Varsity

Mike Hepola rocked our socks off last night at Varsity. He did the 4th message in our series Xtreme Life. The kids loved it and they were blown away when we gave away an Xbox 360 for the guys and a day at the spa for the girls.

Text Me!

This makes me happy. Anyone in the world can send me a txt message by sending it to joshbradley@vtext.com. That is freakin awesome.

Homeless on Tuesday

We took some of our students to the Triune Mercy Center tonight to minister to the homeless people here in Greenville. It was great. Some students are really stretched by the experience and some are right at home. I love to see these guys acting like Jesus. It would be hypocritical to travel to another country to do mission work and forget about the people right here in our own city.

Monday: Not Long Enough

I don't know about you but it seems that Mondays fly by so fast that it seems like it never happened. I started working early this morning and I am lying in my bed right now trying to finish up. We need longer days on Mondays!

We did Led Zeppelin at Church Today!

Stairway to Heaven introduced the message about the life of Jacob. Pretty cool.

Varsity Leaders

I have the greatest group of adult leaders in the world. Last night we spent some time hanging out and talking about how we can better connect with students. We hooked up my laptop to a 46 inch flat panel and did a training session on Facebook and how to txt message from an email address. Bottom line is that the Adults at the Varsity are passionate about loving teenagers and connecting them to Jesus. How do you connect to the people around you?

Here is what God is teaching me.

It is easy to love people who are nice. Loving mean people however, is another story. It seems like I am constantly confronted with opportunities to love people. It is hard. It is not fun. I don't like loving people who are mean. God is helping me. I find direction in this verse.

I Corinthians 13:1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Free Xbox

I am on my way.
