Youtube Tuesday..but it's Wednesday

Ok I know I have been slacking on my posts, I have just been hired full time at my job, and it is hard to stay on trac sometimes, but by the grace of God I'm back and posting again. haha. Well back to my youtube video of the week. This video has been sweeping the youtube world like none other, and maybe you have seen this video already. I heard about Susan Boyle on the radio yesterday and thought wow this is the video I need to post. A couple weeks ago the youth was taught about not judging a book by it's cover, and how important it is not to judge others first. Matthew 7:1-5 reads, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Wow how often do we judge others, before we look at our own sleves. It is something that we struggle with everyday, and this video shows good proof of that. May we all strive to become more like Christ in this area everyday!


(on a side note: if other youth leaders or volunteers are reading my blog this is a great video to show your teens and teach them about not judging others!)

Coffee Break

Since the bank isn't that busy I find myself wanting to encourage you with these words:

We're coming up on Easter Sunday!

I Cor 15:1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

WOW! That is the essense of our faith.

It's awesome that Paul writes about priority of the death burial and ressurection.

Easter is by far my favorite holiday and this is the reason why. Hope you enjoyed this week's coffee break!!
