Overall it was a good night. Over forty students attended with an additional six adults. That is the most we have had so far this year. We had over 30 students hanging out in the Multi-purpose room an hour before the night was to begin. Kelsey Abbott's testimony was a homerun. I was really impressed with her confidence and message. I introduced her as Kelsey Kleiss. . .whoops! I was quickly corrected and it was a good laugh. The band (Travis & Ben) did a great job leading music. The songs and sound were good. I hope everyone took the opportunity to worship.
The lesson was okay. I feel like it could have been better, but it was certainly worth hearing. I think the students were mostly engaged. We talked about the third goal for this year. . .We will share leadership. The big idea is that all of us are better than one of us. I stressed that no Christian is meant to live out their faith alone. God intended for us to walk in our faith with other believers. I challenged the students to have relationships with three kinds of believers. First they need to have healthy relationships with believers who are where they are. Second, they need to have relationships with believers who are where they want to be. Finally they need to have healthy relationship with believers who are where they used to be. If we surround ourselves with Christians who support us where we are and others who are calling where we should be going and if we are helping other believers grow as we have grown, we will not be easily defeated.
I would love to read your thoughts. Leave a post!
