Student Ministries 411- February 10th

Youth Tomorrow at 6:45 pm!

Tomorrow night, Syri is continuing the series “Joy in the Christian Life”. Bible translations vary a bit on the exact number, but the word “joy” or “rejoice” appears over 200 times throughout all of Scripture. Multiple times we’re commanded to rejoice and be joyful, therefore it’s worth us taking some time to better understand joy and how we experience it.

For week two, we will study 2 Corinthians 6:3-10 in hopes of better understanding, “how is it possible that a Christian can suffer and rejoice simultaneously?”

 

Here are some questions you could ask your small group if you’d like:

1.) What are some ways that Christians today sometimes put obstacles in front of people who need the gospel?

2.) Read the list in verses 6-7, why is it important for a Christian to have these character traits while they’re in the midst of suffering?

3.) Is it possible for a Christian to currently be suffering and yet still experience joy? What do you think this looks like in the life of a Christian?

4.) What would it look like for you, in your Christian walk, to have the same level of commitment to Christ as Paul describes in our passage?

February Book Recommendation

“One of the great joys of pastoral ministry is the equipping of God’s people to do the work He has called them into, work that exists both inside and outside the church building (homes, schools, places of work, etc.). Specifically in my ministry area, I desire to equip parents and teens alike with truths that will both encourage their hearts and call them forward into greater likeness to Christ. I’m grateful for good books, literature that reminds us that even in our fallen condition, we as creation can continue to emit God’s glory as Creator, and that the consumption of quality writing can be used by God to great effect in our lives. With that in mind, I want to use our 411 space to give you a monthly book recommendation, a book that the Lord has used to great effect in my life, and pray it will bless any who reads. 
 
This past weekend, a number of our teens and leaders were blessed to sit under the teaching of Trip Lee, a pastor/hip-hop artist who has spoken in various context to many demographics. Several of the the teens expressed a desire to hear more from Trip Lee, prompting this book recommendation for this month. 
This book, as we saw on stage, is written by a man who understands the relevancy of the Gospel into every domain of one’s life, and who can communicate those truths in a uniquely authentic voice. This book, for example, will find the reader being exposed to Trip Lee’s musical lyrics, and how his life (and music) have been shaped by deep spiritual underpinnings. The greatest recommendation I can give to a book is that “this book increases my understanding and affection for Jesus”, and The Good Life does just that. It’s readable, humble, and fitting for any teen to consume!”
