So, there I was as any great story begins. Ha ha thats a joke for some of you. Any who, tonight we had youth, as usual on Sunday night at 6. Tonight was different. Normally we play a song then a game then songs then sermon then leave. Tonight it was amazing and it didn’t have to do with the order of service. God’s presence  was more abundant and just every where. After the band played the set the sermon was delivered. Tonights sermon was the second part to the Come As You Are series it was about invitations. There was a passage read from the bible it was Luke 14:15-24 the parable of the great banquet. If you haven’t read it its a great a story of basically how we should be. We should go out and invite people no matter what they look like to come and meet Jesus and eat at his banquet(be with Him in heaven). It was a challenge for the students to invite people to meet Jesus. God greatly interrupted at the end of the sermon. There is a story of invitation so God said “Invite them!” So we offered up prayer and prayed the sinners prayer for the first time as a youth ministry. AMAZING turn out!!!!! We had 6 students commit their lives to Christ that night. It wasn’t planned, but that’s just how He works right! That’s why I love being a youth pastor. That’s why I do what I do. It could have been one person and I know it still would have had the same if not more of an impact on me. Not only did God work in the student’s hearts He worked in mine. Completely broken. I’m so pumped! I want to go and get more so we can all one day celebrate in heaven. I told the students tonight God isn’t picky and there’s plenty of room in heaven. Let’s fill the place up! I just now need to pray that this fire in the students and in me stays blazing. It’s so hard to keep that going. But I know God has some great things planned with this ministry as He does for all. It was crazy awesome to see students worship like they do. It’s going to be even CRAZIER to see what they do next week. OCTOBER 4th Sunday night we are going to be doing something TOTALLY different. Service will last from 6-8 instead of 730. Be sure to be there and be sure to pack some diapers you may pee yourself from all the excitement!!!!!!  Be there!!!!
