After last Tuesday, all I can say is WOW! JESUS DID HIS THING! I am so proud of our team of leaders, students, and interns! We had over 300 student come out for SUPERCR3W from America’s Best Dance Crew, but Jesus kept them! We had performances by Nathan Jones, Stephanie Hazel and United Worship was amazing! Students were literally praising God! (you can hear it on the podcast) BUT the best news is we had 59 first time guests and 69 first time salvation’s! WOW. We have not arrived, but are excited for what GOD is going to do in 2010!

What a POWERFUL night! Feel free to listen to the podcast to hear what was preached, but the most important thing we left with is purity through the Holy Spirit. We gave out a challenge to purity and took their word for it. Here is what we gave out.

Colossians 2:20 You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as,  21 “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”? 22 Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.  23 These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.

I preached a fun message last week regarding the Fruits of the Spirit and Galatians 6. It was actually the second time I didn’t preach with notes but allowed God and the scripture to move me. It was a little different but I am constantly challenging myself to prepare the messenger and not the message.

This sermon is about being gentle and humble when you lead someone to Christ and if you are someone that is NOT growing in the things of God, then get out. Either you grow or GO! Listen to this message below!

I just want to say we had an amazing night last Tuesday at United Student Ministries! We had a ton of first time guest, we had returning guests and excitement! BUT most importantly we had an powerful result in the altars! I cannot wait till next Tuesday and see students continually make a Stand! This message below is about staying saved and stay standing in your faith in Jesus Christ!

Last night was a great night! Preached a message with the help from a counselor in regards to Galatians 3 and anxiety. Here is a few excerpts from my notes:

Galatians 2:3-5 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

How will you be made perfect? What a powerful statement! Pastor Tom talked about success this past weekend, and stated that success is not defined by what you do, or even what you have achieved, GOD defines success, God defines Perfection! Stop worrying about becoming perfect, stop worrying about little stuff that God has already taken care of!

We KNOW the Bible and we KNOW about God but we really don’t BELIEVE!  If we really TRUSTED God we would then live a worry-free and anxiety free lifestyle! I am guilty of this as well!

Here is a powerful statement that the counselor said, “In therapy we can focus cognitively by examining thoughts that go with the anxiety and try to come up with corrective thoughts in place of the irrational ones.”WOW, It is all in the MIND. This is $200 by the hour advice your youth pastor is giving you! We can blame the devil all we want but we must first address the way we think!

In 2 Kings 7:3-20 is a powerful story about lepers, which really defines the life that we are called to live. As yourself this, “Why sit here till we die?” Why worry about everything? Why worry about death? Why worry and stress over things you cannot control or even the small things you think control YOU.
Bottom line: Train your mind: Memorize and recite the following regularly when they are anxious:

“God is who He says He is; God does what He says He will do; I am who God says that I am; I can do all things through Christ; God’s Word is alive and active in me.”(Joyce Meyer)
