Fbcj Solid Youth

In preparation for his missions trip to the Philippines, senior Caleb Werstler studied out a message that God laid on his heart and was given the opportunity to share on 12/29/24.

We conclude our winter camp of "New Beginnings" by looking at where many of the Sr Highers have been for the past six months - in a new season. Pastor Jay highlights that this is an all-important phase of walking with God and we need to continue to embrace the new things that God does as we grow.

What's the next step after being a new creature? The realization that your whole world has changed. We are not to be like the world, but rather we are to stand in the gap in order to be used by God.

"Are you supernatural or not?" This is the foundational question to kick off our Winter Camp theme of "New Beginnings". Is there evidence that suggests you are a new creature?

Before the Lafferty's move into the College and Career Singles, Rick gives a heartfelt final message to the youth concerning their identity and purpose as a Sr High ministry.

In preparation for Winter Camp and the series that will follow, we are taking a look at the daily fight between our flesh and Spirit. In order to fight effectively, we need to understand the nature of this war specifically as it pertains to sin and self as the flesh seeks to regain control. Evaluate yourselves accordingly.

This is a message and testimony close to Cory's heart as we look at Jacob's wrestling match with God himself. Jacob walked away from that fight with a new beginning in his life, and this event serves as a heart-check for us going into winter camp. What is God stirring you to do?

In preparation for Winter Camp and the series that will follow, we are taking a look at the daily fight between our flesh and Spirit. In order to fight effectively, we need to understand the nature of this war specifically as it pertains to sin and self as the flesh seeks to regain control. Evaluate yourselves accordingly.

The Bible has always had science nailed down before the scientists and discoverers. In this message, we take a look at just a few major scientific discoveries and see how the Bible already told us about them well in advance as science is always catching up with the word of God!

We conclude our series with a heated shredding of the rest of the petals on the TULIP. We continue to look at Calvinists' twisted beliefs - in their own words no less! While packed with doctrine, you'll still find some devotional nuggets in here as we look at God's eternal plan for all those who would receive and believe him (Jn. 1:12).

This message has us looking at fulfilled prophecies concerning Christ. The Bible is no ordinary book, and Jesus was no ordinary man! The end has a nice little illustration to use when witnessing to your friends concerning the odds of one person fulfilling the prophecies that Christ did.

Have you ever "Liked" a social media short or reel by a person preaching the Bible very similarly to how we and other likeminded churches preach? Chances are, they were likely Calvinistic preachers. Unfortunately, the term "bible-believers" is accredited more with Calvinists than it is with those who actually believe the Bible in its proper context and rightly divided. Tune in to find out why.

The second aspect that makes the Word of God supernatural is its impeccable record of prophecy. Of course, what's a prophecy without its historical fulfillment? Here we take a look at just a few of them further proving that the Bible is in fact a HISTORY book, and not a religious one.

This 4-week miniseries serves as a great follow up to our soul-winning study. Often times when we encounter someone who doesn't believe the Bible, it can be difficult for us to win them over using the Bible when their mind is already made up on the issue. The 3 points of this series will help to stop their mouths (Romans 3:19; Titus 1:11)

The last few weeks, we've role-played street evangelism in class. As we wrap up this series on soul-winning, we look at some reminders that will hopefully serve as a locker room pre-game hype before taking the gospel out to the world. On this day, we went to the mall after church to witness...who will you take the gospel to after listening?

Have fun with the PowerPoint slides...You might as well thrown in 18th, 19th, & 20th Century Philosophers into the mix. Recognize it or not, these philosophies and their sub-groups have permeated us and helped make us the Laodiceans that we are today. Here, we look at how they grew to popularity.

Do you receive the Spirit at baptism? Is baptism the vehicle that provides the forgiveness, salvation, and grace of Christ? These are questions to ask anyone you suspect that might believe in baptismal regeneration (baptism for salvation). We look at all verses that supposedly support this belief and rightly divide it out.

We conclude Pentecostalism by looking at what the Bible within its proper context and rightly divided concerning their doctrines. We look at why the sign gifts are NOT applicable for today as well as conclude with the genuinely frightening reality concerning these gifts.

History is important. The time in which Pentecostalism begins to show up is no accident. In part 1, we cover the history & authorities and begin to dive into some of the doctrines concerning this ever popular movement.

There is an element of this message that we hope will forever change the way you evangelize. It is an element that has revolutionized our missionary's field in London, and we pray it does the same here. Today, we come to the focal point of soul-winning: stirring up the boldness to ASK.
