It's Not Over

"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O king." Daniel 3:16-17 KJV

Heavenly Father, I come to You today with hope in my heart and praise on my lips. I place my trust in You, Dear Lord, knowing that with You as my protector, I have nothing to fear. I thank You, Lord, for Your grace, for Your love and for Your Son. Amen

YMCA Teens Confirmed



Five teenagers stood up in front of their church yesterday and claimed faith in Jesus Christ for themselves. They've been meeting & learning for the past two months.

Here are some excerpts from things they wrote:

I believe God will comfort, guide, and forgive every person, no matter who they are or what they've done.

I believe that God is set apart, perfect, filled with unlimited love and worthy of awe!

God has always been there for me, through my good times and bad times.

I believe that God wants us to communicate with him, turn away from our sins, look at Jesus as an example and also reflect on ourselves.

The church is not a place to judge, it's a place of holy truth about you and your life.
