"5" COMPEL NIGHT - God is doing something!

Over the next three weeks some great things are going to be happening at GRAVITYyouthchurch. We are ending the school year full steam. Many times when we come to the end of a season we check out. The thing is the way you end one season is the way that you will enter the next. What I am saying is that the way we end this school year is the way that we will enter next year. I feel that God is wanting to do some amazing things at the end of this school year. Here is the schedule of events:

May 6th - Papio South High

May 13th - Papio North High

May 20th - Benson High School

I believe that God want hundreds of new students to come to "5" and encounter the power of God. I am challenging you all to believe and to pray that God does more than we could ever dream. Start working on those that you are trying to bring. Everyone have "5" people there, it is going to be a awesome month. I love what God is doing at GRAVITY.

CONNECT with GOD - Dreams and Vision are given!

CONNECT with GOD. It is the first step in the GRAVITYyouthchurch vision. without a connection with God nothing has purpose. God speaks to His people through dreams and visions. You will never receive a vision from God unless you are connected with Him. Lets look at two things that will help you as a leader and you CONNECTgroup stay connected with God.

1. Worship - The entertaining and welcoming of God's presence. Worship is always the first step in connecting with God is a real way. Worship is what you give you time, money, and attention to. If you did a time management sheet, you would find out what you really worship. You connection with God will be directly tied to you level of worship.

2. Prayer - In my personal opinion prayer is worship with the purpose of not just glorifying Jesus, but furthering His kingdom. Prayer is often times fuel by your point of complaint. Some people think that a point of complaint is a bad thing. I can tell you that it is not. In fact you point of complaint is the place of your prayer breakthrough and revolution. 

Just want to challenge you today how is your prayer life, and what has your time or worship. God is calling everyone of us to a new level of commitment, but your commitment will become stronger when your priorities begin to change. We must be leaders that have the right priorities. We must ask ourselves today is my whole heart sold out to Jesus and His calling. 

Love you all. It is going to be a rockin couple of weeks at GRAVITY. 3 high school and alot of Jesus. It is going to be a great time.

GRAVITYvision

Hey everyone. Today I was wanting to take sometime and talk more about the GRAVITYvision. We talked in leadership this Sunday about 3 things.

CONNECT with GOD

CONNECT with PEOPLE

CONNECT with PURPOSE

These three things have to be the cry of our hearts as leaders in the church. We must be connected with God in a really and powerful way. We must remember as leaders that we must continually grow our relationship with God. Remember that growth does not come unless you make a choice to stretch yourself and to do things that make you uncomfortable. Many of us as leaders know all the right things to say, but our level of commitment and dedication shows otherwise. Please don't just read over that last line. Think about your life and you commitment to connecting with God. You cannot say that you are committed to connecting with God and not share the same values as He does. God values faithfulness, trust, character, and servanthood. How is your faithfulness. When is the last time that you went the extra mile in your relationship with God.

Tomorrow, I will be writing about connecting with people. Connecting with people will happen naturally when you are connecting with God. When you connected with God you will begin to find love in your heart for others like never before. It is going to be a great season coming up, but we as leaders have to go to a new place. Love you all!
