Going Deeper

Getting the BIG Picture

Tips for Bible Reading:

• Choose a reading plan and try to stick to it! (But if you miss a day, don’t stress – add what you missed into other days, pick up where you left off or even catch up by missing a day or two)
• Get an accountability partner – someone who checks up on how you’re going.  It might be a friend who does the same reading plan, it might be a parent or your Life Group leader
• Pray before you read that God will help you to understand what you are reading and give you a better picture of who He is and His story
• Find a translation that suits you – for lots of different translations visit www.biblegateway.com
• Ask questions – try and find the answers yourself, or ask a parent, pastor, friend or leader
• Finally, make it fun – journal, paint, draw, compose, dance, sing or whatever else helps you to best understand God’s Story

We see equipping the next generation with the tools they need, to live exciting God centered lives, full of God’s promise, hope for the future and a passion for the lost, as the most important thing we can do for someone.

To assist with this we are now Podcasting our messages.  If you missed getting to Frontline Live or loved the message you heard, or perhaps you want to just hear it again to let  it all soak in, then grab the Podcast.  Get it on your Ipod or on your favourite Mp3 player and let the message change your life!

As young people we have the ability to let our energy, our passion and our hearts cry change the world in which we live.  Let’s equip ourselves so we can do it!  If God be for us, who can be against us!!?

Hey guys, hope you had an awesome night at Frontline Live and that you were challenged in the area of worship! As promised the Podcast of Matt speaking will be available sometime in the next day or so, so make sure you check back and grab it for your iPod or mp3 player.

This Thursday night is our Parents Night, we encourage you to make sure your folks know about it and that they are invited to attend. We just want to touch base with them, let them know what goes on at Frontline and thank them for entrusting each of you to us to hand out with!

See you next week at LIFE GROUPS!!

Pastor Trevor Chandler was kind enough to visit us and impart some words of true wisdom in to the life of Frontline Youth this week.  While he is not as young as he use to be, he is still as quick witted as anything and fully passionate about God.  He challenged us on seeking God’s will and how we can know we are in his will.

Pastor Trevor will be speaking at LMC this Sunday, both morning and night services.  Get along!

A few notes I grabbed to help remind you of some of what he said:

• There are only two choices – In God’s will, or not in God’s will
• God doesn’t make it hard if you are in his will
• We will go through trials but our question should be ‘Lord what I can learn from this’
• Jesus’ main priority was to follow God’s will
• We need a willingness to learn and a willingness to seek his will
• Romans 12:1-3

¹Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual^[a] act of worship. ²Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

• Matt 6:10

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

• Matt 10:29

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a penny^[a]? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

• Matt 12:50

⁵⁰For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

• God has a plan for us!
• He gives us everything we need to see his will in our lives fulfilled!
