Wednesday Night Recap!

This last Wednesday Night we celebrated Valentine’s Day with pizza and yummy treats! ♥️

Big Idea:

Winning the Battle in Your Mind

Following Jesus means learning to think God’s way, not just going with every thought or feeling.

Romans 12:2
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

The Bible is clear that our thoughts matter. What we think about shapes how we live. The world constantly tries to shape how students think about success, relationships, identity, and truth.

Just because a thought comes into your mind does not mean it is true or from God. Learning to follow Jesus means learning to measure your thoughts against God’s Word.

God changes us from the inside out, and He starts with our minds. When our thinking changes, our choices start to change too.

Philippians 4:8

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

God gives us clear direction on what kinds of thoughts we should focus on.

Wednesday Night Recap!

Kids Club:

47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”- 1 Samuel 17:47

Tonight in kids club we read about David and Goliath. We saw the boldness that faith in God gives us! We too can be bold in our lives because we don’t walk alone, Jesus is with us wherever we go!

Youth Group:

Big Idea:

Boldness is not about being loud or fearless. It is about trusting God enough to live for Him even when it is uncomfortable.

Teach:

Joshua 1:9

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua was stepping into something new and unknown. God did not promise it would be easy, but He did promise He would be with him. The same is true for us. God’s presence gives us courage when we feel unsure.
