The WORD

Tres did an outstanding job spreading the WORD of God on Wednesday night. Even though he was the State Bible Teaching winner all 4 times he competed this was totally a different experience for him. This was teaching his peers on their level. It wasn't a cute bible story turned into a sermon, it was truly a message from the Lord.

He taught on Love, Accept, and Forgive. This seems to be a theme: like father like son. Also our pastor has used this title in some of his messages. All of them have had a different take.

Love - At the Last Supper...Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. He looked each one of them in the face and told them that He loved them. The very one that betrayed Him, the very one that denied him...He told them that He loved them. We get mad, end friendships, leave the church, etc. because someone hurts or feelings or says something bad about us. What kind of love are we showing? Do we show the love of Jesus to others?

Accept - Before we become a born again Christian...we must first accept Jesus into our hearts as our Lord and Savior. Before we can have a friendship or a relationship with someone...we must first accept them. Jesus accepts everyone! Who do you accept?

Forgive - Jesus is in the forgiving business. He gave His life so that we might have life eternally. He forgave us of our sins. Are you willing to forgive? We must forgive those that hurt us! We must forgive those that persecute us!

He closed with everyone forming a circle around the entire Youth Sanctuary. As we prayed one for another the power of God moved on many hearts!

I am so very proud of Tres! All praise and glory be to God!
