Summertime Fun

The Summer is quickly coming to an end ~ we've had a pretty light schedule of Youth activities, but we've been having fun together still meeting every other Wednesday evening.  It's usually been a more relaxed evening because of meeting at our home.

One of the Youth suggested doing Character Studies for the Summer and we've been enjoying studying and discussing different people each time we meet.  

First it was David & Jonathan  (1 Samuel 20) and their friendship.

Then we talked about Stephen  (Acts 6:8-15; 7:54-60), which led to some good discussion of the Holy Spirit and how He wants to fill us ... but we like to keep our cups full of ourselves ... aka kool aid ....

This week we talked about Ananias and Sapphira   (Acts 5: 1- 11) and had some more great discussion on the Holy Spirit.  

We talked about how we can resist the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51) by not doing what we know is right and ignoring Him.  We can quench the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19) by continuing in our sin.  We can grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30) by refusing the change from our sinful ways.  We also talked about our bodies being the temple of the Holy Spirit ... and again how He wants to fill us with Himself.

Looking forward to our next meeting time

 when we'll talk about Jonah!
