Fbcj Solid Youth

*Download our new SOLID Devotional here!* We can grow so accustomed to the Bible stories that happen to adults that we forget how many occur during the teen years. We kick off this study looking at a 17-year-old who possessed impeccable character which God then used to not only bring his family together, but to "save many people alive".

It's a new day and a new group that comprises SOLID. We all need reminded of who we are and why we do what we do. This time, we glean an example from the Scriptures to help us understand our role in the body of Christ.

The last words of Joshua serve as both a send-off message to our seniors as well as a charge to the underclassmen: when you cleave unto the Lord, you will be a force to be reckoned with. But if you choose to cleave to the world and your flesh, you'll find out that God is very good at keeping his commitments.

A common thread for many of us from camp was "boldness". Today we take a look at some passages on the topic that aren't your typical Sunday School verses as well as an example of the wrong kind of boldness.

Here in Daniel 6, a plot has been set against Daniel in an attempt to take his life. Daniel is put in a position where he must make a decision: stay committed to the Lord or succumb to the pressure.

We conclude our miniseries in the book of Numbers by gleaning principles found within the book. With the school year done, this message serves as a heart-check going into camp; to evaluate ways we may be wandering so that we go into next week ready for the fight.

In order for the walls of obstruction to fall in our lives, we first must fall. When Joshua encountered the Lord Jesus Christ in Gilgal, there were certain things God revealed to him face-to-face concerning the things in the way. In order for us to reach where God is leading us, we must change our perspective by looking at the Savior!

Numbers 32 is another watershed chapter that very well could have led to another 40 years of wandering had Gad and Reuben not made the right choice. Are you settling down in your Christian walk, or are you still in the fight?

We've had 4 of our own go on Discipleship Mission trips lately. We're going to hear from them as well as two more awesome open doors that came up this past week.

On paper, Balaam and Phinehas have more in common than meets the eye. In this message we take a deep dive into both men's lives. Ask yourself: who are you when you're under pressure? When you're being put to the test, what's inside of you comes out, as was the case with Balaam and Phinehas.

The things Paul counted as "dung" when he saw Christ represent things you and I still struggle with after salvation. This message looks at four elements of pride that Paul surrendered at the foot of the cross, and they're four elements that we need to combat daily.

Everyone knows the story of Korah...few know the story of his sons and how they refused to let the past define them. Hear their legacy beyond the wilderness and glean from your own life applications for things outside your control.

We were going to continue our study, but events of this week altered the course of the message. God isn't done speaking to us about the self-life and the self-sins that we allow to rule inside of us.

Here we look at our first few warriors of the book of Numbers who stood up and refused to wander like the rest. Are you "of another spirit" (Num. 14:24)? Have you "wholly followed the Lord" this school year (Josh. 14:8)? If you've lost steam to finish well then this message is for you!
