Here is the video we played before Ritchie got up to speak. In it you can see the members of our Growing Young Task Force, and the conclusions of their work:
Taking the next step in our life’s journey
The only way to have access to God is through the blood of Jesus.
Many times we listen to the wrong voices. The blood of Jesus speaks of better things on our behalf.
It’s important to match the cleansing agent with the stain. The blood of Jesus cleanses our sin stains.
Understanding our need for a scapegoat to take away our sins
When God sees the blood of Jesus, our sins are covered.
The promises of Jesus are guaranteed and backed by His blood.
We can all claim that we have faith. The Bible teaches us to show our faith.
Have you ever prayed to God and the answer was “No”? How to have faith when God says “no”.
Even when we are faithless, God is faithful.
Confident Faith is having the confidence that God is who He says He is.
Our faith is not based on the events of our circumstances. Our faith is based on the event of the Cross.
Taking a look at baptism from a different angle
Instead of waiting to die and get to heaven, we are to live as citizens of the kingdom of God everyday.
How do we devote ourselves fully to God, not just halfway? (Part of our WE ARE series)
We are called to be different from the world.
As ambassadors, we are God’s representatives on this earth.
