Youth, 6-12 grade, tonight, OCT 23,2007 WE ARE GATHERING to celebrate who God is and everything that he has done in us, through us, to us as a community. Again we do this every 4 wednesday and today is that day! We plan to eat together at 6:30 so come hungry, then worship, and reflect together. Come hungry, and come expecting. God is so good and we want to celebrate and share in Him together. Look forward to seeing all of you tonight!
Can you remember who it was in your life? I remember, it was this goofy, little, quirky, college-student named charlie. You know what he did, he came and took me out to lunch once a month, he showed up at my basketball games every once in awhile, he spent intentional time with me asking me questions about my life and also sharing with me about his. You know what was at the core of his, it was the man Jesus. Everything this guy did reflected Him, well of course not everything, but through my lenses this goofy, hilarious guy reflected everything I wanted to become, a passionate follower of Jesus. You know I don’t know who I would be without CHARLIE in my life, but I can tell you this I look back at what was at stake for me at 15,16,17, and 18 years old and I can’t tell you how thankful I am to God for sending me Charlie. Charlie knew what it meant to be a disciple of Jesus and because of it He called me and my high school friends to that life and that changed everything in me. This story isn’t intend to just be cute and sweet, it is intended to probe the question. Who would you be without______. I think as believers we all have someone to put in that blank. What I want to propose to you, The Bridgeway Church Body, do you want to BE in that blank. I know I have a bunch of Jr. High and High Schoolers who long to have someone to put in that blank. Obviously, Jesus is the true blank filler, hehe; however I Know that relationships are the car that drive young/all people to Jesus. I long to bridge that gap with ones who have hearts to see the next generation rise up as Followers of Jesus, taking His Kingdom with them wherever they go. If you long to impact and point young people to Jesus, call me, find me, email me and we can begin that process ASAP!
