The Experience Day 2

This is a bit dry compared to the first one but the next weeks message will be better and on another subject.



Faith, Fellowship , and Understanding


During the Teen years it's hard to stay faithful. Which is why it's good to have fellowship with other Christians to help you stay focused. Among other things that we as Christians must do, we must be there for each other in the hard times and good times. One of things we forget is that even in the good times, those are some of the times we need the help of those christian friends to help us stay active in our faith. Sometimes even though we aren't going down hill and it seems like our faith is good, but that sometimes means were just standing still and could be doing so much more.There are things that stare us in the face and we think nothing about them, like Bullying/ Teasing others, or talking behind the back of others. Those are the chances that we have to be there for someone and to stick up for them, I'm sure there are other times.


Luke 6:27 Love for Enemies "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you" (NIV)


As we are called to serve God and love others as we Love ourselves, This also means loving our enemies and doing good to them even if they are wrong to us. This is one of the hardest things to do when there are many people out there who do or say things to others to make themselves feel better. But our job is to treat them better then they treat us. Show them through your actions that you are a Christian and that you care for everyone no matter what they've done to you.


Romans 5:3-4 "Not only so, but we[a] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope."(NIV)



We who must live in this world must endure the suffering and troubles but also must remember to live a faithful life for god and work hard and do all for Christ who lived in the world and endured the hate of the world for us. Live like he would and do everything thinking about what God thinks and not what the world thinks.
