Pray For Us: An Update From Matt

ciy group picThis past week we took the students of Everyday Youth Group to a Christ In Youth conference in Maryland. It was an amazing week. God challenged and stretched us, and healed wounds in our group. 

* Praise God for all of the conviction that was felt by our group and the amazing conversations that took place.

* Ask the Lord to help all of our kids act upon their convictions– to live differently now back home with their families and friends, and to stay focused amid all the distractions everyday life brings.

New Teaching Series: Playing With Matches

Words are incredibly dangerous. Words spark revolutions, end marriages, and damage hearts. Words can also be incredibly healing. Words can strengthen us and set us free.

It’s like a fire. Fire warms us, and cooks food, and purifies things. Fire can also burn everything to the ground. God has entrusted us with a powerful, dangerous, glorious thing– these words. We’ve been Playing With Matches our whole lives, perhaps without realizing how much is at stake. It’s time we learn how to wield our words with wisdom.

Everyday Kidz will be learning age-appropriate versions of these lessons as well, in Only You Can Prevent Fires:
