Starting Early Tonight

Hey Everyone! Hope your ready for a good night!

We will be starting at 6:30 tonight to begin going around the neighborhood with flyers about the City Mission Youth Group Challenge! At 7:30 we will have a bonfire with smores! Don't miss it! If you can't be here by 6:30 it's ok. Someone will be here waiting for you :)

time to Ripple Effect over our community!

June Series


Ever throw a stone into a calm pool of water? What happens? It makes ripples! It takes a dead and lifeless pool of water and brings life to it.

As Christians our lives are supposed to do the same thing. We live in a dead and lifeless world. Jesus came and stirred things up and then gave His disciples the same job. "Go into all the world and make disciples" - Mark 16:15-18. Jesus created a ripple effect that's not stopped to this day. Daily people are turning to Christ and receiving life.

The question is are you as a follower of Jesus making ripples? Are you bringing life to people? If you're not then Decision is where you need to be. The way we do it is by loving our neighbor as ourselves. So to help you start making ripples we are partnering with the City Mission this month to help love our community.

It's going to be a blast so don't miss it! You were created to do something Great! We will be starting early so be to Decision by 6:15PM

What's Up?

What's up Everybody!!!? I hope you had a great night last night at Decision. Paul Luciano rocked it out!

Understanding money and God's plan for it is vital! If you will follow God's plan He promises you will never have to live in poverty. When you give Him control and become a tither and a giver, He will open the windows of Heaven to bless you! God will give you knowledge and wisdom on how to use money, so you never end up in debt. It's that serious! It's that good! God is good and faithful always!

Next week is going to be a very important week, so please please don't miss Decision! And also don't forget Mother's Day this Sunday!!!

Love you guys!

Here We Go!

Hey everyone!!!

Tonight begins our Money Money Money series! We have a guest speaker, Paul Luciano, gonna be bringin it down tonight. You won't want to miss it.

Also we had a huge success on our Max & Erma's Fundraiser on Monday. We made a profit of 205$. Wooohoooo! Thanks to everyone who handed out flyers. Our next big restaurant fundraiser is May 28th at Chick-Fil-A! Lets keep up the good work!

Summer Getaway is just around the corner! Sign up tonight. We still have spaces and plenty of ways for you to earn money to go.

Lastly this Sunday is Mother's Day! How many of you love your momma's? If you do leave a comment! We will be handing out mother's day gifts to all our moms at church on Sunday, so dress nice for your mommies!!!

Money Money Money!!!


May is our Money Month!!! Who doesn't like money? You can't really do anything without it. It's a major part of our lives. But if we're not careful it can become a master. Millions of people are bound by the desire to have Moooooore! Millions of people are bound by debt because they mishandled money.

This month we are going to explore God's side of the money issue. God created money and He has a specific way for us to live our lives with it, so that money doesn't become our Master. He has a way for you to be able to have money and be blessed as a teenager! That's right, you don't have to wait till you've graduated college and find a good job to be able to be a Master of Money!

You don't want to miss Decision at all this month!!!

Fundraisers!!!

To help pay for Summer Getaway 09, we have implemented some fundraisers. Some are to cover the cost of the trip, others are to help you pay for the trip. We need EVERYONE'S participation to keep the cost where its at.

Here they are:

Decision Luncheons
1. Sunday - May 17th - All funds will help pay for the total cost of SG09


Restaurant Fundraisers
How it works: We will hand out as many flyers as possible to our friends and family. Take the flyer to the restaurant on the appropriate day and the restaurant will give us a percentage of your bill. Flyers can be picked up at Decision for distribution. So if your going to eat out, eat at the following!

1. Buffalo Wild Wings - Mon, April 27th, All Day - 15% of your bill goes to pay for SG09

2. Max & Erma's - Mon, May 4th, All Day - 20% of your bill goes to pay for SG09

3. Chik-Fil-A - Thurs, May 28th, 5PM-8PM - 20% of your bill goes to pay for SG09


Rent-a-Teen
The Bible says if you don't work, you don't eat. We could translate it, if you don't work you might not get to go on SG09, so we've set up a way to stop that from happening.

With Rent-a-Teen, simply sign up at Decision and fill out the permission slip. Upon doing so we will find you work, from people in our church, who are willing to pay you to do it.

Very simple...You Work = You Get $ cha ching!

There are guidelines that apply to keep you safe.

Post soon!

April Series - I Pity The Fool

The fool hath said in his heart there is no God. - Psalm 14:1

Mr. T coined the phrase...I pity the fool! The question is who really is a fool? The Bible makes it clear that a fool is someone who believes in his heart there is no God. Ever come across someone who said, "I don't believe in God." Or maybe they've asked you, "How do you know God exists?" Maybe you've asked yourself that question.

For the whole month of April we will be talking about God: Is there really a God? Is Jesus really the Messiah? And how do I talk about God and prove He exists. There's nothing wrong with questioning. It's when we choose not to believe truth when it's staring us in the eyes.

This month is sure to answer some of your questions and build your faith in who you believe in.

Thursday, March 5, 2009

What's up! I hope you all had a good time last night.

There was a lot we talked about concerning the last days. To sum it up though it goes like this: we are living in the last days before Jesus comes back and sets up His never ending kingdom. The world is going to turn completely against God. As it does a man called the Antichrist will rise to power unifying the world under himself as god. Because of this God's wrath will be released and a Great Tribulation full of unimaginable plagues will come upon the earth and man - Rev 6-19. The Antichrist will form an army and try to fight against God, but Jesus will come in all His glory, destroy the Antichrist and Satan, and establish Heaven on earth. At this time He will judge mankind based on our Decision to accept Jesus or not.

We also said before the Great Tribulation there would be a rapture of the Church...all of us who currently follow Jesus - 2Thes 2:1-8. 1thes 5:9 tells us God has not appointed us to wrath. He will remove us and take us from this earth to be with Him before that terrible time.

What does this mean? We need to be ready and seriously follow Jesus. The time of Jesus' return is not known to us. This means we must live each day like Jesus could return right now. How? By loving Jesus and building our relationship with Him and by loving the people around us. God has called us to love and make disciples saving people from Hell!

To go with this I found a sweet video of a Hero Dog saving another dog. Just like this dog, we must be willing to lay down our lives for others. Stay ready...watch the video!!!

Amazing Hero Dog

What's goin on?

What's goin on everyyyyyyybody? Hope your week is awesome.

I've added two new videos. One is pretty funny so check it out.

Tomorrow starts our Final Countdown Series; talking about the end of the World...What's gonna happen? You won't want to miss it. Bring a friend.

Summer Getaway is just around the corner. Details should be up tomorrow.
We also have a mission trip Scheduled. Check it out under our Global section. We are going back to Mexico with OSI.

O and don't forget about our Online Devotional. The Word will change your life!

The Final Countdown - March Series


It's the Final Countdown, the end of the world as we know it!!! Ever think about that? When is the end of the world going to happen? What and how is it going to happen? It's a big deal right now in the world we live in. Tragedy is happening all around us. Natural disasters are non stop. People are living in fear and worry about the economy. There are screams that we are running out of natural resources. Religious wars are being waged across the world.

This month we are going to look how it's all gonna go down according to the Bible. The Bible speaks clearly about what's going to happen. It also speaks clearly about our role in the Last Days and how we are to live. We will also look at the fact that tomorrow is not guaranteed us. Today could be our last day. How would you live today if you knew you were going to stand before God tomorrow?

We are in the Final Countdown of this age. The end is near. Are you ready?

Tonight starts our small groups! Gonna be great! Everyone will meet at the church first. JV will go to the Rose Center and High School will stay in the youth Room.

See ya all tonight!

Thursday, February 5, 2009

Hey Everyone,

Hope you had fun last night! Remember true love comes from God first. If this boundary is not set, any other boundaries you have in a dating relationship will weaken and fail. God must be our source of love first. Trying to find love in a boyfriend or girlfriend or anything else will always let you down, because human love without God is selfish. And even when we do have God, we aren't perfect. There will be times when they or we will fall short. Only God will never fail us. Let nothing take His place and He will take care of your relationships!

Here is that awesome video from last night! Enjoy!!!

Help The Homeless / Make Adam Pink


Are you ready to make a difference?

Help the Homeless week is Feb 22-28, but Decision is going to make February, Help the Homeless month.

The City Mission serves l
unch everyday and one food they serve a lot is Mac N Cheese. It's cheep and it tastes Great!!! So to help we are going to gather as many boxes of Mac N Cheese as we can. Now I don't want to just get 100 boxes or 300 boxes or even 500 boxes. I want us to raise 1000 boxes!

Why? Well first because there are thousands of hungry people in our community that need food and it's up to us as Christians to do it. There is another reason though. If we raise 1000 boxes our good friend A
dam Lackovic will let us dye his hair HOT PINK! This is a win win situation, help the homeless and see Adam with PINK hair.

Who will join me on this?

No Church Tonight

Hey Everyone! Hope you're all doing good.

Church has been canceled tonight due to lots of snow and terrible roads!!!! So stay inside and drink lots of hot cocoa:)

Before I let you go I have some announcements.

1. I'm going to the City Mission this Sunday, Feb 1st. I will be preaching and we are leading worship for the service there. We will leave the church @ 9:30am if you would like to go. This would be a great way for you to serve and help the homeless.

2.
Feb 22-28 is Help the Homeless Week, but we are going to take the whole month of Feb to Help the Homeless. We are going to gather as many boxes of Mac n Cheese as we can. This is one Item the City Mission always uses.

If we can gather 1000 boxes, Adam L. will let us dye his hair HOT PINK!!! but only with a 1000 boxes. A box costs like .25 cents. I want to help the homeless and turn Adam Pink, so who's with me?

New Pics and Encouragement

What's up guys?

Hope you are all doing real good. Just wanted to let everyone know I've updated our announcements as well as got some pics up from Winter Weekend 09. Click the link under the announcements. New music coming soon. Aaaand don't forget our Devo's.

I also want to encourage everyone with what we talked about last night. God is always engaging us and we can have a personal relationship with Him. To the place that we can know His heart, think like Him, act like Him, talk like Him. Our Father wants us to have his power and resources coursing through our lives. This is what sets our God above alllllllll others! We can know Him.

But for it to happen, we must take the time to engage Him. How? By taking time to read our Bibles and meditate on a scripture that sticks to us. Don't just read and leave. Read and think about the one thing that stuck to you. Then apply it to your life. If you don't get anything then use a verse that you know challenges you.

When you pray, pray from your heart. Talk to our Heavenly Father like you talk to people. Don't be rude of course. Hahaha! But talk to Him. Pour out your feelings and what your experiencing. It doesn't have to be fancy. Just real. Five quality minutes with God is better than an hour in prayer and only doing it to reach a goal. God's biggest thing is He just wants to be with You.

Take time each day and do this. Your relationship with God will go deeper and deeper. You'll become a life changer and you will never fail! Why because you are connected to Jesus and He never fails!

Love you each.

Time To Redline


Redline is back! Time to take our journey with God to the max.

2. Every 2nd and 3rd Wednesday will be small groups. We will meet in the youth room and then break up into our small groups.

3.Every 4th Wednesday will be a flow night. We will have a longer time in worship, prayer for friends and schools, and communion. It's a time for us to really engage God in a deeper way as a youth ministry.

Get ready for deeper relationship building and to Engage God!

New Contest


NEW CONTEST!!!

As Christians we believe the Bible is God's Word. Not just a book, but actually God's Word. Like if Jesus was to stand before you Words. And because it's God's Word, as Christians we need to read it and get it in us. I mean think about it, how are we going to become like Jesus if we don't know what He's thinking or how He lived? It's that important! It's so important that we should carry it everywhere with us. Especially to Church.

Many Christians don't bring their Bibles to Church. How weird is that? You wouldn't go to the store without your clothes or to a sword fight without a sword right? Then we certainly shouldn't forget our Bibles when we at least go to CHURCH. But many of us do.

OK so here's the contest.

Every teenager that can bring their Bible to church on Wednesday nights, will get a check mark next to their name. By April 1st, if you've brought your Bible 6 times you will get your name placed in a hat 6 times. On April 1st we will draw one winner from that hat. The winner will win a New Bible, a New Devotional, Dinner for them and two friends, and two youth leaders of their choice, and also get to go bowling!!!

So what does this all mean! BRING YOUR BIBLES TO CHURCH!!!

April 1st will be a Big Event Night - Details will be coming soon!

February Series


Are You Wearing Your Boundaries?!!!

This February we are going to be talking about love and dating and all that good stuff! And it is good stuff, but a lot of times in our lives our relationships can leave us feeling terrible. Much of it has to do with us not knowing what true love is, part of it is we get into relationships for the wrong reason, but the biggest reason is because we don't have boundaries.

God has created each of us to be in relationship and He has also set up guidelines or boundaries for us to follow in our relationship building. Just like clothes protect us from the elements of the weather, these boundaries protect us in our relationships. When we wear the boundaries it keeps us safe from all kinds of emotional and physical anguish, giving us more joy and happiness than we can imagine, but when we stop wearing those boundaries it can leave us in complete distress.

This month is not about NOT dating, but about how to set up boundaries in your relationships that will keep you safe and prepare you for your future spouse, all while having fun!
