WORLD-CHANGERS!
Section 9 Ministers and Spouses Christmas Banquet - Dec. 10th
HYC - 28, 29, 30
REGISTRATION - Opens in 4 days!
Very important - everyone going must register. Pastors, Youth Pastors, and Young Adult Pastors are free, but the info still needs filled out.
This registration is important because it helps pay for this massive event!
I will hold off telling who is preaching and leading worship, but let me tell you this: You’ll be disappointed if you don’t make it to this one!
Bro. Gaddy has a special morning session for everyone this year.
It’s Nate Smith’s last event as our Youth President.
For Seekers, He Stops!
For Seekers, He Stops!
Have you ever met someone who you thought was trying really hard to be a person they’re not?
Frank Abagnale Jr. was quite an interesting character. He:
was rich
was a pilot for Pan Am airlines, flying all over the world
stayed in luxurious hotels
bought expensive cars
after piloting, he was a doctor and managed interns
after being a doctor, he became a lawyer, passing the Bar exam
And hearing all of this about a person, you probably think, “That is really an accomplished human being right there!”
Except… it was all fake.
He had learned how to successfully forge checks and get tellers to cash them.
He conned his way into being a pilot.
He worked his way around FBI capture constantly.
He posed as the doctor and the lawyer, people believing it.
But eventually, it was over and he was arrested in Paris. He ended up being a consultant for the FBI on how to “appear” authentic.
And here’s the deal… Jesus isn’t looking for people who “appear” authentic. He encountered plenty of Pharisees who did that well.
But what Jesus stopped in His tracks for, no matter what He was doing… was SEEKERS!
“Who touched the hem of my garment?!”
FOR SEEKERS, HE STOPS!
I feel something right there…
I want to tell some students that you can try to play the part, if you want! But God is interested in SEEKERS today! Some people who are HUNGRY!
Let’s stand…
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
I wonder if there would be some people tonight who would get ahold of a seeker mentality!!!
“I’m gonna grab ahold of the garment of praise… and maybe nobody else is going to wear theirs, but I’m going to wear mine proudly, BECAUSE FOR SEEKERS, HE STOPS!!!!!”
