Week 2 Who am I? Day 10

Day 10 Read Ephesians 3:20-21 What is it that God is able to do according to this passage?  Where does this power reside? Do you live like that is true? If so what does that look like for you? If not,  what things do you have to change about the way you live?

We are made in the image of God.  He is with us, wherever we may go.  He is all-powerful and all-knowing.  Through Jesus he invites us into his family and comes to live inside each of us.  We are each uniquely and supernaturally gifted and empowered through the Holy Spirit to do ridiculous things. WOW! Wow! WoW!  Spend some time thanking God for these amazing blessings.  Then ask Him what you should be doing with all these blessings? (The answer to this question should not be the same for everyone)

Youthworks Summer Missions Trip-Queens 09

We are roughly six weeks away from leaving on our summer missions trip to Queens, NY. Six weeks, that's not much time at all. Hopefully you have been thinking and praying about this trip since you signed up. Our challenge, over the next six weeks, is to get ourselves ready to serve God and others. The most important thing we can do to get ourselves ready is stay connected to God. It is my hope and prayer that this website will help you stay connected to God.  Each weekday Monday-Friday there will be a new post with a scripture reference and/or questions and/or a quote and/or a thought for you to spend sometime wrestling with.  Each day I would like you to comment on your thoughts regarding that days post.  It doesn't have to be long but please take this seriously our time of preparation before the trip is vitally important to our actual time in Queens.  Please do not hesitate to ask questions.  Remember there are no dumb questions.
