LPV Students: Pivotal Circumstance...
http://lpvstudents.blogspot.com/2009/05/pivotal-circumstance.html
Thursday, May 7, 2009. We can't always see our circumstances coming, but they often have the same affect. Whether it is a loss of a job, death of a friend, health problem, etc. the circumstances leave us dazed and disoriented for a moment before we realize we have a choice to make. Do I trust God in-spite of what I am experiencing and feeling? Or do I start to question God's intentions and take matters into my own hands? I wonder if this is what it took for God to get me to leverage my life for His?

LPV Students: Feel The Power!
http://lpvstudents.blogspot.com/2009/04/feel-power.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. 8220;Give God the first minutes of your day.”. Funny how that works, isn’t it? Because when the alarm started beeping this morning, the question running through my head wasn’t “I’m so tired, how am I going to make it through the day? 8221; or even “What am I worried about that I couldn’t sleep last night? 8221; No, the question battering the inside of my skull at 4:50 this morning wasn’t so politically correct. It went something like this, “Why am I doing this?

LPV Students: May 2009
http://lpvstudents.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. What role does the Bible play in growing our faith? So I had a friend of mine who was really struggling in a particular area of his life. He felt like for every step he took forward, he fell back another two. Even though he knew that what he was doing was wrong, he kept falling into the same old trap. One night he asked me, "Am I the only one who's ever felt like this? All of us have been there. Who will save me from this sin that brings death to my body? Often times we look at t...

LPV Students: January 2009
http://lpvstudents.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. Helping People Take Their Next Step With God. I love our Mission statement. Really I mean it! Helping People Take Their Next Step With God". So the question is what is your next step? Where is that God is calling you to go? Maybe it is just being open to what God might be saying, maybe it is simply continuing to come to Student Ministry every week, maybe it is praying for your friends who aren't coming to Church or don't know God, maybe it is finding quite time with God and just...

LPV Students: Play to win...
http://lpvstudents.blogspot.com/2009/04/play-to-win.html
Monday, April 6, 2009. Come, follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. If you're like me, then you'd probably rather sit through a root. Canal then purposefully share your faith with someone. The thought of. Going up to a friend, or even worse a stranger, and attempting to. Distill the entire Bible into a thirty second conversation centered. Around sin, the four spiritual laws, some kind of bridge, and maybe the. Roman Road leaves me feeling a queasy. And maybe it should. Conversation&...

LPV Students: Trust
http://lpvstudents.blogspot.com/2009/04/trust.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. I'm willing step out in Faith-I just want to know that's what you want. Me to do.". I wrote that line in one of my prayer journals during a time. When I was intensely seeking God's plan for my life. I remember that. When I uttered that prayer to God the thought seemed perfectly logical,. Noble even. Here I was, willingly telling my Father that I'd be happy. To follow his directions-if he'd just light the road ahead with a. Burning bush or two. Can only be lived through trust and t...

LPV Students: Prayer...
http://lpvstudents.blogspot.com/2009/03/prayer.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. I think Mc Hammer said it best. "You've got to pray just to make it today". Let me clarify. I don't have a "dynamic" prayer life, I don't discipline myself enough to spend X number of minutes/hours with God, I don't find myself on my knees crying out to God. But I should. How does your life stand up to the truth of prayer being an anchor of our faith? What does your prayer life look like? What might you be missing out on? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

LPV Leaders: Submit
http://lpvleaders.blogspot.com/2009/04/submit.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2009. I know when I hear the word Submit I tend to think of images like the one above and/or I feel this urge to rebel, unless of course I’m the one asking for someone to Submit. But as leaders we are called to do just that, Submit. Not just Submit to Christ, but to those who are leading us and those we are leading. This is Mutual Submission and it is an interracial part of leadership and often times it isn’t fair. 1) Do for one when you can’t do for all. 2) Systematize top down service.

LPV Leaders: Elements of a Successful Group
http://lpvleaders.blogspot.com/2009/05/elements-of-successful-group.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. Elements of a Successful Group. This is from LifeChurch.tv. Here are the elements we’ve found essential for a great group:. 1 A great group needs a leader. When everyone is always voting on what we do next, we never do much. A good leader makes for a good group. 2 A great group is built around God’s word. Too often, small groups become all about fellowship. While fellowship is always essential, doing life around God’s word is what truly makes the difference. I’m wrong…. Semester 4: ...
