FBCJ SOLID Youth

The things Paul counted as "dung" when he saw Christ represent things you and I still struggle with after salvation. This message looks at four elements of pride that Paul surrendered at the foot of the cross, and they're four elements that we need to combat daily.

Everyone knows the story of Korah...few know the story of his sons and how they refused to let the past define them. Hear their legacy beyond the wilderness and glean from your own life applications for things outside your control.

We were going to continue our study, but events of this week altered the course of the message. God isn't done speaking to us about the self-life and the self-sins that we allow to rule inside of us.

Here we look at our first few warriors of the book of Numbers who stood up and refused to wander like the rest. Are you "of another spirit" (Num. 14:24)? Have you "wholly followed the Lord" this school year (Josh. 14:8)? If you've lost steam to finish well then this message is for you!

Isaiah's vision of God, while similar to John's, gets more specific with what he sees when his eyes take an inward turn to his own sinfulness. His response reveals more to us as we compare scripture with scripture to see the depths of our hearts and the self-sins that keep us back from full devotion.

A predominant trait of a wanderer in the book of Numbers is that of a murmurer & disputer. Nothing will slow down momentum more and prevent us from finishing well. As you'll see, nothing dropped more bodies in the book of Numbers than complaining. Do any of these 7 murmuring events strike a chord with you?

In our busy season is when we often lose sight of what true devotion to Jesus Christ looks like. In those moments, we need a fresh look into the mirror (2 Cor. 3:18) to see him on a daily basis as John saw him in Revelation 1 so that we too may become "as dead" for his use.

Spring can be horrendous for a young believer. Exams, final assignments, procrastinated projects, prom, and incessant games & practice can eat away at your time and cause you to lose focus on the eternal things of God. This miniseries is for us to press forward to finish well and not lose the momentum that we as SOLID have gained over the course of the past year. Grab your sword and shield and press forward!

In the finale to this series on the King James Bible, we look at ways the devil works his "son" into modern Bibles. In our conclusion, we look at the point of all of this and the stirring challenge these truths leave for us all.

Uriah the Hittite was an example to Israel in a time of complacency. This message goes along perfectly with our Sunday Morning series in that we need to combat our own complacency by never forgetting the gift of the word & words of God!
