Hi Koi Theme- UNITED
- John 17:22-23 NASB
- This year I wanted to focus on a lot of topics…
- U
- Us
i. We must stick together. Through the thick and thin we must depend on each other to fight this battle. FIRST STEP AND MAIN STEP
- N
- Never
i. Never Give Up! As we go through our lives we also face a Spiritual Battle with Satan
ii. Don’t give up on God
iii. Don’t give up on yourself or your brothers/sisters
- I
- Integrity
i. Stand up for what is right.
ii. Stand up for your faith.
iii. Don’t be the Christian who does nothing
iv. In the end it is just you and God
1. defend him because he gave his son for you
- T (“T” time with U [us] )
- Thanksgiving and Trust
i. Talk to the body about your spiritual struggle, we are here to help
1. whether it be Me, Small Group leaders, Counselors, Officers, even the Hi Koi body, don’t do this alone.
ii. Give praise for what he has done, it makes us humble and aware of God’s grace.
- E
- Engage
i. Learn about God
ii. Take the effort to be involved in the Word, that is they only way we can grow and be better Christians
- D
- Discipleship
i. As it says in Ezikiel, it is our duty to serve God. It is on your hand if you don’t do anything
ii. Tell the good news of Jesus. Show how he has blessed you and how he works in your life as a Christian
iii. WHAT I HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH AT THE END OF THE YEAR
- UNITED
- To accomplish all of these goals we all must be United as one. One body, One faith. Unity.
- The key aspect I wanted to focus on was U=Us, because that is where it begins before we become disciples….D
i. Must learn to lean on one other to fight this war.
- Analogy-
i. We cannot win on our own, even though you may have an All-star. You need your teammates, you need each other.
- Basically
- We are strong. We are one. Let us show others how God works in our lives. Let us be UNITED in our faith that we may grow in Him and in Each Other.
