Teen Leader Retreat

We headed to the wilderness lodge to enjoy some great teaching by Mickey Hummel and Ms. Carletta...lotta :)  We also have had time to enjoy hanging out and swimming with friends this weekend.


When we arrived we ate BBQ, checked in our rooms and hit the swimming pool.  We had late night teaching & worship from 10-12pm.  Jonathan Russell blessed us by leading worship and then we dove into out teaching time.  We had chosen a teen study called " Dirty Jobs".  The study is based on our children's ministry verse Micah 6:8 " And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."  Last night we talked about living a life pleasing to God and what that would look like.We determined that WE are the plan to relieve the poor, the needy, and the sick. We're to reach out to those with no friends, those who feel like they don't belong, those who are made fun of and ridiculed, those who are desperate or hungry.  

This morning we explored what Jesus teaches us about doing justice and loving mercy.   " Jesus gets dirty".    He heals the sick, raises the dead, Cleansed the lepers and cast out demons!  
Matthew 9:37 "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.  Mathew 10:1 "Jesus summoned His disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of sickness"
