Offbeat week 1

"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."

Eph. 4:1

As we kick off a new series at Pursuit, emotions are at an all time high for students and leaders! Emotions that are those of anxious excitement! We had another record-high attendance Wednesday as we saw 178 STUDENTS, 25 NEW guests, 3 SALVATIONS, and 15 REDEDICATIONS. They continue to be fired up and rally together to get all their friends there! They are buying in to the GOSPEL and buying into seeing them MEET JESUS! Here's what all went down on Wednesday:

"If you all yourself a Christian, God has called you to live for Jesus."

"Jesus may live on the inside but He's to be portrayed on the OUTSIDE!"

"Our lifestyle should reflect our identity, so who are YOU?"

"If we're saved, we can't live like we're lost!"

"What we've received cost Jesus His LIFE while we were still considered His enemy!"

"Live like who are you ARE not who you've BEEN!" 

"The only time we should look down on people is to help pick them up!"

"Our LIPS & our LIFE HAVE to add up!"

"People aren't going to always read the bible. They're going to read YOU!"

"Be a world CHANGER not a world CHASER!"

The challenge for this series is to not "go with the flow", not live for the world, but live on a different level than the world. Live OFFBEAT! Our hearts should beat at a different level than the world's does!
