Things Teenagers Should Do In The Church



1.) Teach a Bible class!

I’ve been teaching the 2-4 year olds at my congregation the past few months. It’s been so much fun, and I’ve probably learned more than them! Or even if you volunteered to help in a Bible class, that’s awesome!

2.) Encourage

I’ve noticed a lot of older people encourage us younger people, but what about us encouraging them? It could be something as small as telling the preacher his sermon was great, or telling a older women how much you love her cookies at potluck.

3.) Cook a Meal for a Shut-in

I have been wanting to do this for a while. Hoping I can do it soon!

4.) Call A Shut-in

5.) Pretty much anything an adult can do in the church!

I know a lot of people say we are “the future of the Church ,” but no, if we want to we can be the Church now!

Doubt

           This month I am doing a daily scripture writing challenge on the topic of beating anxiety. Yesterday the verse was Mark 11:24. I've read it before, but I guess I have never noticed the significance of it. I like how the NASB translates it. "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you."    You see, in this verse Jesus isn't saying prayer is a way to get anything your heart desires. Jesus is urging us to pray for everything, believe that Christ can do it, and place no doubt in our hearts. The verse before this says "I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him."      I love how this says "does not doubt in HIS HEART." I think it really shows that doubt is an issue that comes from deep inside. It ...

Godly Woman

Image
      As Mother's Day approaches I've been thinking about all the strong Godly women I have in my life. I have too many to name.  I pray daily that one day I can be half the example some ladies are to me. I pray I can be the women that people go to for prayers, guidance, and advice. I sure got a long way to go. ;) Let's look at some attributes of a woman who fears our God. 1)  A Godly Woman Is Giving          Proverbs 31:20 says "She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hand to the needy." A woman of God is not selfish. The woman in this chapter is "#Goals" as my generation would say. Selfishness is something I think everyone has struggled with at one point or another. We need to pray to have a "cheerful heart" when giving as 2nd Corinthians 9:7 says. 2) A Godly Woman Speaks Truth         I am an introvert. Sometimes I struggle to speak for what's right when others are doing wrong, and that is somet...

In The Storm

Image
    As most of you know, Alabama is expecting some rough weather today. We are up at church building awaiting what is to come. The calm before the storm can be deceiving. Right now in life my family is expecting a "storm" of somewhat. On April 3rd my baby brother will have to have a heart cath done. If this doesn't work, there is a possibility he will have to have another open heart surgery this year. I know he will be okay.        One verse that I've found comforting is Psalm 34:18 " The   Lord   is near to   the brokenhearted   and saves  the crushed in spirit." Trials are not fun, but they are something we as humans have to go through and should expect to go through. Verses like this should be reassuring to us. Any trial here on earth will be nothing once we get to our eternal reward. One of my favorite verses is Revelation 2:10 " Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to thro...
