Tonight John unwrapped his vision for the youth ministry at Liberty Baptist Church in Spring Lake.
Within each of us, when we accept Christ, a spark is set within our hearts. The world and all that is within it would do anything and everything to extinguish that spark within our hearts. As we encounter intimacy and growth with Christ, our spark becomes a burning fire. John had an awesome visual for the spark and then the flame that's fueled by our relationships with reading God's Word, prayer, worship, and relationships with others,.
As a follower of Christ we are to help others FUEL their fire so that it continues to burn with passion. A passion for a deeper understanding of our loving Savior and his desires for our lives.
What or who helps FUEL your fire? Have you thanked God for them lately or better yet shared with them that they help FUEL your fire?
What things keep your fire from burning to it's fullest capacity?
John challenged the kids with this very question. After small groups, they came out to a big bonfire and threw those things in the fire, praying that God would remove them and allow their fire to be FUELED it's fullest capacity!
At Liberty, we are praying to be that FUEL. To join together with parents & volunteers to keep the FUEL on the fire within the hearts of students.
