THIS GENERATION – November 2009
Posted by jeffandthea on November 1, 2009
DOES BEING A CHRISTIAN MEAN EVERYTHING IS GREAT ALL THE TIME?
I used to think the answer was yes. Maybe I didn’t say it, but my actions proved that I thought everything was supposed to be great all the time since I was a Christian. When bad things happened that I couldn’t explain with a simple Sunday School answer then I was left feeling confused and hurt.
James 1:2 says “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials.” The truth is just because we follow Jesus, just because He is our Savior, Friend, and the Leader of our life, we are still going to face difficulties. One thing I’ve discovered as a believer is that difficulties are opportunities for spiritual growth. The Bible says in James 1:3 that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 1:4 says “endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. If you are going through some trials and difficulties know that your youth pastor, Jeff Ford, is here to help you carry the load. I am praying for you.

FACEBOOK & YOUTH MINISTRY
Lately we’ve been trying to use facebook to help spread the word about youth ministry events. Facebook is great; however, I am always worried about leaving someone out when I use FB “Notes”. Another resource for youth ministry information is the following website: http://jeffandthea.wordpress.com
