Facing the Giants

Yesterday, we had youth fellowship. We came together as the youth and watched a movie. Yesterday's movie was Facing the Giants. You probably have watched that movie. It's about a coach who's football team is losing, but then he finds his solution in God. How? By finding the ultimate purpose of the football team is serving God, and praising him, and honoring him in all actions - on and off the field.He brings the team from a losing team to one that actually wins in the play-offs.

I have watched this movie before, but boy, was I in tears or what? Especially during the scene where the coach makes the most influential player carry, on his back using his hands as he crawls across the football field, a boy who's 160 pounds heavy. With every urge of the coach, I felt as though God was saying to me, keep on, don't give up, you can do more than you think you can!!

That was definitely an encouraging message for us all. But I think that the punch-line was what Pastor Rupert highlighted at the end of the movie as he was talking to the present youth, that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.That we could trust God with all our needs, desires and dreams, and trust Him to bring them to pass.

The youth were happy to have been at the movie. One person who had planned to walk out and go somewhere else during the movie actually canceled his other appointment and stayed on to the end. A very inspirational time did we all have.

We look forward to the youth prayers this Tuesday (tomorrow,actually, and to more of God's beautiful promises coming true in our lives.

Have a blessed week!!
