nO Other gODS

Tonight is the cornerstone commandment for the entire rest of the year. (Exodus 20:3) In other words, its the foundation by which all the other commandments are built. "You Shall Have No Other gods (little g) Before Me." Here's the reason.....because THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER gODS!!! Isaiah 43:10-11 - "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD (Yaweh), and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no Savior."

Loving God and Loving Others

Teaching on the 10 Commandments will be the emphasis this year in 180 Youth Group. Can you name all ten of the ten commandments? Try it! Now watch the video and see if you got them all correct.

Jesus reminds us in the gospels that the 2 greatest commandments of all are to "Love God and Love Others." 

So how do you do that? I John 5:2-3 says we do that by following His commandments, and what better way to follow His commandments then to go the original ten! These ten commandments are still applicable today, not because we are held under them and have to keep them or lose a relationship with God, but because we should follow them as a result of our relationship with the Almighty God, who loved us first! (I John 4:19)

The first 4 have to do with our relationship with God and the last 6 our relationship toward others. 

Youth Group is every Wednesday night, during the school year, from 7-8pm. Come check it out!

Came to the office this morning and found this. "Your hairline is looking real fresh." Is that a good thing? Nah. Oh teenagers...what goes around comes around. Some day you're all gonna be as bald as a bowling ball and you're gonna look over at me when we're at the senior center and I'm gonna look at you with that "I told you so" look and then I'm just gonna laugh and laugh. Oh what a day that will be! - Pastor Jake

Last Night of OPERATION REVERSUS!

Reactions when these people heard tonight was the last night to invite friends to youth group for OPERATION REVERSUS.

Notice the Roman Centurion from the DVD we watched last week. He was pretty upset, but the guy to his left was excited at the opportunity to invite more friends back! The baby below him was bummed that we have only had 17 of the 50 back so far, but the boy in the middle right was excited that we have had 17 come back!

What is your reaction? Who will you invite back tonight?

DVD showing tonight at 180 Youth Group!

RESURRECTION!
