I seriously can’t think of words to describe what happened this evening!
Last night (Tuesday) I challenged the students to ask God all day today (Wednesday) to rock their worlds this evening. AND…there was a sense of expectancy among them like I’ve rarely seen or experienced!
(I’ve always said that one of the things missing in our churches is a sense of anticipation! Too many people act surprised when God does something amazing when we should be begging Him to work and then anticipating what He’s going to do. OK…enough of that!)
Last week when I was down here with the middle school group I felt like God was directing me to lead our high schoolers through the Lord’s Supper. And so…tonight we took communion together…and it was one of the most POWERFUL times of worship, brokenness, repentance and celebration that I have been a part of in my 18 years of ministry!!!
The Scripture passages that we covered are Matthew 22:36-40, Ephesians 4:25-32 and I Corinthians 11:23-29. I gave the students five questions to wrestle through that basically challenged them to look at their relationship with Jesus and their relationship with others.
I am still blown away. Yes, we did take a lot of video…but it just won’t do what happened tonight justice! Thank You Jesus!
Please keep us in your prayers…we have one more night and God is still working on a few guys & girls! Seriously, pray that there would be even more fruit on our last night (Thursday) that the entire week combined. In fact,
if you would just stop what you are doing and pray for our services on Thursday night that would be awesome!One more thing…we have baptism on the beach in the morning. Can’t wait! AND…one of our volunteers was telling a family here at the place we are staying about our service on the beach in the morning. One of the young ladies told her that she had received Christ but had never been baptized…and then asked would we do it! We told her heck yes!!! WOW!
OK…I’m trying to calm down. I really need to go to bed! WOO - HOO! This has been an amazing week! One more night to go!
