Bible Trivia

In honor of our current series The Seed, here's question #2:

In Mark 4:11-12 He [Jesus] told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that,“ ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’” NIV

Where can these same words (in bold red) be found in the Old Testament?

Awesome Sunday

Thank you to all who came out this morning, and thank you to Holly and Kevin for sharing a great message. Please get into the Word daily and continue to plant seeds in the lives of your unsaved friends and family. Remember you may be the only "Jesus" they ever meet.
Check out the Seed Devotional daily and don't forget to bring your Bible next week.
See you on Wednesday for Trunk or Treat at 5:00 to help set up. Look for David and his "Cowboy" truck. He will organize you for refilling vehicles with candy. Call us if you have any questions 305.527.3258.

T.G.I.F.

Hey Guy's , how is everyone? I can't wait for this weekend. We will be having a special guest speaker. I'm so stoke to see what God is going to do with our group. Ok guys, stay strong and keep God first. Enjoy the weekend. We will see you on Sunday. God bless

Bible Trivia

Okay, Sarah got #2, check out the comments to see what the correct answer was. Since our new series, THE SEED, is about getting into the word of God, I thought I'd throw in a few Bible trivia questions to get you looking. So here's the first one.

Who is Tirzah and what book, chapter and verse is the name found?

Trivia #2

Okay, these questions will be tricky. You'll need to think outside the box. The answer to the first Trivia was PAINT. While glass is how you build a greenhouse (1 word), Paint is how you build a green house (2 words). So with that in mind, here's another. Remember it won't be as obvious as you think.

Where does the general keep his armies?
1. In the barracks
2. In the bin
3. Up his sleevies
4. Madagascar

Remember to think outside the box, and leave your name with the answer.

Here is a teaser for our next series

Taken from Chad Swanzy's blog (FRC Cooper City):

On November 24th we are beginning a series called "MIRACLES." This series will run until December 20th. We will talk about the feeding of the 5,000, turning the water into wine, the birth of Christ, and the ressurection. The tagline, "WHAT IF WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE?" Gives me a chance to help students think about the implications for themselves. Our online collobaration starts next week among teachers, campus pastors, and support staff.

During this series I am thinking that we can make available in the back some sheets about little easy to make miracles that students can do around the holidays. Here are a few ideas.

• Knock on someone's door who's yard needs mowed and ask if they can mow it.


• Cook a full course meal, place in nicely sealed in a gift sack and deliver to a homeless person with parent consent.


• Pay for a person's meal who is eating by themselves.


• Write an encouraging note to a staff member or volunteer.


• Serve in Children's or Preschool Ministry at a Christmas Eve service.


• Offer free babysitting to a family.

Can anyone think of other things that can be a miracle for someone at the right moment?

Stupid Trivia

Which of the following do you need to build a green house?
A. Glass
B. Brick
C. Paint

Don't Miss the next Series

The next series starting next weekend is about a pretty scary story Jesus told. You’re probably saying “What? Jesus told a scary story?” Yes and probably the scariest story you could ever hear.

Eagles vs. Cowboys

This week's game is between the Pastor Dave & Shane. Cowboys vs. Eagles. I think that the Cowboys will win this one. The Cowboys have a much better team!!! Hahahaha!!!!!!

Are you out there?

Hey. Anyone there? Leave a comment and win a prize. What's the prize? Don't know. But it is something and something is better than nothing! Make sure you include your name so we know who you are.

Who Me?

This week is all about insecurities. Something everyone deals with especially during the teen years. There is so much pressure to be a certain way, look a certain way, that we sometimes sacrifice our own integrity to find security and acceptance with things like promiscuity, drugs, crime, and other foolishness.. Remember its okay to have weaknesses, that's when we need to rely and rest on God the most.

Don't allow your insecuities to rule your world. Don't compromise your priniciples to cover up your weakness. Acknowledge them, lay them at God's feet and find strength in Him to press on dispite your fears. Be brave, remember your bravery may be the thing that allows your peers to take a stand as well. No one wants to stand alone, but often the person willing to stand up first will quickly find themselves surround by others.

Insecurity is sometimes just fear. Its the fear of being alone, of not being accepted - but why would you want to be like everyone else? You were uniquely and purposely created by God. He knows you, He knows everything you do, think, and say. He is always with you.

Also remember when those around you persecute you they are often covering up for their own insecurites. Ever heard the saying "Misery loves company?" If you're unhappy, the last thing you want is to be around other people who are happy. So I'm miserable, I'm going to make sure you're miserably too. Look at them through the eyes of Christ. It will be easier to see their own insecurities, perhaps problems at home and it will be easier to pray for them and ignore their insults.

The winners are...

Well actually the losers... our Gutter King & Queen. We missed those of you who weren't there. Hopefully we'll see you at the next event coming November. Click the flickr to see photos from our bowling excursion.

Who will be crowned?

Hey, don't forget bowling tomorrow! We'll start right at 1:15 so don't be late! We're going to make this a little competition. So come ready to bowl. What's the prize? A stupid tshirt. Do your best and we'll crown the winner right then and there! See you there!
