LAST NIGHT!


Last Night at GRAVITY was incredible. Preached on Obedience and challenging people to follow the call of God on their lives. It was amazing to see over 100 students respond that felt a call on their life.

The cry of my heart is to raise up a generation that lives their lives called not just saved. One of the things that I think helps students live out what God has put in their heart is to tell someone about it. This is what we had students do last night.

1. Respond to the Altar Call and Cry out to God.
2. Share with a Leader what they felt God was calling them to.
3. Have the leader pray over them.
4. Write down on a Altar Card what their game plan was going to be to chase after what God had put in their heart.

To many time I think that we teach students to have a experience with God which is great. They also need to have a plan on how they are going to live after that experience. They need to write it down and share it with someone. This helps them to seal the message in their hearts and to have accountability to the vision God has given them.

It was such a powerful night. I am so looking forward to "5" week 3 next Wednesday. It is carnival night and it is going to be a blast. Hope to see you their at 5:30pm.

THE BLESSING OF HARD WORK

Many people want to see God do big things in their church and city. If our work ethic does not line up with our desire we will be held back. I believe that God has called His church to have a work ethic that astounds the world. Our dedication to the kingdom of God should be greater than any man working for a fortune 500 company. What if pastors and leaders turned our hopes and desires into hard work? I believe we spend many wasted hours and energy hope and thinking about how we want to see things change, but never put our hand to the plow. I believe if we became more about action and less about talking we would see much more happen in the kingdom of God.

God will move in your moving!!! So get moving on the things that God has put in your heart. You can do it! Get to work and watch what God will do when you give it all.

ACCELERATE 10K RUN

On May 2nd GRAVITYyouthchurch is putting on a 10k Run to raise money for our WE ARE GRAVITY campaign. This year we have set out to raise over 50, 000 dollars to go towards buses, campus car, and many other things. It has been so encouraging to see the students of GRAVITY get behind the vision for 2010.

This years run in going to be a big success. So far we have had about 9,000 dollars come in. I am excited to see what God is going to do in the next couple of weeks. We are believing that we are going to see 16,000 dollars come in before the race. This would help us to run buses to all of our major High Schools in the Omaha area. We are fully expecting to see the church explode in the 2010-2011 school year.

If you would like to get involved in the race or donate you can visit www.accelerate10krun.com.

5 MILLARD NORTH

Last night GRAVITY kick off "5" Compel Nights at Millard North. We have a great turn out and God moved powerfully. 30 Salvations and many lives touch. I am so proud of our students at Millard North and all that they did on their campus. I am pumped to see what God is going to do over the next 4 weeks.

When we started this event I wanted to challenge GRAVITY to end the school year better than they started. I have always wanted to be a pastor that challenged people to finish well. I believe that God blesses faithfulness and longevity. I am so proud of our students and how they are finishing the school year strong.

Until next week!!

BUS MINISTRY















This year we have set out to raise
40, 000 dollars to start many new things at GRAVITY. We are almost to the point where we have the money for our Campus Car and Buses for the 2010-2011 school year. This is so awesome. We will be running 4 buses every Wednesday Night and will be able to give transportation to over 200 students. It is a new season at GRAVITY and I am pumped to see all that God is doing through the students at GRAVITY. WE ARE GRAVITY and TOGETHER WE CAN!!!!

5 COMPEL NIGHTS!

At GRAVITYyouthchurch we have just begun 5 weeks of outreach events. One of my biggest trials as a pastor is not to raise up students that are just excited about the event, but are excited about living the life. 5 is probably my favorite event of the year because it teaches students faithfulness and lifestyle. We build fasting, prayer and outreach into every week of the event. This helps are students not to just have a one time experience, but to live a lifestyle.

This week we are having our Wednesday Night service at Millard North High School at 6:30pm. GRAVITY students have invited almost 4,000 students from the Omaha area. Students will continue to outreach like this for 5 weeks. In my heart this makes me more excited than any one time event, because students are seeing that living for Jesus out loud is a everyday thing. I am believing God for some big things these next 5 weeks.

If you live in the Omaha area I would love to see you over the next 5 weeks!
