As most of you know we had an amazing service last night. Bro. TJ and Bro. Jake really allowed God to use them and challenge us to reach out more. We have to be used as God’s arm to reach. We were asked to commit to bring one person in the next month to youth service and I believe every one of us will be able to complete the challenge.
As well all start to bring in guests we need to be prepared to recieve them. I would like to challenge everyone to start reading your bibles more often, find and study search for truth manuals and be ready to answer the questions your friends will have. We can not leave the bible studies and general questions to our platform ministry.
As Bro. J. spoke of last week and me and TJ in our first podcast, God will not put more on you then you can handle. God will also not give us more people then we can support. The bible refers to new converts as children and as children they need to be taken care of and support until they can handle the meat of the word and stand on their own. Our purpose as saints of God is to provide the support system and to be ready to answer and support these new converts.
The challenge that Bro. TJ put forth was a call to not just bring them but retain them. It is awesome if we have a youth service with 100 new converts but what if we don’t have the resouces to provide them with what they need. It would kill me to know God put these people in our church for a reason and because we were not prepared we could not help them.
As a youth group let us grow together in wisdom and knowledge of the scriptures and come to church ready to recieve our blessing and ready for God to use us!
You guys did so awesome! Those messages were so good! =) Good Job!
