Recap from May 17th MYF meeting:

Junior High--Rescued from an Ordinary Life, part 2
We talked about the reasons that Jesus came to earth...

1. To restore us to God; this is all about a relationship with God through Jesus, not a religion.

2. To reveal God's character; if you ever wonder what God is like....just look at Jesus and you will see.

3. To rescue us from an ordinary life.

When we get rescued from our life of sin, then we get God's personal presence, God's promise of wisdom (which is insight into everyday living) and God's power to use us.

High School--4 Rules of Biblical Communication (Ephesians 4:25-32)

1. Be Honest
We put off lying and falsehood and put on speaking the truth.

2. Keep Current
Don't hold stuff in, it only leads to bitterness and gives the devil a foothold in your life.

3. Attack the Problem, Not the Person
Put off words that tear down and attack the person. Put on words that build up and attack the problem.

4. Act, Don't React
We want to be sure that we aren't reacting in our sinful ways, but that we purposely act in a Godly way (being kind, compassionate and forgiving)
