08/10/2014: CROSSOVER-UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Colossians 3:23
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men”

The message on Sunday kicked off our new series CROSSOVER-UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The major theme of the night was passion.  We looked at the above verse from the book of Colossians.  If you look at the Greek word for “heartily" it is soul.  This verse is encouraging us to be intentional with our actions and to carry out all tasks big or small with a passion that radiates from within our soul.  It has often been said that the current generation of youth is apathetic.  We have seen the potential within our students when the intent and action are fueled by passion. 

Our sincere hope is that our students will become increasingly more passionate about their faith.  There is a beautiful worship song by Jesus Culture that sums this up well.

“Set a fire down in my soul,
That I can’t contain and I can’t control,
I want more of You God, I want more of You God.”

We asked the students to reflect this week on their passions.  What are they passionate about? Is it a subject in school, a sport, a cause, an art form, etc.?  Once they have recognized their passions and gifts, we want to help them look at how they can use that passion in their everyday lives, in their school, and in their community. Ask yourself what are my passions?
