This involves large worship gatherings, four teaching sessions, a breakout session covering age/gender specific topics, and a small group discussions. The main sessions are joined with high school, but for small groups, larger groups games, and breakouts middle and high school will be separate.

This retreat will be our first retreat which we are doing independent of our parent church Hill Country Bible Church Pflugerville.

The Plan for the Exchange: Exchange Home Edition

2011-02-10T16:16:00.002-06:00

Now that we're passed the busy month of January and the Superbowl, it's time to kick the Exchange back into gear.

We're NOT meeting at HCBC P-Ville It's not a good on-going solution.

Therefore, we're going to be host the Exchange out of peoples houses. What we want to do is take this unique opportunity to have a relational, interactive experience.

We want something which is less about a big show up front and more about us connecting as the high school group of our church.

ASK QUESTIONS:

If you have questions about a spiritual subject, this is a great time to ask them. We can possibly work them into a talk or answer them during the Q&A section.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

* Hang out time with wii and Rock Band and some snacks
* Acoustic set from the band
* Talk /which is more interactive
* Q&A w/Sean & Jennifer - Ask anything!

SERMON SERIES: Veritas "Truth"

* Why do we believe what we believe?
* Week 1 - Why Do We Believe Jesus Rose from the Dead?

Since we'll be answering questions about the faith, this may be a good series to invite skeptical friends to.

While in his senior year at Oklahoma Wesleyan he met Sarah. They married in July 2007 and settled in North Austin for a year before purchasing a home in Round Ro

ck. Marcus worked as a Banker and Financial Advisor for three years while serving as Associate Teaching Pastor for the Youth Ministry at their church.

High School D-Groups!

2010-09-30T09:47:00.001-05:00

This Fall we’re putting the D back into D-Groups!

Discipleship Groups are weekly small groups intended to help students become disciples of Christ. Each group is led by an adult with a simple mission (1) Get to know the student, (2) Get to know them spiritually, (3) help them take their next spiritual step. These groups call the students to commit to daily devotions, service, outreach, and Christian community. Their leader will help them grow in each of these areas.

If you want your student to grow spiritually, D-Groups are the place where growth happens.

Groups start meeting the week of October 3rd and run through the week of December 12th. Once the semester begins, groups are closed. Therefore, the next couple of weeks are your chance to get your student plugged into a D-Group.

COST: $10 per semester (to purchase their curriculum)

AVAILABLE GROUPS:

Guys:

Monday Nights: 9th-11th
Leader: Sean Chandler

Thursday Nights: 10th-12th
Leader: Jason Worthen

Friday Mornings: All High School Guys
Leader: Scott Butler

Girls:

Monday Nights: 9th-11th

Small Groups Coming Soon

2010-09-02T19:01:00.000-05:00

This fall we will have both middle and high school small groups. I'm currently in the process of recruiting leaders. Groups will be starting by the end of September.

C-Groups (Community Groups)

The aim for our middle school groups is to form a deep sense of Christian community. In these groups we want them to form godly friendships which will last a lifetime. We want our students to learn how to be friends who challenge one another to grow spiritually.

D-Groups (Discipleship Groups)

The focus of our high school small groups will be discipleship. By the time our students graduate our ministry, we want to give them the opportunity to see what it means to be a disciple. It's more than attending church and a small group. It's following hard after Christ. We want to help them do this.

More details coming within the week!

What Do You Do When You're Losing Faith? PART I

2009-12-10T13:05:00.000-06:00

We received this question via text message, and I firmly believe this is one of the most important questions for us to answer. In fact, I'll likely preach a sermon (or series) answering this question next Spring.

The reality is that virtually all of us will have times where we feel like we're losing faith or we have serious doubts. There's no simple solution to doubt, and there's no single reason people lose faith. Therefore, this list isn't meant to give you THE ANSWER to lose of faith. Instead the point is to help you process and work through your doubts and struggles.

Find a Mentor:

Find someone you trust who is older than you in the faith who can help you work through your struggles. They need to be someone who you can trust, and who has pure motives in trying to help you.

This person will help you work through the questions below (not that the questions are a set formula).

WORK THROUGH THESE QUESTIONS

1) What is causing me to lose faith? What is causing me to doubt

Often times there is a specific issue which is causing you to lose faith. They come in many different forms.

Apparent contradiction in scripture
Contradiction between science and scripture
Philosophical issue
Feeling that God isn't there
A passage in scripture is unsettling to you
You can't reconcile certain events with God's character
Compelling scientific arguments
Hypocritical behavior in Christians
Difference between what you see in scripture and what you see in churches today
Etc.

Being able to pin point the cause of your struggle, makes it much easier to work through. If it's a purely intellectual struggle, it's likely that someone has written book answering your question. The reality is that there's a lot of bad science and poor arguments being put out by both Christians and non-Christians.

A lot of times the stuff that causes people to doubt isn't even real. After The Da Vinci Code came out, supposedly a great many people started to doubt their faith due to the content of the books. Those doubts could have been easily answered simply by doing a little research and realizing that The Da Vinci Code is filled with bad history.

Some issues are easier to answer than others, but it's very difficult to address a concern if you don't even know what it is.

2) What sin in my life am I not fighting? What sins do I need to confess?

Romans 6:23a
23For the wages of sin is death,

Sin by definition is rebellion against God. It is choosing to find satisfaction in something besides God. If you have unconfessed sin in your life, that is like a wedge between you and God.

Think about it this way. Imagine you're facing a mountain range. You can actually see exactly how beautiful it is. Then imagine you turn around and face the opposite direction (sin). The mountain range is still there, but you can't see it. It hasn't change, but you have. As soon as you turn around (repent) the mountains will reappear. Of course, this is just an illustration, but it seems to reflect my experience.

When I'm surrounded by sin and distractions, God can seem very far away. I think this is one of the reasons that people feel closer to God at youth retreats and during events like the Great Adventure and mission trips. You're pulled away from the sin and distractions of everyday life and you're put in a place where you can pursue God. In that environment, suddenly you're seeing God in ways you've never seen Him before. God hasn't changed, but your perspective of him has changed.

3) What spiritual disciplines and normal Christian activities are you ignoring?

Joshua 1:8
8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

There are certain behaviors and activities which are central to the Christian life.

Spend time in the Bible (Joshua 1:8)
Prayer (1 Thess. 5:16-18)
Gathering with other believers
Giving & Serving
Communion
Baptism

If these are God's prescription for what Christians need to do to remain spiritually healthy, it shouldn't surprise us that the abscence of these behaviors and activities leads to doubt

Points 4 and 5 coming soon

Christmas Chaos 2009 is Officially Canceled

2009-11-24T14:42:00.002-06:00

After re-evaluating where our student ministry is at, we came to the conclusion that throwing an event like Christmas Chaos (this year) would not be the best use of our time, money, and volunteers. Depending on where our ministry is at next year, we may decide to have a Christmas Chaos 2010!

Instead of Christmas Chaos we plan on throwing smaller Christmas events targeting our middle and high school students.

Tentatively, our plans are to have a middle school Christmas party at the Albers house on the night of December 12th. It will involve pizza, wild games, a white elephant gift exchange, and possibly (probably) inflatables.

Our plans for high school are still being formed.
