The Church

We share Jesus’s LOVE through relationships in  COMMUNITY!

Ignition has started this Fall with a fresh start. We are building on what has been set before us and looking forward as we make The Shift.

Our focus this week was learning about how to share Jesus’ LOVE through relationships in COMMUNITY. Small Groups is what we are talking about folks! That is what we do and we desire to make these groups the best they can be. We have some FANTASTIC people that love Jesus and love students and want to guide down the right road.

Back to it…Mike Morales dove into the Acts 2 Church and painted a picture of what Ignition could and should look like! What could life look like if we DEVOTED ourselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer? What could life look like if we EXPECTED God to do something amazing when we came to church? What could life look like if we SHARED, cared and provided for everyone according to their needs? And what could like look like if we PRAISED Him for everything…good and bad…and saw people come to Christ everyday? What could life look like if we really took our faith and BEING the church seriously?

UNSTOPPABLE!

ACCEPT everyone!

Ignition is taking a SHIFT in the way we do things! The past has been awesome but as Mike Morales has taken lead on this Road Trip, we are going to conduct a tune up. From this day forward, Ignition will have a Mission and Goal for students! Shifting is some times difficult but needed to move forward. We all know what it feel like to sit in a car with a 16year old that is learning how to drive a stick…pretty scary and rough! But we all have sat in the seat of a seasoned driver with Shifting abilities as smooth as eggs! There are students all over the place at Ignition so expect some aches, pains, whip lash, discomfort but also expect some joy, smiling faces, room to stretch and grow, ability to move!

Mike tried to communicate on Sunday that Ignition will be a place where we ACCEPT High School Students exactly where there are in life! Jesus meets us where we are and doesn’t bat an eye. He loves us and cares for us. It is safe to be in His presence. That is what Ignition will grow to be! We all want to be accepted and accepting of others and that’s what God calls us to!

We looked at Jesus and the Samaritan woman, and looking at her. Jesus ACCEPTING her and loving her right where she was. In one of  the darkest places of her life he brings her in and loves her! God’s timing in life is so much better than ours so trusting that we are in the right place is hard but we need to Trust Jesus! We need to sop judging people and LOVE everyone that enters through the doors to Ignition.

Next week we are talking about sharing Jesus’ LOVE through relationships in COMMUNITY! (Small Groups!!!)
