LET NO ONE LOOK DOWN ON YOU FOR YOUR YOUTH, BUT RATHER IN SPEECH, CONDUCT, LOVE, FAITH AND PURITY, SHOW YOURSELF AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE. 1 timothy 4:12

4/22/2020

Hi Beachside Junior High brothers and sisters! What a great reminder from the book of 1 Timothy for all of you who you are in Christ. As a believer, a follower, a disciple of Jesus...you are in every way as important to the body of Christ as any other believer is...regardless of age or experience. So let your life be a light that illuminates your world with the love of Jesus. Be bold in your speech, Christ-like in your conduct, passionate in your love for others. You have so much to offer, and all of you who are believers have gifts to share with others. God tells us in His Word that He gives us gifts for us to use to build up, encourage, and comfort each other. We are blessed by all of you; for the gifts we see in your lives; and for the ways that we see you living out your faith in Jesus. Hope to "see" you all at church tonight @ 7:00 pm.
Grace, peace, and much love to you all!

Thank you for this inspiring word from our living word of God!
I hope you and everyone are doing well too! We all need this encouragement right now and we now have a chance to show others that we love them and shine God’s light.

Actually I had to memorize this once. Even though we are young, we can still share the gospel. Sometimes to adults, too.

Thanks for the great verse!

I think I will like the jr high group more than the 3-5 class. I enjoy the discussions and diving deep into God’s word. I’m eager to learn more with this new group!

Thanks Brooke and Joshua. Your encouragement is so special and meaningful. I'm really looking forward to being back together with the whole Beachside Youth crew! We have some great times ahead of us. Keep praying and encouraging...and anytime you want to make a video for the site, let us know and we will drop it in for the whole group to enjoy. Blessings...and have a great day!

Yes! I enjoy listening to Hannah's worship songs too. It really encourages me that I can praise the Lord for so many things even though we are stuck in a house all day.

Thanks Brooke! Yes...we are all blessed having Hannah as our sister and friend...and her willingness to share her gifts in music with us is always a fantastic treat! Looking forward to "seeing" you and your family at church this Sunday! Keep your mind set...on Jesus!
