We are in an really awesome two part series called I like Jesus.

In this series we are taking a look at how we can move from simply clicking the “I like” button to actually moving deeper in our faith. This past week talked about working out our salvation. Can’t wait for this week! Sunday Night Surge is every Sunday Night from 5p.m. – 7p.m. at Statesboro First United Methodist Church.

You can also listen to last weeks talk.

I hate to blog too much about myself but I have a great example for an illustration. This past weekend I went on the North Georgia Canopy Zip-line tour (which I recommend). The tour was a great experience that helped me stretch my fear of heights to new levels.

My favorite part was at the end when you have to rappel down off of a stand at the end of the course. I was a little… well very worried about if I would be able to do this. As I made my approach up to the edge I was getting ready to talk myself into it, but before I could start I was already rappelling.

See our guide knew I was scared and before I got to decision time she gently pushed me out. I was able to go where I wanted because someone pushed me through the hard part. Now to tie this into our relationship with God, we always want to go deeper but it’s hard sometimes. That’s why it’s important to be in a church. We can have those small group leaders or pastors that help push us past the hard parts so we can rappel deeper into our relationship with Jesus.

Our current series for youth is called the Battle With In. Over the past two weeks and for the next two weeks we will be focusing on temptation. The big idea is that when we are tempted there is always more at stake then we realize. Sunday Night Surge is on Sunday from 5p.m. – 7p.m. Element 1 is Wednesday from 6:15p.m. – 7:30p.m.
