Last Night at CSM!

Hey Everyone,

Sitting here reminiscing a little about last night at Student Ministries! What an incredible night God gave all of us. We had NINE people raise their hands to either pray to receive Christ or rededicate their lives to Him!! I'm so amazed at just how incredibly powerful the Gospel of Jesus Christ is.

Yesterday, God allowed us to bring back the wonderful game of dodgeball, it was awesome to watch you all get pegged :) Though, not going to lie... I got pegged a fair share myself. Also, the ping-pong table is downright legit... any challengers just let me know, I will beat you down.

We talked about proving the faith we have in Jesus by the good works that we do. If we have a saving faith in Christ, it should be shown by the good things that we do. So often, when we think about things we need to do for Christ, our minds automatically go to the huge things: save my school, start a church, launch an orphanage in Africa. I am a firm believer that God has given each and every one of us a divine purpose... He's saved us for a reason. There is something huge that God wants to do through you. But that huge work needs practice. That's why our deeds need to start small. Just like Daniel-son had to start by "wax-on, wax-off" and Nate has to start by climbing stairs before running a marathon, we have to serve our family, our friends and our church well if we are going to fulfill the huge purpose that God has destined for us.

So think today how you can serve those around you... I mean really serve. We talked about how Jesus knelt down and washed His disciples' feet, a job for the slave of slaves. How can you be that type of servant to those around you today?

Keep inviting people to CSM and MiPods!! God is doing some incredible things and everyone deserves to be a part of it!

Reminder! No CSM or First Wednesday next week!! So make sure you come on October 13th for the start of our church-wide series called "The Hole in Our Gospel," it's going to be awesome.  Love you guys, see you this weekend!
