If Your Dad Were President

Naomi and I have been watching the TV series "The West Wing".  It is a drama focused on the west wing of the White House.  In the series we get to see what personal interaction between a president and his kids might be like.  The difficult part is finding the balance between their dad being their dad and their dad being the president of the United States.  

In the same way I believe we need to find that balance in our relationship with God.  He is the almighty creator of the universe, yet he is our father.  How do we approach him?  He wants us to come to him as our father, yet we also need to have the awe and fear of him as God.  We dare not come too flippantly (Ecclesiastes 5:1-7) but we know we can come boldly before his throne (Hebrews 4:16).  

This coming thursday night we are going to talk about how we come to God in prayer.  How do you talk to God?  As the creator of the universe?  As your father?  As your boss?  As a stranger?

Sound Theology

Fellowship - Not just the name of our church!

Last night we talked about how all believers are connected because of God's Spirit that is in each of us.

We challenged you to find a couple Christian friends that you can connect with on a deeper level, more than just sports, shopping and school.

Follow up this weekend and talk to some close friends about becoming more connected.  

Ask how you can pray for each other.  What are some great things God is doing in your life and what are some hardships you are dealing with?

Figure out a time you can get together -in person! not on Facebook!

If you feel like you don't have any close Christian friends, start getting to know the other youth that are out on Thursdays.  

And as always, you have your parents.  Talk to them about what is going on in your life.  I am also sure they would love to help you connect with other youth!

Hope you have a great weekend and hope to see you next week!
