Jump Street!!!!

Last night we took 44 students on the bus from Trinity Baptist Church, and met up with 20-30 students from FISH in the Cherry Creek school district to a place called JumpStreet. (10,000 square feet of trampolines)
The students at Grandview, and Cherokee Trail wanted to start having of campus activities, that could unite the clubs together! Pretty cool idea.
It was a very good turn out for our first event. February is still in the air, but we have begun planning, as youth pastors, the night of praise and worship in March. (It will be Friday March 18th @ Fellowship Community Church-more details to come)
Luke 17:22-23 ²² I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— ²³ I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Jesus wants us to be united, and these students and youth pastors are beginning to see this happen!
Keep praying.

This morning I was at Eaglecrest High School for Inspiration week. (f.I.s.h. -The I in Inspiration)
Where the students contact a speaker to come and challenge them to live out their faith in school and in their lives. The theme for this month is "Priorities" When the student leaders got together to plan the second semester, they said they wanted to make priorities important for the rest of this year.
I spoke on Who and what is first in your life? I related it to time spent with things or people, and you know your First Priority by the time you spend with it or them. Exodus 20:5 tells us that God is jealous. We know God is a jealous God, but do we know the rest of the chapter and the context. He is jealous when we let other things take the place of God. When we let Face Book replace the time we should be spending with God, we have made FB an idol. Idols have no power in themselves, just the power we give it. It is our heart that is the idol creator. (Jesus says in Matthew 15:19)
But God does not want to be first in our lives! Putting God first means giving him the first part of our week, the first part of our day, and the first part of our money. But if that is completely true then the rests of our week, day, and money is our and is for what we want. Not true. our entire week is for God, our entire bank account is Gods. Then God wants to be the center of our lives, not just first. If He is the center of our life, then He will also be the first part of our day, week, and money, but the rest is His too. The difference is that we need to filter all our thoughts, and actions through Jesus. Everything from what I should wear to what should I do next.
The kids really grasped the concept, and wanted to try it today. I hope some of them get back to me and let me know how they were transformed by the word of God this morning!
Remember them in your prayers today.
