Youth Rally

Well I haven't been posting alot lately and had a few comments on it. 
But I missed a few events that I could have posted on. So I'd like to play catch up.
Two friday nights ago (yes its been that long since i've posted beyond Wednesday Night Notes) we had a Youth Rally. Infinite Reality rattled the windows off the church walls and led us in Praise and Worship. After that, James led in a message about words we let come from our mouths and how they can bring death or life (Proverbs 18:21;15:4). So at the end of the day do we let these words define us?  The answer is; they shouldn't but they do distroy and tear down.

(We asked students to write down demeaning words that have been used against them)

But one word that conquers all is LOVE, and one man that conquered all is Christ.
There's a hurting world out there that's looking for love. This same world is tearing people down with judgemental glances and whispers, but since we are to follow in the foot steps of Jesus Christ we will have to learn to love like He did and learn to love unconditionally.


Romans 8:35-39

³⁵ Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? ³⁶ (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) ³⁷ No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

 ³⁸ And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. ³⁹ No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So if Love conquers all, then all we need is Christ and His love that is given freely. Yes it costs a high price; a price that was paid on the cross, but it is available to all.


Romans 5:8
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.


The Invitation was led into by this video; it was moving and yet hard to imagine to have to make that choice.

The same choice is given to us:
Will we give our lives to Him in return; lives that are willing to bring honor and glory to Him, lives that will further the Kingdom of God?
