Identity Theft!!!

Our current HSM series, "Identity Theft" started yesterday and was pretty sweet! Studying and preparing for this series has been so good for me! It's crazy how much you learn as you prepare to teach. Here are some key thoughts from Week 1.

-A lie believed as truth will affect you as if it were true.

-Satan will do EVERYTHING he can to steal your God-given identity and convince you that you need status, popularity, looks, possessions, recognition, accomplishments, and 100000000 Facebook friends in order to have meaning and significance in your life.

-If I'm a Christian (accepted His sacrifice on the cross as the ONLY payment for my sin) then the only equation that matters is ME+CHRIST....THAT is what gives me meaning and significance!

-2 Cor. 5:16-17 says it so clearly!

-What I DO doesn't determine WHO I AM....WHO I AM determines what I will DO! (Eph. 2:10)

-Once I'm spiritually born, NOTHING can steal my identity and change the way God sees me! NOTHING!!

This is HUGE! If we can understand and embrace the true and irrevocable identity that we have in and through Christ, we'll experience the freedom and victory that only He provides!

Tell Me What You Thought

Saturday was.....ummm....what's the word I'm looking for?????? Oh! "LEGIT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had so much fun hanging out with all of the HSM peeps who went to see "Expelled" with us. Not just seeing the movie...while eating Sour Patch Kids and getting a numb tongue, but also being together for the afternoon was awesome. I really loved the discussions that took place after. I wish I could have talked with everyone to see what they thought of the film.

So......what DID you think?

Has this movie brought up any interesting discussions between you and others?

Tell me! Tell me!

"Subscribe!" saith the Lord

Thanks to my awesome friend Matt and the post he put on HIS BLOG, there is now a way to subscribe to the HSM blog! The world of postcards, copy machines, and paper cuts is far too dangerous for a guy like me to be in. So, we'll be going paperless as much as we can. And plus...licking a 100 envelopes makes my tongue numb!
It's a new season of life! And I can sleep at night knowing that there's a few trees still standing somewhere. Makes me proud!

We'll try to provide all the info you need regarding upcoming events including links to things you may need. OK......now be good and go subscribe!
