Last night was one of the best nights ever at Alive. We had 240 students, 11 first-timers and 25 adults! We had a time of worship that was UNBELIEVABLE! I am amazed that I get to do this for a living. In the middle school service we had students going after Jesus some for the first time.
The message was basically to get to an intense place of worship we must surrender, submit and become shameless! Since it is our own agendas and pride that block us from truly worshiping Jesus it is going to take Surrendering unto the Lordship of Christ, Submitting your life to him and becoming shameless in our expression of our love for an almighty God
The foundational scripture was Gal 2:20, so during a creative moment we had students go to the crosses and leaders placed a red dot on their hands signifying their submission to Christ. After the MS service I heard there were girls in the bathroom crying and looking down at their hands. Loving Jesus.
In the HS service students were once again GOING AFTER IT! Towards the end of the service the band (which did an amazing job) punched it and dozens of hands went STRAIGHT UP! I have never seen that many students going after Jesus that hard before. It was amazing.
You should have been there…and if you are not serving anywhere and you go to Pointe North, I mean that quite literally.
