How Wide, Long, High, and Deep!

This was the third week that the Xtreme Disciples have been studying Ephesians 3:16-19. This week we tried to wrap our minds around the love of Christ Jesus. We attempted to compare it to a parent, but in all of our comparisons we found that they didn't quite measure up. Maybe this is why Paul says that it surpasses understanding. Even though we may not be able to picture the dimensions of God's love, we still can try to react to it appropriately. We can strive to love Him more and more every day. Also we can love those around us. I think that this fits into the vision that our church has been working on. Perhaps, when His love overpours in our hearts we are able to bring others into a vital relationship with Jesus Christ.
Remember, there will be no youth group on November 23. On December 10, 2008, we will be volunteering at Jingle Bell Express. We will meet up at the church at 6:00PM. Please mark this on your calendars and bring your friends! What a great way to show God's love to others.
Here's some Soccer-Square!

Soccer-Square No!!!!!!

If you missed the last two weeks at Xtreme Disciples, we have been reading and discussing Ephesians 3:16-19. This week we discussed, "What does it mean to be rooted and established in love?" With so many things going on in our life, school, tons of homework, and friends, what do we truely root ourselves in? What gives us nourishment? Jesus said, "No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." This week... let's be people who live our lives in Christ, so that others can see Him in us!

Crop Walk Sunday

It was a day today. One of those, "If anything can go wrong...it will go wrong" days. What are the odds that when you lend out your jumper cables, the next time that you try to start the car, you need them. The Xtreme Disciples were on our way to the Crop Walk, when we turned the key and heard nothing. So when the heroic Jeremy Wood stepped forward with his cables it seemed like a life saver. Red...Black...Positive...Negative. Negative...Schmegative! And the next thing we see is smoke. I had placed the cables on the wrong charge. The black rubber cables literally melted in front of us. A successful jump and then another jump at Burger King and we were on our way to the Crop Walk. It was a beautiful day...and I can't tell you how proud I am of the four youth that walked the 5k. We raised $200 dollars to fight against hunger. That is enough to provide two families with 100 chickens for eggs, protein, and sales. And in the end, God provided for us at every turn. Tonight at youth we looked at the first part of Ephesians 3:16-19. If there is any day that I felt that God used his abundance of power to strengthen my inner being...it was today. He truely is an awesome God.
