Definitely Spring!

Spring has finally caught up to us. Lots of rain (which is so badly needed) means more reasons to be at youth on Wednesdays! Right? I think so and believe me, you'll want to be there.

Our next series finds us in 1 John. This particular letter sent out to many churches was authored by John the Apostle who was known as the "one whom Jesus loved" (John 13:23). This letter is extremely bold, and is a definitive account of truth as witnessed by John himself. What we learn from John here is that we can know for sure that there are definite sides to our Christian life. There are areas that we must and should be certain of which means these areas should be easily upheld. As Christians in the 21st century, we can be just as certain about our beliefs and ideals as John was long ago. I am calling each of us to live a definite life that is distinguished by bold convictions and determined action. John spoke of Jesus and His commands as if he knew the Savior of the World because he did know Him. We can speak and live just as certain because we can know the same Jesus. He is alive and His Word has not changed.

Hopefully, each of you will engage the text and live boldly for your King. John has some specific things on his heart when he wrote his first letter and we will make it our goal to know these specifics so we can know more about the person of Christ!

Remember to ask questions as often as you can; ask mom and dad, ask me and Pastor Noel, grab an elder or deacon, give us the chance to help. You are blessed in so many ways but especially because you have the Word of life watching, instigating, guiding, every step you take. Don't forget, Wednesday nights, the Pulse, at 6:30... I'll see ya there!
