Wednesday Night Recap 4.30.08

What do you get when you combine mentos candy and a 16 oz of diet coke, AN EXPLOSION!! Tonight was a great service, awesome worship, the praise sounded so nice!!  Everything looked like it flowed smoothly and we ended on time!! The message was either a home-run or a complete miss, and I believe it was a home run!! When ever any of the kids picks up a Coca Cola bottle, I believe they will hear the message of Anger Management.  The theme was pretty much ANYONE WHO ANGERS YOU CONQUERS YOU!!  

• Lesson Topic: Coke Bottle Effect - How 2 Control Your Anger.  Genesis 4:2-7

1. Every one gets angry, nothing wrong with anger, but what how you react after your angry.
2. When were are angry people are usually one of these: Aggressive, Passive, Deflective, or in Denial.
3. How should we control our anger: Stop and Think, Consider some responses, consider the consequences from each response, and choose the best/safest one.  If all fails, PRAY!!!!!

• Lesson Quality: Above Average (The video, the visual, the stories, and illustrations really flowed. I really put some effort into this message, compared to my last where I really thought I blew it.
• Length of Lesson: 32 minutes (Thats WAAAYYYY too long!!, but the funny thing is, the kids were right there soaking it all in and we still ended before 9!! The adults were still in their study when I went back there!!!) We beat the adults out of service!!!
• Student Response: Above Average (a lot of kids at the altar and one young lady gave her life to Christ!! Glory to God!!

Man, one thing I have been doing lately when I know I’m going to share is I pray in our sanctuary, I walk in and out of the chairs just praying that the kids would be focused and receive what God has for them to hear!!
