Inhabit

This past weekend I was able to speak for a dnow in Tylertown, MS. The theme was inhabit. The word Inhabit means to live in or occupy. When you thank about our spiritual lives and the disciplines that we have such as reading our bibles and having a prayer time. Most if honest would say that sometime it seems to be like a chore to do everyday.
We are often told to develop habits to read our bibles. When you thank about a habit it seems a little shallow to me. Habits are formed from continuing to do something. Habits are not usually something that we necessarily desire to do everyday they are simple things we do and not even thank and dwell on them.
So what we must learn to do is let the Lord Inhabit our lives where He takes over every part of our beings, and then we will desire, yearn His word like we do food for our bodies. i hope this is helpful for you it sure was for me.

2011

Hey guys I took this shot yesterday when me and Dana went out to play in the snow. It made me thank of how awesome our creator is. The snow is so beautiful and reminds me of what Christ did to us and our sin. Just like David talked about in Psalms about how God made him whiter than snow. As I thought on that it reminded me of what a privilege we have as youth workers. We have been given the opportunity to share and teach Christ to students that walk in the Refuge. I pray that many will come in the doors and that we will have even more opportunities this year to share and teach Christ to students.

Looking forward to a great year enjoy the snow and be safe.

Jan. Sermon Series Sequence

Our January Sermon Series is a series brought to us by Student Life. Peter learned the key to discipleship – everything points to the cross. SEQUENCE walks teenagers through 3 life-changing steps that Jesus used to define His followers. Are your students stuck in worldly patterns or are they lining up with God’s movement?

Sequence

Following Christ in Radical Surrender

What does it mean to be a Christ-follower?

Lesson 1: 
The first lesson asks students to identify Christ and then introduces His steps for discipleship – deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me.

Lesson 2: 
The second lesson begins examining a holy pattern of living. Jesus’ humble submission to God’s will is the perfect example of denying self.

Lesson 3:
The third lesson explores the significance of Jesus’ crucifixion. The cross is now also a public declaration of a person’s alignment with Christ and opposition to the world.

Lesson 4: 
The final lesson investigates the risen Redeemer’s call to follow Him. Regardless of what has happened in someone's life, the next step will always be to focus on following Christ.
