  1. KNOWING GOD (Part 1)

  2. Only 5 % of Christians do some sort of daily devotions The Big Picture – we want to Know Him – not just about Him (I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings… - Phil 3:10) When in your life have you been the most satisfied? (or had the most joy) Have you ever been fully satisfied in Christ?

  3. THE TWO KEY INGREDIENTS TO KNOWING GOD • We Must Be Actively Engaged in God’s Word • We Must Be Vigorously Praying

  4. THOUGHTS ON DEVOTIONS The problem with Christianity is not that it’s been tried and found wanting, but that it’s been found difficult and left untried. G. K. Chesterton Have you ever come to your devotional time and not felt like doing devotions at all? Your youth pastor, Pastor, and the greatest Christians of all time have felt the same way – many days a week. CD

  5. IOUS Psalm 119:36 – Incline my heart to your testimonies and not to getting gain Psalm 119:18 – Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things from your Word Psalm 86:11 – Unite my heart to fear Your name Psalm 90:14 – Satisfy me in the morning with your steadfast love

  6. We ought to hold on – until God blesses – we must not give up We ought to share what God is doing – youth group is a chance for that Priorities Accountability is key How strong is your love? (youth group) Legalism Vs. Grace Write down your thoughts (and bring some of them to youth group)

  7. CLOSING THOUGHTS Use youth group as a chance to express what God is doing in you. Use it to encourage and challenge those around you. Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend. What if God had commanded us to have great sex every day?
