Representin' tonight

ministry

Well I have prepared and prepared and prepared and now it is up to God to speak through me.  

I feel really good about this message and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do tonight! This is the first time in years I have preached from my own message and not one that was written out for me!

I will blog tonight or tomorrow about how it went

Thanks to you that have been praying for me!

The message is called Everybody Hurts and it is dealing with the fear of fruit salad and how it relates to homogenized milk. Just kidding it deals with hurt!

Awesome Staff Team

ministry Truth Student Ministry

We had our weekly Truth Staff meeting today.  It was really cool today because we talked about planning for the summer. But I have to say my favorite part was when I was telling them what I wanted to do during my sermon.  To build suspense I won’t say what it is. But lets just say the preparation involves some adult volunteers, woodworking, tables, pens, candles, black fabric. When I said my idea they were pumped up and immediately started delegating the different jobs to people and said don’t worry about it, we’ll take care of all that stuff. Did I mention woodworking? They are going to build something for me (nothing major, but still).

I just think it awesome to see them jump up and before I could even ask if they would help, they just took it and ran with it! They also ran a lot further than I would have ran with it. That’s the benefit of a team! Thanks guys!

Now that I’ve made it sound way more special than it is come Wednesday night and check it out!

God has all understanding and knowledge

Quiet Time Thoughts

Read this in my quiet time today.

Proverbs 2

It was just cool because I’m not gonna lie, I am stressed.  I am preaching this Wednesday for the first time @ Truth.  I also have had to communicate to the band, vocalist, tech team, creative team, etc about everything going on this Wednesday.  So this morning I prayed that I wouldn’t stress and that God would give me knowledge of what to say to the hurting students.  Then in quiet time the Bible said:

1 My son, if you accept my words 

and store up my commands within you,

2 turning your ear to wisdom

and applying your heart to understanding,

3 and if you call out for insight

and cry aloud for understanding,

4 and if you look for it as for silver

and search for it as for hidden treasure,

5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD

and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD gives wisdom,

and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
