Sunday nights results

Sunday night 18 in total, 5 of them young people, 

We heard a great message out of the book of Daniel on the ram, goat, and little horn. Stephen did a wonderful job preaching to our new demographic. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to teach to a older generation mixed with a group of teenage newbie christians. God really used the message to capture their attention. The boys were just mesmerized by Daniel's vision, I suppose they never thought the bible had such interesting things in it.

We had the Lord's supper tonight as well, I was very impressed how each of them paid attention to what Stephen was saying. Stephen, did such a great job explaining everything and teaching why we do the Lord's supper the way  we do. 

After the service we loaded up three car loads of kids and headed to our house for get together. The young people had asked to talk to Stephen about being baptized, so what better time then the present. It was so awesome to see them excited about coming over. I had told them in the service Sunday morning if they didn't have a note from one of their parents they would not be able to go. So I was tickled that they started coming in Sunday night with notes in hand. One young man and his brother said they would not be able to go because his parents had not been home all day, so he couldn't get his note. I made an exception and talked to his father on the phone to get permission.  So by the end of it we had 7 young people at our house eating pizza and listening to people talk about being baptized, they also asked some very good questions.

I really am standing amazed at what God has done. It is such an amazing experience to be here with these young people watching the change God is making in their lives. Please continue to pray for these young souls as they grow and learn more about the God in heaven that loves them.
