SATELLITE STUDENT MINISTRY

Nursing Home and Youth

2010-09-21T21:44:00.000-05:00

I hear there is some confusion out there. We ARE having youth tomorrow at the normal time (6:30 - 7:45). For those of you that can make it, we are also going to the nursing home before youth at 5:30 to assist in a small project. If you can make it to the nursing home we will be leaving the church (GBF) at 5:30 to head that way and then we will get you back to GBF before youth starts.

"Who's moon is that"?....."That's God's moon."

What up students!?! Jason Carney here. Lets revisit some of the special award-winning moments at youth this past Wed....

We played a game with spoons & funyuns & teams, of which my team was the worst.
Did we give a name to this game? I nominate "spoonyun".

Have y'all had time to consider any of the stuff we talked about?
There was that one cricket who seemed very interested in what I was saying.

Look back through some of those verses:

Genesis 1 = The account of God creating the Earth. The astronauts read this in that video I played... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_NZ4rSvBCg

Hebrews 11:3 = That by our faith we understand that God created the universe.

Job, Chapters 38-42 = Where God has something to say to us about His creation.

Read these verses & then look around you. What do you see?
"Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,..." -Ecclesiastes 12

I hope you all have a great week & I can't wait to see you next Wednesday, where we can hopefully have more fun doing stuff that is fun to do on Wednesday at youth. Know what I'm sayin'?

"There is no 'dark side of the moon' really, matter of fact, it's all dark, it's just the sun that makes it look light."- from Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon"

Sunrises and Jesus...

2010-08-29T22:29:00.001-05:00

What it is students? Had a great time back at Planet Old School with y’all last Wednesday evenin’! I hope y’all like Princess Knight Rider 2.0 or PKR2.0 as it is now being referred to nationwide.

Just to recap what we talked about last week. A relationship with Jesus is not merely a list of “do’s and dont’s”, its about having the light of Jesus rising like a like a sunrise, that needs to touch EVERY area of your life.

Remember the verse that we talked about:

John 8:12, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

Remember the quote we talked about:

"In the wake of sin's dark devastation, the coming of Jesus was his (God's) piercing, thundering announcement that now everything had changed" -Greg Gilbert

Are you tired of feeling you are just trying to be “good enough” all the time? Why not try looking at your life, see the areas that need to change, and ask God to shed the light of Jesus on those areas. Let God lead you in how you need to improve…then HE gets the GLORY and you get the JOY…Don’t waste another day jumping through hoops trying to be good enough, admit that you are not good enough and believe that JESUS IS….then follow Him in all your ways.

…& y’all read your Bibles, it’s God’s Word use it. Pray, often and consistently. And commit and get/stay involved in church…Because these are avenues for you to know JESUS more…the man who gave his life for YOU AND I.

Have a great week, and I’ll see y’all Wednesday. Jason is gonna be teaching…so yeah, you know how I used the sun as an illustration, this week Jason going to talk about another planet, THE MOON!!!(yes that was a joke, not the part about Jason teaching or using the moon, but the part about it being a planet…wow that’s a lot to have in parentheses…whoa that word looks weird, pa-ren-thes-es )

:) later folks,
roy

Wednesday, March 3rd Recap...

2010-03-04T10:32:00.003-06:00

GREAT NIGHT at GBF Satellite Student Ministry last night.
The students competed in some serious Kleenex pulling, the praise team was ON, with Michelle Quijano making her praise team debut, (awesome) and Jason Carney taught a lesson challenging us to live out our faith no matter what our age or circumstance. Way to go Jason "pop" Carney! Get it? because it sounds like popcorn, only its Carney - "pop carney"...ok don't worry about it.

Join us next week, when we'll have live bears, monster trucks, and the Jonas Brothers...ok none of that will happen but it will be great, because it's ALL about Jesus! : )

2009-12-17T11:14:00.003-06:00

Had a great time at the progressive dinner with everybody! Thank you Heinrichs, Waliguras, and Roberts for the awesome food. Austin, Melina, and Nicole did a great job talking about faith, hope, and love at each house. Come back next week!

2009-12-11T11:13:00.002-06:00

This Wednesday, Lara finished up the series on evangelism and we played a gross game with Alka-Seltzer and sprite. The praise team sang some great songs including "The Stand". Don't forget to pray for Joyce and High school bible study. See you guys next week!

2009-11-19T09:02:00.002-06:00

What up? This is Helen! I have a lot of stuff to say so listen up! Last night Casey gave her testimony and we played some kind of game involving beach balls and a cardboard tube. Alright, so we have a lot of stuff this week so here's a heads up...

~ The mission trip! This Friday! Meet at the church to load up and head out!
~ Everette Robertson, my cousin from Africa, is coming to speak to you guys on Sunday morning. It's going to be good!

Peace out!

2009-11-12T16:19:00.002-06:00

Casey did a great job last night talking to us about evangelism. Worship was really good and the smell was even better. Don't forget church at 9:00 and sunday night bible study!

2009-11-05T10:18:00.004-06:00

Everyone was in jolly spirits at youth last night. We playethed some Princess, night, ridereth and Casey talked of evangelism and howeth to introduce God to your friends.

2009-10-29T12:15:00.005-05:00

N.O.W was amazing. Nikki, Jason, Casey, and Lara shared some scriptures that really helped us get into worshiping God. The Worship team was awesome and it was probably one of the best Wednesdays ever. Thanks Austin's mom for bringing us some pizza and don't forget the Community Fall Festival this weekend! You better be there!

Last Wednesday...Testimony

2009-10-26T22:04:00.002-05:00

Let me just say that Youth at Planet Old School was ROCKIN last Wednesday night… We played a crazy game that did not make any kind of sense, at one point everyone started barking like a dog!!! Not sure what was going on there…lol!
The “GBF praise band that sounds good” led us in some great worship allowing us to praise our Lord in a mighty way…
Then to top off the night Jason and Nikki shared their testimony, telling us about their life as child, when they discovered that needed a Savior and how God has worked in and through their lives since that time.

Don't forget, THIS WEEK...N.O.W.(Night of Worship) and FOOD!!!! That's right PIZZA

Also, Jason and Nikki may have sparked an interest in some of you to share YOUR testimony! The following is some information I found (Christianity.about.com) about what a testimony is, and showing how to write your own.

First and foremost - remember - there is power in your testimony! Revelation 12:11 says we overcome our enemy be the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.
A three-point approach is very effective in communicating your personal testimony. The outline focuses on before you trusted Christ, how you surrendered to him, and the difference since you've been walking with him. Before:
Simply tell what your life was like before you surrendered to Christ. What were you searching for before coming to know Christ? What was the key problem, emotion, situation or attitude you were dealing with? What motivated you? What were your actions? How did you try to satisfy your inner needs? (Examples of inner needs are loneliness, fear of death, insecurity. Possible ways to fill those needs include work, money, drugs, relationships, sports, sex.)
How:
How were you converted? Simply tell the events and circumstances that caused you to consider Christ as the solution to your searching. Take time to identify the steps that brought you to the point of trusting Christ. Where were you? What was happening at the time? What people or problems influenced your decision? Since:
How has your life in Christ made a difference? How has his forgiveness impacted you? How have your thoughts, attitudes and emotions changed? Share how Christ is meeting your needs and what a relationship with him means to you now.
Tips to Remember
Stick to the point. Your conversion and new life in Christ should be the main points.
Be specific. Include events, genuine feelings and personal insights that clarify your main point. This makes your testimony tangible - something others can relate to.
Be current. Tell what is happening in your life with God now, today.
Be honest. Don't exaggerate or dramatize your life for effect. The simple truth of what God has done in your life is all the Holy Spirit needs to convict others of their sin and convince them of his love and grace.

2009-10-08T12:20:00.002-05:00

Helen here! Youth was awesome! We played some Musical Plates (as seen here) and continued with the series "Skeptic." This time Roy talked about the difference between miracles and science and how God is bigger than science. Next week we go to Fields of Faith so be there!

Duct Tape and Macaroni

2009-10-01T11:15:00.007-05:00

This week was totally fantastic. Roy continued his Skeptic series and a bunch of people rolled around in macaroni. We ate some delicous hotdogs and worship was moving.

2009-09-17T11:13:00.002-05:00

Make a Smilebox postcard

New Series: SKEPTIC

2009-09-15T10:36:00.003-05:00

Let's be honest, our culture is skeptic of everything, and Christianity is no exception. Our students are either skeptic, or living in a world of skeptics. Either way we need to put to rest some doubts and equip others to do the same. Join us on Wednesday nights as we seek to address difficult issues regarding Christianity.

Ever had these thoughts?
• Christianity just seems like a way to make sure no one is having any fun, and God is the ultimate fun police.
• Surely there can't just ONE WAY to God!
• If God is loving there wouldn’t be a hell.
Join us for these and more, Wednesday nights 6:30 -7:45

2009-09-09T20:54:00.004-05:00

GIANT UNDERWEAR. This week Roy talked about John the Baptist and how he had to decrease in order for christ to increase. He also compared giant underwear to humility by saying "You have to have it, but just don't show it." Worship was really moving and Rafter Ball was rockin'!

YOUTH THIS WEDNESDAY...

2009-08-17T12:35:00.003-05:00

This week we will end our Wednesday night, "tour of pools" :) at the home of the Roberts family, 515 Kerfoot, Gunter TX.

Join us for some food, fun, swimming, and a word from the Word. 6:30 to 8pm.

The following Wednesday we will be back at Planet Old School, every Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:45. This school year we will begin making meals more of a special event rather than the weekly norm, so make sure you feed your face BEFORE you come to youth!

Whirleyball!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-07-09T11:09:00.003-05:00

I hope that everyone had as much fun playing Whirleyball as I did! Lots of good laughs and good fun…
No youth meeting on Wednesday night for the next couple of weeks, July 15 & July 22 :( ….But we’ll all go to Hawaiian Falls on the 29th!!! See the calendar for details.
I hope everyone continues to have a safe and fun summer and in all things we remember:
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory…Psalm 115:1

2009-06-18T12:50:00.001-05:00

This week we had a pool party at the Scales' house. We learned about the Trinity an watched Evan Almighty.

New Mexico Mission Trip 08

2008-07-06T21:45:00.004-05:00

So what can I say, this mission trip was AWESOME. I saw God do great things in the lives of our students, in those we were serving, and in my own life. So many good times, so many memories, so many “God moments”, I wish we were still there. And while we can’t be in New Mexico we CAN be on mission for God right here at home, we can pray for and remember those that we served. Those of us who went can be an encouragement to one another, to help us remember that what we saw and experienced REALLY HAPPENED, and that this was not just another week of the summer.
Also, for you guys who were there on the trip; that weird feeling that you have of missing someone that you only knew for a week, and feeling that sense of absence of family for those that you served with, I feel it too, lol, I think it’s cool. I look forward to the next time we can get together with the message and cause of Christ in mind….Can’t wait…love ya’ll!
And if you didn’t make the trip, I encourage you to pray about getting to a place where you are ready for something like this, or as ready as you can be, lol. It’s not just about “the week” it’s about the life that the week can ignite.
At the end of the day it’s all about Jesus, who never ceases to amaze us. Getting closer to Him and identifying with Him in new ways. To HIM be the honor and glory forever!
Thanks for reading,
Roy
