Disciples

Standard

To believe in God with your mind is not enough. You conciously need to enter into a relationship with God spending time in God’s word and prayer. Today’s devotion was on disipleship. Our team focused on the 12 disciples and what we could learn from these ordinary men who through the power of the holy spirit did extraordinary things. Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer before choosing the 12 disciples. John 6:70, “did I not choose all of you’re my 12” His minstry was based on his selection, there was no Plan B. Our devotion went through each of the 12 disciples from Peter to Judas often providing new insights to our own Pender diciples here in Poland.

At Worship service that evening we decided to do a skit where our youth participated in a game to see who was paying attention about the 12 disciple facts we went over in the morning. Three teams, Team “NOAH competition (becausae we have no competition), “JOB Well Done” and ROOFKIE (Ant in Polish) had to pop a balloon to be the first to answer the question. Lets just say our youth must have been a little tired in the morning. Below are the quiz questions, do you know your 12 disciples? And no Ben, Nathanial was not the overly logical thinker. Paastor Z… gave a sermon on never stop dreaming and being a learner. Our master and teacher in heaven has a plan for us and wants us to actively seek him first. End of the service was filled with dancing and singing followed by a late night NED vs ARG soccer match.
