High-Way 62 Youth Weekly Update

Hey everybody,

Wow, what a night we had Wednesday. I think my cell phone bill is going to be about $50 more than normal with all the text messages I received from you guys. I guess I should of thought of that before I decided to play that little game. I suppose I'll finally have to break down and come into the 21st century by adding text messaging to my account.

Here's something to thing about: The big idea of the message was that "When God calls you, it's best to obey." We discovered through the life of Abraham that faith in God and obedience to God are inseparable. One of the important lessons we learned was that faith and obedience always involve separation. My question to you is, "What are some things you might need to separate yourself from in order to be obedient to God's will?" God gave Abraham many great promises, but they required his obedience and personal commitment to Him as Lord in order to receive those promises. In the same way those promises in God's Word are for us today, but they require our obedience and personal commitment to follow Christ, allowing Him to be the leader of our lives. (If you have questions about any of this stuff, or just want to talk about it, please feel free to email or call me anytime.)

Here's what coming up:

• Ultimate Frisbee - This Saturday at 1 P.M. at the Berryville practice field across from the new choir and band building. Anyone is welcome, so invite your friends and come hang out with us for an hour or two.


• See You At The Pole - Next Wednesday at 7 A.M. at your school's flag pole. Don't miss it!


• Saw You At The Pole - Next Wednesday night at 6:30 P.M. at First Assembly. (Many great churches are coming together to celebrate the goodness of God.)

I think that's it for now. Don't forget to check out the youth website www.hwy62youth.com. We've been adding pictures just about every week, so jump on there and see if you can find your beautiful face.

Love ya, mean it!

High-Way 62 Youth Weekly Update

Hey everybody,

I sincerely hope you learned a lot at "Video Night." I've watched these videos two or three times now and every time I learn something new. For those of you that were not here, we are going through a series of videos on the first Wednesday of every month called "Demolishing Strongholds." The first session established the authority of the Scriptures and helped us to understand that what the Bible says about creation is true and the scientific evidence all points to that conclusion. I realize that's pretty fundamental and that most of you believe that already, but it has to be set as the foundation of our faith in order for us to fully understand what God has done and will do in the future. Being a follower of Christ at this time in history brings us the most extraordinary journey.

Here's what's around the corner:

• Ultimate Frisbee - Saturday September 20th at the Berryville practice field


• See You At The Pole - 7 A.M. Wednesday September 24th at your school's flagpole


• Saw You At The Pole - Wednesday evening September 24th (location TBA

I guess that will do for now. Don't forget to bring someone with you next week as we dig into God's Word and begin our series on "RUNNING WITH GIANTS!" As each of us deals with the reality that life has up and downs we can be encouraged that we're not alone in this race of life. You won't want to miss it.

Love ya, mean it!

Wes
