StartUp – Tuesday May 10, 2016
Good Day Passionate Youth Reaching Out, today is Tuesday May 10, 2016. My name is Grant and this is Start Up, helping you start your day with an upward focus.
Today’s scripture is Mark 10:42–45 (HCSB)
42 Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles dominate them, and their men of high positions exercise power over them. 43 But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life —a ransom for many.”
Jesus has the conversation with his disciples after two of them ask for special positions of power. What the disciples had yet to understand was that Jesus sees power in a completely different way then most people.
We think of power as a way to control people. Power is what helps us to get our way, power takes us towards the outcome that we want. Power means not having to accommodate the wants or the wishes of someone else.
Jesus says, power is having the ability to serve others. Jesus came to a people who were lost and without hope in the fierce and terrifying grip of sin, and Jesus used his power to defeat that sin and give those people freedom from sin.
If you are a follower of Jesus, then you have the same power in you that Jesus had when he conquered death by dying on the cross and then being raised to life. That power is in you to serve, to help, to forgive and to love. Its not a power that we use to control and manipulate, it is a power that we use to serve others in Jesus name.
The Challenge for this week revolves around sexual purity. I challenge you this week to set a goal for purity in your life, and then to tell your parents what that goal is. Ask them to hold you accountable to it, and ask them to pray for you and to pray with you.
This weeks invitation is for all students in Grades 9-12. This friday night we are having a SR High youth event at Hawkwood Baptist Church. Our game for the evening is Capture the Flag and our Bible study will be on purity. The night begins at 7 and concludes at 9:30.
If you want to find out more about our youth group, you can find us online at hbcyouth.ca. We are also on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, just search for Hawkwood Youth.
