Gospel: The gospel is the message that we are all separated from God because of our sin. The result of this sin is an emptiness, an ever-present guilt, and a certain fear of death. Yet, because God loved us, in spite of our rebellion, He sent His own Son to die in our place and to bridge the gap between Him and ourselves.-Greg Laurie
Ultimately we were….
* RUINED by Sin
* RESCUED by Christ
* RENEWED by the Holy Spirit
Big Ideas:
* Jesus is the answer but education is the key.
* Try things while they're free
* Puberty is tough…You feel a little insecure guess what so does everybody
* Take care of your health: Get strong, look good, be good and do good.
* Work is important: Jesus had a trade and most of the men of God were called while working
* The body of Christ is really really big
“People forget that the church is bigger than China. It speaks more languages than the United Nations. It has more volunteers than all the NGOs in the world put together.”— Rick Warren
* Forgive and love your parents
* Each one bring one:
The church will always have a future if people remain faithful, support with their finances, always pray and work on inviting three friends and be friendly with each other.
