Worship!

Hey guys, I just wanted to share this song with you all. It's a worship song called "He Will Reign", by a hardcore band called Sleeping Giant. These guys are legit, on-fire, Spirit-filled, Christ-exalting missionaries who spit the Gospel to hardcore kids and metalheads from the US to Israel. They've got two albums of super aggressive (possibly even scary to many Christians) music with loud guitar, heavy drums, and SCREAMING vocals, but then they drop the guitars, raise their hands, and worship God in the midst of 200 sweaty, angry kids. It's amazing. God is using these guys to reach kids who most evangelicals would be afraid to look at wrong!
As I was driving home tonight I was rocking out to this song at the top of my lungs, praising God like a madman in my car, looking pretty ridiculous I'm sure, but it was so powerful I knew I had to share it with you.


It might be an acquired taste- listen to it *at least* twice!


.


Love you suckers,





Jason

NEW LOCATION TONIGHT!!!

Boys,
We will not be having men's group at John's house tonight. We are in the process of choosing a coffee shop to gather up at. The Lord is definitely putting us out in the world where he wants us, so let's be excited. We should be courteous, generous and intentional about being whereever we are. That means, don't be rude to the people around us, help someone if they need it, tip well (even if they don't deserve it) - basically, do what Jesus has done for us, but do it for someone else. Stay posted...details to follow!

teaching on Monday

Any Listenupman wanting to teach on monday is welcome too. The teaching will be the third in the chapter 7 of John and should include ch.7 v. 10-18ish.

These verses are:

But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret. So the Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, “Where is He?” There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.” Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach.The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, having never been educated?” So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. “If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. “He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Let me know, i want to flesh out who can teach early to give you a chance to prepare.
