NYMC: Day Three
Day Three. Not really much different than Day Two. Worship was done by Station 2 and the devotional was given by Duffy Robbins (by the way, Duffy Robbins is one of my favorite youth workers. His love and passion for students is contagious. If you haven’t picked up his book, The Ministry of Nurture, do so).
Today, we were back into the 8-hour track intensives. Rahn and Klein are doing a fabulous job. I am thankful I chose this track. My hope is to make it applicable to our (Olentangy School District) current expanding dilemma. To many schools, to few youth pastors in them.
Tonight, we had the privilege of hearing from Doug Fields, founder of Simply Youth Ministry and Teaching Pastor at Saddleback Community Church. He challenged us with taking simple coins in our pocket and using them to remember God’s faithfulness to us. Here were his points:
P–Past (Ephesians 1.6-7; Colossians 1.13-14)
N–Now (Romans 8.11; 15.13)
D–Determined Destiny (John 5.24; Romans 5.21)
Q–Quality Growth (Matthew 13.4-8)
This talk was a great challenge for me to remind myself of how great God has and is and will be in my life. Next time you look at the coins in your pocket, remind yourself of God’s faithfulness.
