Foundations of your Launch Pad
When we went to the Do Hard Things conference they mentioned that the teen years are like the launch pad to life. It’s like the space shuttle here. Without that launch pad being firmly in place and operating correctly the whole launch would be disastrous!! If the launch pad was incomplete or if it malfunctioned and let go of the shuttle too early the result would be a massive explosion and a complete disaster.
Unfortunately, I have seen many adult lives blow up because of “launch pad” malfunctions. Too often the teen years are put together with wrong information or with malfunctioning equipment and the “launch” into adulthood is a disaster.
Over the next several weeks at youth group we will be studying areas that are vital to your foundation, your launch pad. At first glance you might think “how does this apply to me?” But in reality, each area is a vital part of the launch pad, a vital part for a successful launch. Grace in the believers life - the unmerited desire and power to do God’s will Hope in the believers life - the eternal perspectivePower in the believers life - the equipping of the Holy SpiritEndurance in the believers life - God’s grace to carry on Joy in the believer’s life - delight and pleasure in God Battles in the believers life - the fight against the fleshPriorities in the believers life - being kingdom mindedMy prayer is that a we focus our attention on the Word of God and His “launch sequence” we can hear each student say…“Houston, we are go for launch!”Pastor NathanPosted on 5:19 PM by Pastor Nathan
