Normal
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
We've been tackling the topic of evangelism lately. Sometimes, it can be a scary word. I think the more we look at evangelism according to Jesus, the easier it gets. And the more normal it seems. Because for Jesus, it was all about relationships! In looking at John 1:14, we developed ... Continue ReadingPosted in Youth Blog | 7 Comments »

Out of the Backseat
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
We don’t like to think about the details of the Cross of Christ, much less see a depiction of it. But as Christians, we’re called to be Cross-focused. Not just on a piece of wood. But on a historical event. That event is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ - God ... Continue ReadingPosted in Youth Blog | 10 Comments »
