Our theme this summer is MOVE. God desires for us to be a reflection of Him in our world. This calling should MOVE us to be concerned for the lost in our world. It should MOVE us to look at our world and seek to meet their needs. It should MOVE us to share our story of how Jesus changed our lives and allow God to work through us as we share our story.
We have many resources and great opportunities. Why are we not using them? God wants us to MOVE into our world. Our friends and family need Jesus and we cannot afford to be selfish with our faith any longer. Unfortunately our culture tricks us in to thinking, “Oh that’s what you believe. Don’t force your beliefs on me.” We hear these statements every day. It’s time for a group of believers to rise up and say, “Jesus is what you need, and I’m going to show you by my life and my actions.”
When believers begin to live like Christ in their homes, school’s and work places, two things happen. First, the example of Jesus is displayed to all and second, we allow God to work through us into the lives of those we come in contact with. It takes action on our part. It requires obedience to God’s Word and it means that our Faith must MOVE.
No more sitting on the couch watching “Lost” or “Glee.” Those days are over. We must MOVE ourselves to the position of taking our faith to the world. Allowing God to work through us. Students that have faith are out living the adventure of faith. They are moving in to their world and putting their faith in action.
“Because if you want to MOVE, you got to have faith. And to have faith you got to MOVE.”

To MOVE requires, OBEDIENCE, ACTION & FAITH.
