Weekly Youth Update: 7/20-7/26


Last week, our Wednesday night Bible study focused on what it meant to be truly united with Jesus from Matthew 12:46-50. We discussed that belonging to Jesus begins through turning from sin and trusting in His life, death, and resurrection for salvation. The evidence that we belong to Him is a that our hearts our changed and we desire to please and worship Him in our daily lives. This was a great reminder for us about basic foundations in our relationship with Jesus!

This week, we are moving are meeting time on Wednesday night outside for a night of fun and messiness! Wear clothes that can get wet and messy and bring a towel and a change of clothes! We will meet Wednesday night from 6:30-7:30 in the Family Life Center. See you there!

Our Six Flags trip is this Saturday, July 25! Attending students must have both the medical and permission forms signed, completed, and returned on Wednesday, July 22. Also on Wednesday, we have our student/parent meeting for the trip at 5:30 in the Family Life Center.

On Saturday, students must arrive at 7:00 am so we can live by 7:30. We will return back to Anderson around 4:30 and we plan to arrive back by 7:15.

This Sunday, Homeland Park Baptist Church concludes Sunday Nights Alive Praise with a finger food night in the fellowship hall. The youth will join the rest of the church body in fellowship, praise, and food from 6:00-7:00! We will see you there!

Confession, Reflection and The Lord's Supper

Yesterday, our church observed the ordinance of the Lord''s Supper or Communion as some call it.  Our church is blessed to have a committee that prepares this for us on every fifth Sunday.  This practice is designed to take us back in our hearts and minds to that dreadful night where Jesus sat at a table with His disciples to prepare them for His pending crucifixion .   The purpose of the Lord's Supper is not for us to go through the motions, but to remember all that Christ did for us.  His body was broken and blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins.  Communion is a time to reflect, appreciate and give honor to Jesus for what He endured for us. This ordinance is not for everyone.  This is only to be taken by those who are believers and accepted Jesus as their ultimate forgiver and leader.  To partake in this service in an unworthy state is sin. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (NLT) 27 So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this...

Pastor's Post: Worshiping Expectantly (Genesis 4:26)

I am so excited to be meeting in person on Sunday after only meeting virtually for the past two weeks on facebook live. I ran across this thought the other day. Moses wrote in Genesis about creation this gem: Genesis 4:26 NLT When Seth grew up, he had a son and named him Enosh. At that time people first began to worship the Lord by name. This is the first time since creation and the fall of man where worship was recorded as happening.  This is the “genesis” of how and why we worship today.  We do not worship an unnamed impersonal God.  We worship “Yahweh” (“I Am”)!  He is our creator, Heavenly father.  Worship is not an obligation, it is a privilege! It is an expression of our love for God for all He has given us!  I encourage you to worship Him Sunday with other believers.  Whether it be with our church family or another one.  Worship corporately with those who want to do the same.  Let’s not take our worship opportunities for granted but vi...
