Youth News: Nov. 7, 2019
Thursday July 2nd, 2020I can’t believe it almost Thanksgiving! I am going to begin this holiday season by taking account of my blessings. I’d like to invite each of you to do the same for yourself.
This morning, I was intrigued by the Time with Abba passage from Ezekiel where The prophet of God, Ezekiel, receives a riddle of Two Eagles. As I was reading this passage, I am reminded that God is the planter and grower. Too often in pride or stubbornness, I take the situation or circumstance into my own hands and try to get a “win” out of it. But I’m reminded today that I do not need to strive for the victory in my own circumstance, but to pray, trust, seek the Lord’s hand each and every day for our Youth Fellowship, our Church and our San Jose community.
The victory that God is looking for is actually revealed to us in this morning’s Hebrews passage; it is that the new covenant points our victory and hope back to Jesus Christ!
Reflection questions:
1) What areas in your life have you (or are trying to) control/manipulate for your own good or “win”?
2) How are some ways you can release this circumstance to God once again?
3) In what ways can we secure ourselves in the victory and hope of Jesus today?
Blessings,
Pastor David

Convoy of Hope Update
Thank you to all who came out last Saturday afternoon. It was a blessing to have you all available to help with distribution. We were a little short of our goal but we were able to do something very unique that Saturday. We were able to distribute 125 posters out to different local businesses within Little Saigon and the Spanish area between King and Story Rd. Remember, we have one more date on Nov 17 (Sun) during service to distribute flyers as a church.
Save the date and sign up!
