IN THE WORD THIS WEEK:
Sunday School: This past week we examined Christ’s power over demons from Mark 5. We closed our time with a discussion on spiritual warfare.
Wednesday Youth Group: This evening we took a look at how Christ’s victory over sin and death gives us power and victory for life each day.
For Follow-Up:
- What are some of the strategies we discussed to help us find victory over sin and temptation?
- How does Christ’s victory while He lived here on earth translate to power and victory for living our lives?

Once again, the Randolphs’ and their Growth Group did a fantastic job hosting this year’s Super Bowl Outreach Party. I was encouraged both by the attendance as well as the number of guests. Michael Anderson, Luke Griffey, and Morgan Wade clearly shared why Jesus is important to them. All of the students heard the Gospel and had a chance to respond. Please pray for the spiritual seeds that were planted, and for students as they follow-up with their friends. You can see more pictures here.
