We talked about how Jesus used aggressive language to show how important it is to remove sin and temptation from our lives.

Tonight we played some group games and watched part 2 of a Lee Strobel Documentary Video - The Case For Faith. It generated lots of good questions.

Topic: Surprise, surprise!

Text: Mark 7:24-30.

 ²⁴ Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. ²⁵ In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 

²⁶ The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter. ²⁷ “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
 ²⁸ “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
 ²⁹ Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”
 ³⁰ She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

We talked about how Jesus can meet our needs. 

Are you desperate for Jesus - Jesus is the same today as he was when this event happened (see Hebrews 13:5). And he wants to surprise us with who he is and what he can do. What is your deepest need? Are you desperate enough to bring it to Jesus? Do you dare ask him to surprise you? Desperate, tenacious, surprising faith pushes through to the Saviour. What will it take for you to express your need to him?

CORNERSTONE YOUTHQUEST BASKETBALL

Tonight we had another full house with over 50 guys there, including our student leaders. Congrats to our MVP and MVCs (Most Valuable Character). We also gave away two adidas bags (donated by Cornerstone Christian Community Church) a large chocolate Easter Egg (donated by one of adult volunteers) and some Gatorade and snacks. We had an Easter message and some great basketball.
