Heart of a Champion

Hey,

We start a new series this week called "Heart of a Champion"

In this four week series, we are going to explore the nature

of our hearts- and how to develop a heart that seeks to reflect

the character of God. The state of one's heart is central to

guiding one's faith. God's love is more than anyone can imagine.

This series will not only help us understand it, but also live it.

I am very excited about this new series. Make sure to attend

every week bcause this is going to ROCK!

Also, October 11th is youthquake. We will be going to Cullman

to enjoy so good ole slam your head mosh pit neck hurting

ROCK! You dont want to miss this event. We have had record

breaking attendance in revolution in the past weeks and we give

God all the glory for this and we will continue to keep Jesus Christ

our focus and foundation.

Lot of stuff going on in October so be prepared for crazy times.

I love each and everyone of you and my prayer for you is that

you are connecting with God and others in this group.

Peace in Christ!

Summer Time!

Hello everyone,
We are finally back in the groove at revolution. We had a wonderful time last night. We started out watching the centrifuge video, wow we had a great time. We all came together for worship time. We had someone playing the jimba, shaker, and the tamborine. I played guitar the best i could and everyone sang songs to our Lord. We had a great time. Bible study was good, we talked about Jesus healing the paralytic, and how the first thing Jesus noticed about this man was his heart. Jesus knew his first need was to be forgiven. As is our need. And only Jesus can forgive us of our sins and heal us. It was a great night all round. I am looking forward to next week. It seems like our group is growing closer and closer to each other and unity is being shown throughout. God is working and we are not just going to be called a revolution, we will be a revolution.

Be looking on this blog for dates of upcoming events. I will be posting very soon. And always remember to be praying for this group, our church, and our pastor. Love you all.

Mike

Centrifuge

WOW,

What a week we had at Centrifuge. The trip down was long and hard to handle but after arriving we had so much fun. The first night at dinner we learned a lesson about the food. VERY BAD! So I constructed a plan for every meal except breakfast, GO OUT AN EAT. Another set back for us was having to room with other church's. But, after meeting everyone that turned out to be ok. The first night worship rally was amazing. The band was very good and lead us to the throne of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We had a wonderful time during all the worship services. The next thing was the games. WOW, they had all kinds of crazy games to play. Everyone was assigned a country with their own flag, that was made up of different students from different youth groups. It was really cool. BIBLE STUDY!!!!!! Bible study was amazing. We learned about the parables that Jesus taught. It was very good stuff and we all opened our hearts to God's word and we are going to apply it to our lives. Prayer time was huge for our church group. I love the fact that our two campus' came together as ONE church body and prayed with one another. I also observed each student encourage one another and cheered each other on. It was a great time for Unity within our group. Beach time was awesome! We had a great time overall at Centrifuge Panama City Beach location. But, I believe I speak for everyone when I say I can't wait to get back to Union Tenneessee for Centrifuge. This was my first Centrifuge as a youth leader and I have to say that God did mighty things through this ministry, with each student and myself. God is amazing. He is awesome. He is our God. We love Him, and we will serve Him the best we can. To God be the glory forever, Amen.

Out for a while

Hello everyone,

Revolution will be out for a while. This Sunday is memorial day weekend,
so no revolution. Next Sunday is the day before centrifuge so, no revolution.
We will continue after we get back. I hope everyone is doing good, reading your
bible, praying and walking the walk. Dont forget to READ YOUR BIBLE. This
is very important to your spiritual growth. Bring your bible to church, get out of
the habit of reading the screens. Open your bible and let God speak to your heart.
I love everyone of you. Please have a safe summer! Remember God is watching
you everywhere you go, day or night! See you at church.

Hello everyone,
Tonight at Revolution we had game night. It by far was the best game night we have had. We had a great turn out of students. 16 total. We worked hard to get our Xbox 360 up on the big screens. Thanks to Jeff and Dexter for getting things plugged in. We had guitar hero and halo going on at the same time. Everyone had a good time playing and hanging out. We are excited about what God is doing in our student ministry. Game night will be happening again real soon so keep coming back to this blog to recieve info on what going down at revolution.

Next Sunday we will introduce a new series for our bible study. Things in bible study have been going real good. We will continue with a game before we start our study each week. New songs have been added to our worship list thanks to Russ our music minister.Next Sunday we will also be having a worship band coming from 1st baptist trussville. We look forward to our new series and for a visiting worship band. Things are going to get really wild over the next 4 weeks so hold on to your hat. If you havent been in a while we are changing and growing. God has been good to our group. I will be praying for all of you this week and cant wait till we meet again. May God bless you in a mighty way.
