God Takeover

¹³ Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. ¹⁴ As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.¹⁵ While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. ¹⁶ When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
¹⁷ On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:13-17

I'm writing this post for two reasons: 1. being that my husband told asked me to and 2. being that its too good not to write about. But let's be honest, I'm a lazy blogger 95% of the time and it takes a little nagging encouraging from my husband to do it. So, lets go.

As we begin to wrap up our Pursuit series, God Takeover, he's truly taking over. He's taking over the lives of His students at Team Church as well as taking over the seats in the building. Like I've said before, Hux and I are numbers people for several reasons that I've talked about before. If we don't continue to see growth in attendance and growth in the hearts of our students then we aren't doing our jobs! But our students are on fire and bringing carloads of friends with them as we have gone from 105 students to 154 students in the past 3 weeks! Praise The Lord! 

Our faith in God grows with every salvation we see come through Pursuit. Last night 10 students chose Jesus for the first time and 6 students decided to follow Him closer and rededicate their lives. I love seeing the students party, jump, and scream as students stand to receive Jesus! It's like no other. 

If you missed last night...

"When someone is spiritually sick, so we run to help or do we flee the scene?"
"We have to go into the mess to bring people out of mess!"
"Jesus went after the people we run from!"
"Jesus didn't wait for someone to come to Him, He went to them!"
"Sin makes us sick! It's so serious that Jesus died for it!"
"Jesus isn't MAD at you He's MADLY in love with YOU!"

Keep praying for the next generation!

They're going to CHANGE the WORLD!
