catch a grenade on holy saturday

April 23, 2011 in culture, student ministry, thoughts with Comments Off

every week for the past couple of months i’ve picked up a group of young men who are all freshman in high school to take to evo student ministry. and as it turns out, they’ve ended up in my small group each week…i’ve really grown to love who they are.  they have amazing talents and have open hearts and minds.  for the most part they’re still on a journey to figure out who Jesus is.  one of the hallmarks of our weekly roadtrip, since its about about 20 minute commute to the outpost, is their plugging in their ipods and listening through a dozen or so songs from artists like lil’ wayne and justin beiber.  one song that totally captures them is the song grenade  by bruno mars. its a lot of fun to hear them all singing their best voices to this contemporary songs. i’m thinking this rendition by the guys at Kennsington…puts its meaning in a whole new light.  amazing.

We forget…

Celebrating the brutality of the Cross at Evo Student Ministry this week

saw a post on facebook from the spiritual director of my walk to emmaus…pastor mike was sharing about his working today on a message for good friday from the perspective of someone who watched first hand the events of Good Friday unfold some 2,000 years ago.  pastor mike revealed that he was overcome with emotion as he realized that…

We forget the followers didn’t know about Easter on Good Friday.

and in that understanding i realized this week that there are many, even in this modern day, even in a local church, who don’t know the Story of the Passion of the Christ. As we shared that story this week at EVO I too am overwhelmed by the weight of what Jesus did for me…and my responsibility to lead others to the Cross so that they will have an understanding of the hope that comes because of what Jesus did and embrace the work of Christ for themselves.
