Student Ministries 411- April 7th

Youth Tomorrow Night at 6:45 pm!

Tomorrow night, we are continuing our series on “The Believer’s Endurance”, looking specifically at verses 2-3 of Hebrews 12. Pastor Nate wants to encourage us by drawing from the well of Christ to consider what prompted His joy, even as He looked at the cross. What stirred Him at the deepest level, even as He agonized over the weight of sin and the cup of judgment He was about to drink? And to encourage us with a high view of Jesus, that the cross was the pinnacle of selflessness, where Jesus was joyfully stirred to glorify His Father by redeeming His bride. Knowing He loves us so increases our joy, that we may not grow weary in heart in our own trials.

 

Some Questions You Can Ask:

Have you ever gone through something hard knowing specifically the outcome on the other side would be worth it?

For the Christian, why is joy not to be circumstantial?

What often is a barrier to your joy?

How does pondering on Christ regularly increase joy, that we may not lose heart?

April Book Recommendation

Few authors in my life have had a profound impact on me as J.C. Ryle. Even though long passed away, I’m challenged by his straight-forward assessment of the human condition, and the necessity to bring the Gospel to bear. I trust this book, focused specifically on the parenting relationship, will be that kind of book. 
I’ve often told people, and truly believe this, that parenting is “the great expression of faith”. You sow and labor in the life of your child, but cannot change the outcome of their hearts on your own strength. You teach the lessons of the faith to your children (feeling like often you are only repeating yourself), but you cannot transform their minds like God can. You feel your limitation, and perhaps wonder: “Is anything getting through?” 
Of course the Bible is our first place to turn to encourage the weary heart or to recalibrate what we are actually doing in our parenting (and why we are doing it!). But it’s books like these that ask probing questions, pierce with deep thoughts, and come boldly forward with God’s Word that the parent may be encouraged/humbled/challenged/admonished in this particular role and season. So I offer this book, a helpful resource to me over the years, to you parents. Perhaps you, like me, just need the nudge along the way. May God use this book in profound ways!
