Youth Gathering - 24th January 2014

Pastor Bill Duncan from Hawaii sharing with the youths today at youth gathering 

Q: How are we created?

A: We are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27 - So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.)

Simply because we are created in God's image, we have the responsibility to talk and be like God.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

Reflection: 

There are times that we think that we can do what ever we want to do. This is my body. I can do as I pleased. But...

We have to remember that: We are not our own. Our body is loan to us by our creator. 

We need to prayerfully allow the Holy Spirit to lead our life. Our body is the temple of God.

Where ever we go, whatever we do, We have to remember that Holy Spirit is in us and we have to protect our body to destroy our body - the temple of God.

Listening while Pastor Bill is sharing

Ephesian 6: 1-3 

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honour your father and mother"--which is the first commandment with a promise-- "so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."

This is a promise that God gave to every single of His believer. Yes. Sometimes the things that our parents say may not be right or relevant to us, but we are obligated to be their children and to obey them and respect them while we are still living on earth.

WATCH YOUR LIFE:

W - Watch your WORDS! 

When you get angry at someone, words might come out then you might regret it for as long as you live. You can never take back the words once you say it out.

A - Watch your ACTIONS! 

Watch how you act or react.

T - Watch your THOUGHTS!

The way we think about things. When you think of what you think in your heart, that's how you gonna live your life.

C - Watch your COMPANIONS!

Who you hang out with, They can either build you up or they can tear you down. They can encourage you to be strong or they can call you to let your God down. Peer pressure.

H - Watch your HABITS!

Drinks, Tobacco, Drugs, Pornography, etc.

Whatever you do, just remember that: God is either feel honoured, or heart-broken!
