Happy New Year! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged – and it’s time. There are a few upcoming events that you should know about. But first – checkout the fun we had tonight…
IN THE WORD THIS WEEK:
Unlock the Truth – Understanding the Bible: This quarter we’re examining healthy Bible study habits. We’re looking into the validity of Scripture, and learning the benefits and blessings of making it a part of our daily lives. This past Sunday we studied the Inspiration of the Bible.
Wednesday Youth Group: We’re continuing our study of the Holy Spirit. In the series, Amplitude, we’re seeing how the best life is the Spirit-filled life. Tonight we saw what the Bible has to say about the lost, carnal Christians, and Spirit-filled Christians.
For Discussion:
- In general, are the students at your school most likely lost, carnal, or Spirit-filled Christians?
- Why is it easy for some Christians to be carnal rather than Spirit-filled?
- Which of these categories most accurately describes you?

2/13-15 Winter Retreat: Unfrozen – Warmed by God’s Love: We live in a world that can be cold and harsh at times. It’s only natural for us to harden our hearts, but that’s not what God wants for us.
