I'm going to miss everyone tomorrow and next week at JAM, but I know you are all looking forward to the turkey as I am. I am certainly thankful for all of you and what JAM is all about.
Just wanted to leave you with a tidbit of info about the whole idea of the church like we were talking about last week. The Church is all about the Kingdom of God. When Jesus came, He announced the coming of the new Kingdom of God: the Kingdom where God rules and makes everything new through Jesus. Everything is under His authority: people, nations, world, and universe is all His. Jesus brought the announcement that the Kingdom of God is here. There will come the day where Jesus will return when He will set up His Kingdom to last into eternity. Between that time when Jesus announced the Kingdom and the coming of His eternal Kingdom is our time: the Church's time! No one can visibly see the Kingdom of God except through the Church. We make the invisible visible through our acts together. We are to show the world what the Kingdom is all about and what a joy it will be like when it comes. So let's stand strong together and give God many thanks for giving us His glorious Kingdom! I can't wait until that day when Jesus returns and establishes His reign forever, let's look forward to that day and prepare ourselves for that glorious day. There's an awesome song by Jeremy Camp called "There Will Be a Day" that's all about the coming Kingdom of God, write me an e-mail if you'd like it and I'll send it to you!!
Hey Dudes,
I had an awesome time at JAM this past Wednesday. All of your questions were great! You don't even know how incredibly deep some of them were, I'm talking serious philosophy and theology. I really enjoyed that time. Don't ever stop asking those kinds of questions, God doesn't want us to believe in Him on blind faith. He gave us brains for a reason, let's use them! So please don't be afraid to ask questions about our faith. The more questions we get answered, the stronger we will become and we can then use those answers to help other people come to know Jesus. If you do have any more questions, leave a comment on this blog or shoot me an e-mail at rweber@covechurch.org and I will get right back to you. Always know that whatever comes across your mind, even if your parents or your JAM leader or I don't know, there are answers out there that we can go find together.
I taught a couple of you guys how to read minds yesterday, it was awesome. We can all read your minds on Wednesday if you want. I am not going to lie, it is pretty intense and you will not believe your eyes. I will ask you the hardest questions on the planet and I guarantee that I will get at least two out of three questions right. I'm that good.
Ok, I just got done editing a video for this weekend and I wanted to share it with all my JAM peeps, so here it is!!
Ah, yes, isn't it lovely... Hope to see you guys this weekend.
