don’t want to miss it!

See you Sunday,
God bless!

P.S. We are having an Ice Cream Social after 6p this week. I’ll be there, hope you will too!
