Last time we missed alot of you! Jump back in or jump in for the first time. Here is mine:
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:1-4

AWANA Win from Mrs. Cherry
This happened in Awana last week. God is so good!!! How awesome that one of the our kids was able to pray with her friend and that Mrs. Cherry was there to follow up.
Tim's lesson tonight was a gospel presentation. He made the point that the Holy Spirit is who helps you understand spiritual things and that you can hear a story or a message over and over and not really "get it" until the Holy Spirit makes it click.
Then Tim went into the fact that some people may have heard the message before and not really "gotten it" and some people have already asked Jesus into their hearts and can use this presentation as a way to share with someone else and maybe lead them to Christ.
He presented the gospel using chain and talked about how many people see the good things they do in their lives as links in their chain. However, even if we only did one bad thing, the chain is only as strong as the weakest link. He used a paper link in a metal chain and tried to lift something heavy and of course it didn't move. That is why we need Jesus. Jesus takes all the weak links and makes it all new and strong. He gives us a new life when we ask for a relationship with Him. (That is a real quick summary).
Anyway, Amy, a second grader, came to me with her friend Brianne. She wanted to tell me that she had talked to Brianne after Mr. Tim's lesson and that she had prayed with her and Brianne asked Jesus into her heart. As a grown up, I felt like follow up was needed, however, after talking with the girls, Brianne really understood. Brianne said she had asked Jesus to take away the bad things in her life and to forgive her and help her have a new life (like Mr. Tim talked about with the chain). She said that she had asked Jesus to come into her heart and that she became a Christian. Amy was just beaming! She was so excited because she had been able to pray with her friend, just like Mr. Tim had said they could do.

1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
