      <title>Love the Hated</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/6109892</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  Matthew 5:43-48

The big idea of my talk is to love the people that are hard to love.  Love the hated.  There are two thoughts I think the students need to think about.  The first comes when Jesus says to be perfect.  We need to emulate God in every way of our life.  Second, we need to love all humans not just our clicks we hang out with.  When we only love those who are close to us, how are we any different from those who are not Christians?  We need to get past showing love just to our friends, and start sharing God's love with everyone.  ]]></description>

      <title>Bow WITH the King</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/5938707</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Matthew 20:17-28

In this day in time, we get taught to be the biggest, baddest, coolest, best thing in town or at least for guys.  We have to be the best.  I guess girls are taught to be the most popular, best looking, most fashionable, coolest girl around.  Hopefully I am close to that assumption, if not I hope you, girls, are able to get the point.  Maybe another way of say this is we are taught to have power.  Power comes from a multiple sources in our life.  Some comes through popularity, knowing the right people, being athletic, or a people pleaser.  Doing these things gives us that attention we want, also known as the power we desire.  We can see the disciples get a little angry in this passage because they thought James and John might have more power.  Jesus comes in tells them not be like a power hungry king and throw there weight around.  Jesus told them that their life was going to be different.  He told them, if they want to be great they must serve the people around them.  Jesus tells them that he came to serve not to be served.  WOW!  We need to do the same in our life.  We need to open our eyes to those around us and serve.  I am challenging the students to open their eyes, so that they see ways to serve their peers!  I want them to start helping each other instead of tearing each other down.]]></description>

      <title>Be a Flesh Eater?  What!?!</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/5808180</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  John 6:51-60

Jesus can say some pretty amazing things!  Like eat my flesh and drink my blood, but through all of chapter 6 we can find a common theme.  Surrendering our life to his authority.  People deserted him on this day in scripture because they didn't believe in what Jesus was saying.  Jesus was telling them they just had to have faith in him.  He is the source to eternal life.  He is the ultimate authority.  We even have a hard time surrendering to his authority today even as Christ followers.  He may be impressing something on our heart and we ignore the call.  This is a hard truth but I love what Peter had to say in verse 68-69, "Lord, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life.  We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."  Peter gave up everything to follow Jesus.  Would we do the same if Jesus called us to give it all? ]]></description>

      <title>Live Out Your Word</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/5646264</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Proverbs 12:6, Exodus 23:1, Colossians 3:9-10

This is the final week of Plutoed!  In this last session, We will be discussing one of the most valuable things in friendship, your word.  So many times we say one thing and do another.  We don't hold true to our word.  It can be looked as though either you lie or tell the truth.  You live out your word or you don't which turns what you said into a false statement.  Living out your word is one of the most important things we must all learn as we develop relationships of any kind.  Even if living out your word doesn't benefit you.  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Matthew 7:12

We are now in our third week of the series called Plutoed!  This week is very simple.  We are building off the past two weeks, and we are talking about building the right relationships.  The last two weeks have talked about:  stop devaluing others but on the other hand we may need to devalue our self and let God in control and center our life around him.  This week is all about building!  We need to be there for our friends, challenge them to do the right thing, etc.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Acts 3 and 4

We find our selves expounding on a story or adding in details to make our self sound better or in other words bring our self glory.  Why is that?  We want to look good for other people.  Sometimes we do this without even thinking.  Some body might ask us something and we might just blurt out the answer that makes us look better.  People do this all the time with their age.  Then we realize, hey I totally didn't tell the truth.  
I was reading over Acts and I could not help but see Peter's example.  It caught me off guard.  I didn't notice it at first but as I read the passage as a whole and made note on the passage I picked up on something.  It is easy to see that Peter is sharing the gospel three times in these two chapters.  The more times you read it he denies himself and give God all the glory in each situation.  Even when he is being question, he is bold and still tells people about God.  When he could have said, "Yeah I did that," but Peter shifts all attention to Christ.  Why don't we do that?  Some might say, "Yeah but things are different."  Doesn't scripture talk about denying our self?  I think it is important as followers of Christ to bring glory to God and have him first in our life.  When our relationship is right with God we will be bring his name glory instead of our own name.]]></description>

      <title>Reach Out</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/5064431</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  Luke 19:1-10

We all have heard the story of Zacchaeus.  I recall so often as a high school student and see it take place now in the lives of our students, they begin to think they are better than other people.  They tend to sit back and not want to reach out to some that is different.  We forget that we were once lost but by the grace of God we are now found and born again.  I cannot help but look at the crowd and see their reaction when Jesus leaves to talk to Zacchaeus.  How often does this happen in our day and time?  I cannot believe she is talking the preps over there all they do is gossip and trash everybody, and guys say the same things.  We can be found guilty of this at some point in time.  The gospel message is for everyone especially those who remain open to it.  There are Zacchaeus all over wanting to be told about Christ, or wanting a friend.  ]]></description>

      <title>Thirst Quencher</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/4804458</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  Luke 12:22-34 & 2 Kings 5:15-27

We have said at some point in time something along the lines, "If I had blank I would be so happy!"  You would fill in the blank.  If we haven't said it, we have heard someone say it.  As a kid, I wanted a Nintendo.  I thought it would be bring me happiness.  I begged my parents and even worried what I would do with out it.  Then I finally got my Nintendo and I was happy.  As time went on, I started to get bored with the Nintendo.  It didn't bring my happiness.  Then I thirsted after something else.  I thought something else would make me happy.  All that happens is a cycle of false since of happiness.  Jesus says in the Luke passage were your treasure is, your heart will be also.  He also tells the disciples not to worry.  We have to make sure our treasure is not our "Nintendo's" but God.  When God is our treasure and we are living in his will.  Then we can start to have true happiness and joy.  God is our thirst quencher.  Even in the hard times we can find joy in God's will if we are living in the center of his will.

      <title>How do we rebel?</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/4537168</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  Luke 22:39-46

Jesus was the perfect rebel when it cam to rebelling against culture.  He was ridiculed, slandered, beat, and nailed to a cross, but he never gave into temptation.  He was perfect.  The problem is we are not perfect.  While Jesus defeated sin and death, we haven't.  The good news is that he has left us a great example on how to rebel.  One way is to pray to God to give us that strength we need to over come that temptation in our life.  We often times forget to do something so simple in our life.  We let the busyness of life take over that we forget to stop and pray.  Prayer is one of the most important things we can do in our Christian walk.  If Jesus prayed right before we died on the cross, I think that we should be doing more praying in our life.]]></description>

      <title>It's all been done!</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/4410601</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  Genesis 3:1-8

This series is all about being a Rebel.  What is a rebel?  Most of the time we think that a Rebel is someone who is in trouble with the law, breaks all the rules, and just tries to throw the government off.  A rebel paves the way.  My opinion a rebel is someone who breaks the rules and that changes how things are done.  The first rebels would have to be Adam and Eve.  When they ate the fruit.  That is when sin entered the world.  That was rebellion.  The first sin which was disobedience.  That changed everything.  That sin totally changed their life and changed our life.  So when people sin, break rules, and they think they are a rebel, they are totally fooling their self and everyone else.  It has been done before. Sin and breaking rules, that is not a rebel because it has been done.  The only rebellion left is to rebel against our sin.  Then we are changing how things are done.  A true rebel will turn from their sin because that needs to be done and that will change everything.  Let's rebel.  Let's rebel against our sin.  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  Matthew 28:19-20

We have been looking at what CSM is all about.  We have been learning what a disciple looks like.  As disciples we are called to be a lifetime learner and servant of Christ.  Now for the icing on the cake.  Jesus was accepting of everyone.  He broke the rules when it came to making his disciples.  It didn't matter their background:  rich, poor, sick, or healthy.  Jesus cared for everyone.  He wanted relationship.  He wants people to understand that eternal life comes through him and him alone.  He told the disciples and us in these verses to go make disciples.  He is telling us not only to continue to learn and serve him but also be accepting of everyone and share the Gospel.  This is what my talk will focus on:  accepting of everyone and sharing our faith.

      <description><![CDATA[Matthew 28:19-20

This is the second week of this series and we will take another look at what Jesus meant when he talked about being disciples.  First thing we noticed is that a disciple is called to a lifetime of discipleship or in other words always learning about God.  This week we turn our attention to another meaning of disciple, which is a lifetime of service and work.  Jesus was reminding the disciples that they must continue the good work and service.  They must continue to serve their God.  Jesus wants us to do the same.  He wants us, as Christ Followers, to serve Him.  I am going to challenge the students to get involved somehow this year in one of the ministries at church.  We have now learned in the past two weeks that we are called to be a lifetime learner of Christ and also a lifetime servant/worker.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Matthew 28:19-20

We have read this passage before and so many times we think of spreading the gospel when we hear this verse.  That is just part of what is being said.  These two verses are what this ministry is all about.  This week we are going to focus on the word disciple and what it means.  As disciples of Jesus, we must continue to learn more about him.  He tells us to make disciples. Yeah that is spreading the word, but it doesn't stop there.  Discipleship is a lifetime of learning about God.  We are suppose to spend our whole life learning from Christ.  I am challenging the students to get involved in a Fuel Group and to be here every Sunday.  I am wanting them to pray about how they are going to be discipled this year.]]></description>

      <title>I want it now!?!</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/3670170</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  James 1:12 & Matthew 24:13

We are living in the Now Generation period.  Enough said right?  We want everything now, when we want it, no delays.  If we don't get what we want or get what we think we deserve, the now generation has taught us to quit.  That is exactly what we can be found guilty of.  We are losing a great character trait of enduring.  We have to learn endurance and push through when life gets hard.  Endurance is the key characteristic to vision, courage, and discipline.  When we are pursuing a vision, times will get hard, and we have to push through.  Same thing when it comes to being disciplined.  Sometimes it takes endurance to build up courage.  This is characteristic is built and is destroyed by quitting.]]></description>

      <title>Do Work... When it Counts</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/insideout/posts/text/3288305</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Passage:  Genesis 6:9-14; 6:22-7:1; 7:5

We all have heard about how Noah built the ark and the passage is mainly teaches about how righteous Noah was, and that is why God used Noah.  Have you ever thought about Noah being disciplined.  He built this big ole ark.  That takes discipline especially when think of the size of the ark.  In being discipline, I think there are two principles we need to understand.  First we need to understand Delayed Gratification.  The payoff most of the time comes along much later when being discipline.  Second, We have to practice Advance Decision  Making.  There are some days we just don't feel like doing it but going ahead setting aside that time or making that decision earlier on in the day helps keep our self accountable.  Telling yourself you have to do it.  Then your payoffs will come.
