This week at MYF....Junior High: Here are three of the five purposes we have studied so far... (1) created to worship God, (2) created to be part of God's family, and (3) created to be like Jesus. Number 3 happens by commiting ourselves to God's ways, changing the way we think, developing Christ-like character, and reading the Bible. We do the possible and then God does the impossible in our lives. "For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him," -Philippians 2:13
High School: We talked about being people who are living in God's Kingdom...right now. When we are born-again (John 3:3); when we believe, trust and accept the gift of salvation through Jesus then we become dwellers of God's Kingdom. We have a NEW citizenship, NEW identity, NEW family, NEW allegiance, NEW King, NEW food (Bible), NEW constitution and bill of rights, NEW relationship with the Creator, NEW perspective on life, NEW hope in the future, NEW record, NEW purpose.
Do you realize you are living in this Kingdom? Believe it! Live it!
