We played a cool game of...well some of our friends wore pantyhose with tennis balls on their heads and swung them around to try to pull it off their opponent's heads! It was fun to watch, and our game contestants rocked!
Lexie, another one of our Northern Young Life leaders, spoke on John 3. She told us a story about how she and her friends thought it would be fun to try out for the cheer leading squad in high school. She said they made it, but eventually quit. She made the point that they all wore the cheer leading outfits and looked like cheerleaders, but on the inside, it wasn't who they were. This paralleled to Nicodemus.
Nicodemus was someone that appeared to have a lot of knowledge to the people around him, but he didn't know that much. And he cared so much about what others thought of him, he went and saw Jesus at night to inquire about who Jesus was so that no one would see him. So just like Lexie looked like a cheer leader on the outside and she wasn't on the inside, Nicodemus appeared to have everything in his life together and he didn't.
She concluded by sharing with us that Jesus wants a relationship with us and meets us where we're at, no matter where it is. He cares about our hearts and wants to walk through life with us.
And then she asked a hard question- What is limiting us from having a personal relationship with Jesus?
It was a great night and we're always looking forward to our next club!
A few things you should know:
