What happens when you don't get what you want? Seriously, think about that for a minute. When something doesn't go the way you like how do you react? Do you get mad? Do you get whiny? Do you start plotting how you WILL get what you want? Whether it's watching the TV program we want, going to a particular restaurant, getting to sleep in late, or just not getting the freedom you think you deserve ... our natural reaction to not getting our way is, well....sinful.
Join us for youth this Wednesday as we look at this through the lenses of scripture...
James 4:1-3 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
Join us after youth for a soccer game between the youth workers... and the youth. Bring your own oxygen, and some for me too! After the game we will drown our sorrows in watermelon..... watch Josh as he bobs for seeds.......
