“... “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” Matt 2:2 (NIV)

When we think of Christmas, would you say people honor the benefits of Christ, but not the person?

We are blessed when we are connected to Him and following His way -- which may not necessarily be our own!

This is what we are doing today…that God is anointing these spaces and setting them apart for His work, they will represent hundreds and thousands of young people worshiping Jesus.

While God's Word doesn't say we won't have troubles (in fact it says the opposite!), what it does say is following His Word will bless, guide and shape us.

You are His disciple, he is sending you.

When God says I want you to build something for Me…it will be bigger than you.

Temptation to do the wrong thing isn't new.  "But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” .Gen 39:11-12a (NKJV)

When we obey, He opens avenues and possibilities.  Something big is on the horizon.

Don't think you are too young to lead.  Some of the Bible's most renowned leaders were teenagers.
