JCX Tuesday 4/13/10

We returned to action Tuesday night @JCX. Here are the specifics:

-We sold some food at a cheap price last night. Everyone always shows up early so we thought, “Hey, since we’re all here let’s eat together.” That’s what we did! Two slices of pizza, two bread sticks and a drink for $3. Next week … how about some tacos from Asaderos? It’s the place on the corner of Yuc Blvd and 3rd street. So good … come between 6p-630p … $1 dollar tacos and $1 dollar drinks. Plus, we get to eat and hang together.

-Brittney Jones played the piano for us last night and sang. It’s tough to get up in front of the group and do that … thanks for being so courageous Brittany.

-Kartal Karabas shared about why he came to know Jesus and what it means for his life. One thing he shared that stuck out: “Be bold”. Thanks for that encouragement Kartal. Watching his D-group pray over him was awesome!

-Worship through song was beautiful. Harrison Faux joined the worship team and played the key board. So great singing together. We did a long set of music last night and will continue to do that. It was just a good thing.

-The group read through 2 Timothy chapter 1 in parts last night. Some groups did well, others read at their own pace. Awesome to hear the scriptures out loud.

-Teaching focused on how we live can either be a desecration to the name of God (Khillul Ha-shem) or sanctifying the name God (Kiddush Ha-shem). Our thought for the night was Jesus became bad so we could become better.

-Focusing on 2 Timothy chapter 2 next week. Each week will be a bit deeper and harder to hear because there are some powerful things that Paul challenges Timothy with that we will lay out in front of each other.

-D-group focused on writing a Paul to Timothy letter. Leaders wrote to the youth and the youth wrote to the leaders.
