JCX Tuesday 5/11/10

JCX Tuesday … so good …

-Looks as though our leaders are going to be very influential peeps! Shelby, Robert, Eric, Seth, Emily and Chelsea are doing some dreaming and some planning for JCX. They introduced themselves as the leaders last night (which isn’t easy because others will see them as people who don’t deserve to be leaders … more on that in a moment) and they prayed over each D-group which I thought was a great way to connect and remind the group they are not looking for a title but to live as servants.

-The teaching focused on this of being a leader. Often we have high standards for our leaders. These standards are unreachable. We expect someone who wants to be a leader to be perfect. That obviously can’t happen … or we’re Jesus. We talked about how leaders, including the youth at JCX, our ones who face their flaws in front of others because they want to be people that bring people to Jesus. Leaders choose to be apart of transforming their surroundings not being influenced by them. Leaders strengthen the brothers (Luke 22).

-D-groups were filled with great conversation. We are always looking to make that time important, healthy and comfortable. We discussed our D-group and what our culture is like in our group.

-Always great convo after JCX too. Had the chance to stay after and be apart of a chat with a friend. It’s great to hear the honesty and wisdom around me. I love it when people choose to grow and be challenged. Got nothing but love for those that sit and do nothing, complain, etc. but those that move forward are fun to be around.
