Get in Here Ministries?

What a great night we had last night! I saw some familiar faces that I had not seen in a while. We had a great time of worship together. We laughed a lot, ate some cookies, and enjoyed our time together. We talked last night about our cure for the world. The cure that we possess in the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Savior and our awesome God who gave His Son for all of us so that we could be with Him for eternity. We talked about the joy we have in knowing that our sins are forgiven and forgotten. The ironic thing is that this cure we possess is greater than any cure imagined today. Greater than it would be to possess the cure for cancer or aids or any other type of disease. Why is it greater you ask? Because the cure we have found saves us for eternity! Jesus is the cure for a lifetime of sins and is our payment due for our atonement. He paid the ultimate price. He is the ultimate sacrifice! Thank you God for sending us your Son! So what do we do with this cure we possess. We watched a comical video of sorts of two guys who were trying to spread the word of Christ through what they called Get in Here Ministries. Although it was humorous, it was also very real in portraying our inability to spread the good news of Christ because we as humans are getting in the way of the message. We sometimes have it all wrong in our approach to sharing the gospel with others. Here are some scriptures that we looked at and I would encourage everyone to go back and take a look at these. The scriptures tell us exactly how we should share the good news of Christ. Love you guys! Ross

You are wonderful! I'm so proud of our youth group and the growth I've seen in the past two years. I'm impressed with the example that some of our teens are showing at school-- they are showing Christ's love to their friends!
