IT'S CHOCTOBER

2008-10-03T14:20:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately lots of people think that Church and ultimately God is boring, but here at WIRED... we know that it just isn't true. During the month of "CH-October" join Jr. High Students as we laugh, play, sing, eat chocolate, and discover together how much God truly loves each of us.

Every Week In October / 9:00-10:15am / in the student center.

"CHOCOLATE"
Why Choctober? October and Chocolate go together like peanut butter and jelly, so each week in Ocotober the chocolate will be flowing, flying, and filling our bellies. We think that the Church can be a delicious bite in contrast to the dull hopelessness that the world seems to offer.

Full Service Summer Week 1

2008-06-16T11:24:00.000-07:00

Every week I will post the outline from my previous talk. This past week was all about the Bible and how to study it.

Full Service Summer
The Tools You Need To Keep Going
The Bible

What It Is:
The Bible is a MAP
“Open my eyes to see the wonderful things in Your Word. I am Just a Pilgrim here on earth: How I need a map---and Your commands are my chart and guide.” Psalm 119:18-19

The Bible is a LIGHT
“Your Word is a light for my feet and a light for my path” Psalm 119:105

How It’s Done:

The 4 P’s To Studying The Bible

P EOPLE *Who are the main characters?
*Who was the author writing this to?

P LOT *What’s the setting?
*What’s the background information
*What’s the context?

P OINT *What is the main point of this passage?
*What does it mean to us today?

P RACTICE
*How can I apply what I’ve read to my life? How can I practice it?

Thought for the Week:

The BIBLE… it’s more than just a BOOK!

Current Series: What's Next?

2008-05-17T13:20:00.000-07:00

I have put the outline of my messages on this blog to keep all the parents informed of what is going on in the Jr. High Ministy.
I am currently doing a two week series titles "Whats Next?" A short look at forever.

This past Sunday, I spoke on the reality of Hell.
Here is the outline:
Sooner or later, everybody asks: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DIE?
He has also set eternity in the hearts of men (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

There are only two options: HEAVEN or HELL
“Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way”
(Matthew 7:13).

What Hell Is:

HORRIBLE
“They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 13:42).

ETERNAL
They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power (2 Thessalonians 1:9).

LONELY
“And many shall be cast into outer darkness, into the place of weeping and torment” (Matthew 8:12).

LEGITIMATE

What Hell Is Not:

Hell is not INTENDED for YOU!
The Lord is patient toward you, not wishing for any to
perish but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

“There are many homes up there where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you (John 14:2-3).

Thought for the Week:
HELL is no place to call HOME!

The Three C's of Internet Safety

2007-11-20T20:32:00.000-08:00

I get questions all the time from parents about how to keep their students safe online. Well, this morning I found an article on the three C's of internet safety. Here's a brief clip. For the whole article, click here.

Parents can easily feel overwhelmed as they grapple with how to make sure that their children get the best experience with digital equipment at home and school, said Marsali Hancock, president of the Internet Keep Safe Coalition.

"The real challenge is that [technology] moves so quickly ... there isn't a way for us as parents to always understand what the current issues are," she said Tuesday at a Capitol Hill event organized by the Entertainment Software Association.

To ensure your child's safety, it's important to follow the three "Cs:" keep current, keep communicating and keep checking, Hancock said.

Hooked

2007-10-09T10:07:00.001-07:00

I just started a new series in the Jr. High called "Hooked."

On Location

2007-06-25T15:37:00.000-07:00

We just wrapped up the second week of our ON Location....Moments with God from around the Globe series. This past week we were in Paris, France. Here is the outline of the message.

ON LOCATION! EIFFEL TOWER - The Structure took thousands of small parts (rivets, nuts, bolts, etc.) to work together in order for it to stand.

The Importance of Strong Connections
Since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs the others (Romans 12:5b).

The Best Way To Build On A Foundation

Is with STRONG CONNECTIONS

What Good Are Strong Connections?

Strong connections SUPPORT me
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing
(1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Strong connections STRENGTHEN me
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken
(Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Strong connections SUSTAIN me
Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat . . . refreshing! (Proverbs 25:13).

Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character” (1 Corinthians 15:33).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

Without strong CONNECTIONS, I’ll probably CRUMBLE!

Mark Your Calendars

2007-05-23T14:54:00.001-07:00

Parents, please mark July 8-14 on your calendars. This summer Jr. High Ministries is loading up the buses once again and heading off to an incredible life-changing week at Summer Camp. This year we are heading to Hume Lake Christian Camp. During our time at camp, students have a chance to hangout with their best friends, worship God with amazing worship leaders, study God's Word, and have great conversations with adult leaders and their friends. Everyday there will be free time that will include activities such as paintball, skate park, swimming, bike riding, fishing, and much more. This is one of the greatest activities we offer all year. We strongly encourage all 7th and 8th grade students to attend.
Wanna Go? Call Eric at 559-733-3966 ext 32 or bring in the registration form.

Compassion Child

2007-05-09T14:24:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago, I challenged the students to consider donating $1 a month to help support a child in Haiti. Her name is Fiby Ludia Snaelle Castin. She is 9 years old.
If we gather $32 dollars a month, we will provide food, education, Bible teaching, and much more. If you are a student and have not put in a dollar, I challenge you to do so.

Mothers Day in the Park

This Sunday there will not be a Junior High Service. Join your family in the park as we celebrate mothers day!

Jr. High Survey

2007-05-09T14:15:00.000-07:00

This past Sunday I had the students fill out an end of the year anonymous survey. I just wanted to see where the students were spiritually, the things they like or don't like about the JHM and other random questions to help me see what is going on the brain of a Junior high church goer. Here is the survey.

1. I am a male/female:

2. I come to church mainly on Sundays or Wednesdays:

3. I come to church with:

On the phone:

Hanging out with Family

5. What’s your favorite:
TV Show

Movie
Sport

6. I believed Jesus died for my sins: Yes/NO
7. I have accepted Jesus into my life: Yes/NO
8. I have been baptized: Yes/NO

9. One thing I would like to hear a message on:

10. I think the biggest temptation facing JH students is:

11. If I could change one thing about JHM service, it would be:

Dealing with Bullies

2007-05-02T15:01:00.001-07:00

I think that every students deals with bullying at some point of their scholastic career. Some (like me) have to fend off the bullies, some become bullies themselves. Neither scenario is good. So, these two articles deal with how to talk to your student about being or dealing with a bully. They're from a secular perspective, but they have some good practical advice in them.

Is Your Kid a Bully?

The Book On Bullies

Strange but True

2007-04-24T09:13:00.000-07:00

I just started a three week series on Sunday mornings in JHM called Strange but True.
I am teaching on different stories in the Bible that are weird and probably some that the students have never heard before. Here is the outline from last weeks lesson.

Strange But True
Amazing Moments From God’s Word
Balaam’s Talking Donkey!
The complete story can be found in Numbers 22:1-40

The Story…In A Nutshell:

• The Israelites moved into the promised land and were busy eliminating the other people that lived there.
• This made Balak (king of Moab) very nervous so he hired a fortune teller named Balaam to put a curse in the Israelites.
• Balaam agrees to do it for the right amount of money, even though it was disobeying Gods command.

• On the way to Moab, God tries to get Balaam’s attention by sending an angel to kill him.

• The donkey sees angel, goes off path. Balaam beats donkey.

• Donkey Talks.

• Angel opens Balaam’s eyes and he falls to the ground

• Balaam repents from sinning and says he is going home.

• Angel tells him to keep going, but this time obey God.

• When Balaam shows up to pronounce his curse, he instead pronounces a blessing.

What Can This Possibly Mean To Me?

• 1. When temptation comes your way – Run From It
“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

Martin Luther once said, “You may not be able to stop a bird from landing on your head, but you don’t have to let it build a nest!”

• 2. When God tries to get your attention – Listen Up
“Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell face down.” Numbers 22:31

• 3. When God tells you something – Just Do It

“Loving God means obeying his commands. And God’s commands are not too hard on us, but for our good.” 1 John 5:3

Thought For The Week:

Are my Eyes Open or is my Mind Closed?

Adventure Park

2007-04-10T15:01:00.000-07:00

Every Scar tells a Story

2007-03-31T23:44:00.000-07:00

Here is what we talked about this past Sunday morning.

Every SCAR tells a STORY.
-Not all scars matter. (My scars don’t mean much to you and vice/versa)

-Some SCARS can CHANGE your life.
-There’s someone who has some pretty radical scars and their stories can change your life!

Jesus’ Scars
CROWN OF THORNS
-Jesus was sentenced to death for “blasphemy”.
(Some thing done or said that shows disrespect for God or sacred things.)
-Crown of thorns meant as an insult.

NAILS
-Wrists and Feet
-Not to kill, but to keep in place.
-Died of suffocation.
-Usually, they would break the legs.

SPEAR
-Spear in the side = poking with a stick
-Used to see if he was dead.
He used his servant body to carry our sins to the cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. -1 Peter 2:24

-SIN disqualifies us from being in RELATIONSHIP with God. (Heaven)
-Jesus died to heal that wound!

-What’s the big deal about His death?
Anyone can die for you. That’s not what made what Jesus did a big deal.
It was that he conquered death!

-His WOUNDS HEALED ours!
-Jesus has the power to help us overcome the wounds that we suffer everyday, even our biggest wound: DEATH!

-We’ll all spend FOREVER SOMPLACE.
-Heaven/Hell
-I don’t know where you’re at in your relationship with God, but you have to own it yourself.
-BIG OPPORTUNITY- Next three weeks!

Thought For the Week:
Jesus’ SCARS tell the best STORIES!
