Some sentences for you to finish...
So today in Teen Track (a group of high school students that gets together before church) Paul had organised some pieces of card with the start of some sentences written on them. We could wander around the different boards and finish the sentence. Here are the sentences:
Church people are...
A hypocrite is someone who...
People outside of the church think Christians are...
The biggest complaint I have about really religious people is...
Think to your own church or community. Finish these sentences, be honest.
Blessings!

A Poem I Found
I was searching around for a poem that meant something and was so true. I found it! Here it is! It is called 'You're always there for me'. Read through it carefully and think about the words.
When the world comes crashing in
And chaos rules my mind,
I turn my heart to you, Lord,
And pure, sweet peace I find.
You lift me out of trouble
You comfort me in pain;
You nourish, heal and cleanse me,
Like cool refreshing rain.
I times of joy and bliss,
When things are going right,
You lift me even higher,
And fill me with delight.
You listen to my prayers;
You hear my every plea;
I'm safe because I know
You're Always there for me.
By Joanna Fuchs.
God Bless :)

Are You Listening?
This is a little analogy I thought of today.
So, if God had Facebook he'd have (at the minute) 7,207,941,514 people as a 'friend' on Facebook... WOW! 7 billion, 207 million, 941 thousand and 514 people. And, He'd have a 'chat' open for every single person, He'd be talking to them all the time but are they 'Busy', 'Offline', 'Away'?
What are you? Are you listening out for God?
Unplug your headphones and tune in to God's word that he has prepared for you.
God Bless :)

Our God Always Remains The Same
So here's a mouth dropping, heart warming verse.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today & forever."
How beautiful! Our God remains the same forever. He loves us the same (so so so much!) all the time. How does it feel to know that there is a God out there who created you, He knit you together in your mother's womb, He cares for you, loves you, guides you, protects you, wants you, accepts you, uses you for the work of His kingdom. How does that feel? Pretty mind blowing to me!
Remember God's love through everything you do.
God Bless.

Good Friday
This is no ordinary Friday. It's not a Friday where I want to plop myself on the sofa for the whole night. Today, a couple of thousand years ago something was happening. The creator of the earth was going to die for us... die... for us! You + me!
Picture this: You walk into the kitchen, your Mum or Dad starts talking to you, they say "Hey honey! Look, you gotta do me a favour. Lately I've realised how much this world needs to be free from their sin and wrong doings. I am sending you to the town square and you will die to save everyone else." God sent his ONE and ONLY son to the earth to be scorned and humiliated, broken and beaten, hurt and killed. For who? Us, us , us! Jesus didn't object, he loves us and he loves all of those children that haven't entered the world yet. He has always loved and always will! Therefore he wanted to die to forgive our sins. But... hang on? Jesus didn't just die. Guess what? HE ROSE! Yes. Jesus Christ died to save us and rose again. Jesus lives and loves.
Today, I'm going to a creative prayer thing in my church. It makes you think, really think. God sent his son (Jesus) to Earth to teach, love, comfort and die for us.
On Easter Sunday remember that Jesus rose from the dead and he still lives among us today!
God Bless and Happy Easter!
