Guest Speaker Announced

Hey to all the youth of Eagle Heights Church! As many of you know, on December the 4th, Eagle Heights Church is sponsoring a church lock-in for the Eagle Heights youth. I also have been talking with many of you about a possible guest speaker and I know that you all are dying to find out who it is. Well, the guest speaker has been confirmed but, you will have to wait until Sunday to find out who it is! Just kidding! After much prayer and petition, current Kansas City Royals outfielder and Pulaski County native Josh Anderson will be coming to share his heart for Jesus. Come and please bring lots of friends. God Bless.

As the storm waged and the waves broke over the boat and filled it with water His disciples woke Him saying, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" Jesus got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "quiet, be still!" Then the waves calmed down and it was completely calm. Sometimes the storms of this life leave us with no hope and all seems lost. Sometimes it even seems as if Jesus is sleeping during our storms. The truth of the matter is Jesus still cares and he wants to calm the storms in your life today.

The Neighborhood

We are meeting at the church at 5:15pm, then we'll be leaving to go to
The Neighborhood, a local care center for the elderly. Great
opportunity....

Bring $ for food/icecream after. We'll arrive back at the church at
8:30.

See you tomorrow!

The Leper

and the Leper said to Jesus, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus responded, "I am willing," and he touched the man and he was immediately healed of his leprosy. Not only did Jesus heal the Leper, but by touching him, Jesus defied the law of his day which prohibited touching someone who was unclean and he did this all for the sake of Love. So, my question to you is, who have you loved today? Join us on Wednesday night at the Eagle Heights Middle School meeting to find out more.

The Beatitudes

This Wednesday Night the youth of Ealge Heights will be discussing the Beatitudes. In Exodus Chapter 3 God reveals himself to Moses in a burning bush after being silent for 400 years. God tells Moses to go and tell Pharaoh to let his people go after these 400 years of slavery. Moses is scared though and instead starts making excuses (like we all do) about why he can't do this vaunting task that God has given him. During this conversation, Moses asks God what his name is. Until this point in history Moses' people the Israelites had only known God by one name which was Yahweh. Most of the Israelites were even scared to call him by this name. So, when Moses asked God what his name was God replied to Moses, " I am who I am, tell them I AM sent you." God goes on to tell Moses that this will be his name forever and ever. The two names mentioned for God here, Yahweh and I AM, both have a sub meaning which is TO BE since GOD has always been. Thus, in scriptures when we see the word BE we can literally translate it for GOD.
Now to the discussion of the BE Attitudes. Did you catch it? Yes, the BE Attitudes can literally be translated, the GOD Attitudes. These attitiudes which were given by Jesus at the Sermon on the Mountain or as it is more precisely known The Sermon on the Mount are a blueprint for happiness. If we can live by these GOD Attitudes we will be sure to find true happiness that comes from GOD. Join us Wednesday night at 7:00 P.M. in the upper room of the student building to find out more about the GOD Attitudes.

RELIGION OR THE HOLY SPIRIT?

Last Wednesday I spoke to the Eagle Heights Youth about religion. In John chapter 3, the popular Pharisee Nicodemus came to Jesus in the night. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and one of the head Pharisee's at that. In order to be a Pharisee, Nicodemus would have memorized the first four books of the bible word for word. He also would have been required to keep the Sabbath, fast two times a week, pray every day, tithe ten percent of his income and God knows what else. But, when Nicodemus came to Jesus, Jesus saw through all of the religion that Nicodemus had and told him that he must be born again. In the last days, Jesus tells us in Matthew Chapter 7:22 that many people will come to him saying, "Lord Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name did we not cast out demons and perform many miracles?" Then Jesus tells us that he will respond by saying, "In never knew you, go away from me you evildoers!" In effect, in those last days, many of us will come to Jesus with our religion saying things like, I was baptized, I always tithed ten percent of my income, I did good things in your name Jesus. But, unfortunately, these things will not get us into heaven and Jesus will say, get away from me I never knew you. Why? Because you never gave your heart to Jesus. Jesus appreciates all the good things that we do, but above all, he wants our hearts and our lives. Maybe right now, if you want, you could give your heart and life to Jesus. If you did, may God Bless You. Please comment and tell me what you think.
