Update for 01/28/2010

    Last night at youth group we had 33 people there for the second week in a row. We talked about the second half of Joseph's life from Genesis 42-50 again learning lessons from the life of Joseph. The three lessons that we learned from Joseph's life are:

1. Do not repay evil with evil – we also see this lesson reflected in the teachings of the New Testament (1 Peter 3:9 and Romans 12:17)

2. God is in control and He is always with us

3. We should forgive those who have wronged us – again a theme we see throughout the New Testament (Matthew 6:12-15 and Luke 17:3-4)

    Looking at the life of Joseph has been illuminating and there are many lessons we can learn and apply to our lives from this story. Remember the PBC youth is reading through the One Year Bible and the lessons that are being taught each week will be primarily from the Bible reading for that week. It is not too late to start reading the One Year Bible, a daily reading schedule can be found online at: http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com/readingplan/oneyearbiblereadingplan.pdf

    This past weekend was a fun one for PBC youth. We went to a lock-in all nighter at the Lexington Ice Center and spent much of the night ice skating, playing basketball, and also playing broom ball (which was really fun and the favorite part of the night for many of us, for those who did not play you really missed out on a lot of fun). We had a great time at the ice skating rink though and if they do it again next year we will surely be back!

    February is going to be another busy month for the PBC youth, which is the way we like it! The February calendar and explanation of the events have already been posted on this blog so there is no need to reiterate it. However, just so you know you can get the calendar of events on the PBC youth blog!!

    Finally, we have a confirmed 28 people who are signed up for camp this year in Greenville, South Carolina!! There are still spots available so if anyone else in interested in attending camp please contact me (Derek Trout) as soon as possible so we can make sure you get to go! I am sure that camp will be a great time and we are really looking forward to it already.

    Last night was a great night at youth group, however, we did not have any new people attend. This means that ya'll need to start asking more and more of your friends to come to youth group. They won't know what they are missing out on until you tell them!!

May God bless you all!!

01/21/2010 Update

PBC Blog for January 21, 2010

 

    Last night at youth group we had 33 people in attendance. This has become about our average attendance on Wednesday nights at PBC youth. We even had a new person come to the youth group for the first time, which is very exciting! I encourage all of you to try to bring a new friend with you every week.

    PBC is reading through the Bible in one year and I encourage all of our youth to read through the one year Bible as well. In our reading from the past week we read the first part of the story of Joseph found in Genesis 37-41. Remember the four lessons we learned from the first part of Joseph's life. These four lessons are:

1. We should not be jealous of what other people have because jealously can lead people to do extreme things. Instead of being jealous we should be content with what we have.

2. Even when bad things happen to us God still loves us and God is still there with us!

3. Run (literally) from temptation if you have to!! Or flee from sexual immorality, Joseph ran away from Potiphar's wife because of the temptation he faced. I Corinthians 6:18 tells us to flee from sexual immorality, which is also a lesson we learn from the life of Joseph.

4. Trust God and stay humble. It could have been very easy for Joseph to be mad at God for what had happened in his life but instead he still trusted God and stayed humble through some pretty tough times.

 

Next week in youth group we will be talking about the lessons we learn from the second half of the story of Joseph so make sure to read Genesis 42-50, if you are reading through the Bible in one year you will read this over the course of the next week with your daily reading.

    I am very excited to have all of us reading through the Bible in one year and it is not too late to start reading through the Bible in one year if you haven't yet!! If you have a twitter account you can follow the youth group at http://twitter.com/pvilleBCyouth and each day the Bible reading will be posted with a link you can follow to read the Bible on your computer.

    If any of you have questions or comments please leave them here so we can get some dialog going about the things you have questions about. And remember check back often for updates. This blog will be updated every Thursday and often times more frequently than that!! Thank you all and I'm super excited about the ice skating lock-in tomorrow at the Lexington Ice Center!! Hope to see yall there, its sure to be a lot of fun!!
