Our Second Youth Activity Night in April

This past Saturday the teens gathered for the second activity night of the month.

The evening consisted of several indoor games including dodgeball, kickball, and balloon relays.








































The game time was followed by a challenge from God's word. Pastor Ryan challenged the teens to know the gospel and to see how it applies to all of life. There isn’t a day that doesn’t go by that we don’t need to be reminded of the truth of the gospel, that God loves us and sent his Son to die for us and that our only hope is the gospel. We looked especially at 2 Corinthians 4:4-6 where the apostle Paul writes,

"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

Paul is telling us that the gospel is all about seeing God’s magnificent glory in Christ. God's glory is demonstrated most powerfully, most radiantly in Christ -- In who he was, in what he did, in his perfections, in his perfect love, in his compassionate weeping for sinners, in his quiet suffering for our wretched sin, in his ultimate triumph over sin and at the empty grave, in his gracious intercession for us now, and in his glorious triumphant return to reign as king! If we want to see God’s glory, we need to look to the gospel of Christ, for in the glorious gospel of Christ we see God’s glory most radiantly. Meditate on the gospel, study the New Testament and see how often the gospel is brought up. Love the gospel.

Following the devotional the teens enjoyed some time for eating and fellowship.
