Yo homies!!!! XD sorry it's late....

So this week George preached. He talked to us about Fabrice Moamba.
If you haven't all ready heard, he had a cardiac arrest in the middle of a Bolton vs Tottenham match.
The crowd were being signalled to pray for him and the main point of George's talk was:

Why do we look to God in a crisis, but then go on living life, ignoring what amazing works God has done?

When it's convenient, we look to God. Instead of living our life with God. You can live your life how you want. That's free will. But you will never find Gods Love in anything other than him.

If you want God, you can get to him by praying! If you want a farther and the Love of God, you talk to him daily...... And the Love over flows. XD

If you would like to talk to someone about what you've just read, I'm ok to answer questions. But talk to God! He's with you and he wants to talk back!

Hiya!!!! XD
So this week at youth liz talked about Love!!! But not just any love. The love of God!!
It's also been a kind of theme this weekend because mark spoke on it Sunday night. :)

So you've read the first bit and now your thinking, "what's God got to do with love?"
Well, God actually loves you more than you know. He sent his one and only son to die on a cross. Jesus, the son, freely gave his life. Because he wants a relationship with you!!!
Confused? Well Jesus is the Son, God is the farther and the Holy Spirit all form the trinity. But we don't have to really understand that bit. All we need to know, is that God is very real and he wants a real relationship with you!
He doesn't just want you to pray and read your bibles, he wants you to constantly talk and rely on him.

In the bible it says: Pile your troubles on God's shoulders-he'll carry your load, he'll help you out. He'll never let good people topple into ruin. (Psalm 55:22 MSG)

He wants to be the person you rely on! In a book I have been reading called the shack. In the book God is cast in a human form, as a motherly figure, to help the main character, Mack, discover how much he really needs God. (you should read the book) But in the book, God is kissed on the cheek by Jesus. This is the kind of intimacy God longs for with you!!

Like a father with his young, it brakes his heart to see his children ignore him....

If you feel this spoke to you, then talk to me or anyone else you know is a Christian. Or maybe you just have questions.... Well we're here :)

Powerful!!!

So Friday just gone.... We had an amazing evening!!!!

The part that most stuck out to me, was when Paul did his speak. It was extremely powerful. He got a piece of wood and a nail. (the nail was around the same size as one they would have actually used to nail people to crosses) All he did was hammer the nail into the wood....

Now your thinking, "I've seen that loads of times". Well maybe you have. But the relevance here, was that a mans hand would have been in between that nail and that wood.

The bible says- "God so Loved the world that he gave his one and only Son"!!! Jesus was willing to do that for you and me! He willingly gave his life so we could be given for our sins! Those nails drove through his flesh for you and me.... He loves us THAT much!

The rest of that verse says-" that whoever believes in him, shall not perish"! You know when you accept Jesus into your life. It's not easy. But the Love is so vast. You have that constant re-assurance of Love. And all you want to do is please God. Because he's your farther and he created you.

George has spoke about this and you have probably herd this before. God is like a potter. He wants to mold you an shape you and give you the best in life. But if you don't accept him, how can he do amazing things?

Finally, the rest of the previous verse says- "but have everlasting life"! How amazing is that?!?!?! You get a place in heaven! If you just accept him into your life. You don't need the things of this earth!
Think outside the box. Don't let the world put you in one!

Speek soon!! :)
