To Save a Life

banner

This May Brevard Community Student Ministry will be showing the movie: To Save a Life.
To Save A Life is a powerful indie movie about the real-life challenges of teens and their choices.
At some point, every teen has to decide: “What’s my life going to be about?” To Save A Life dares to bring that question into their world, encouraging them to answer it with boldness, honesty and Christ-likeness—and to put love into action around them.

Can a movie change the world? No, but it can move the people who will.

To Save A Life is more than a movie. It’s the difference you can make when you use your influence and time for others—whether in your family, neighborhood, campus, community or world. Some people are just dying to be heard and accepted. Don’t let ‘em have to. Be the person who takes the time to show people they have value. Listen. Reach out. Engage. Imagine if we took the time to show other people we care. To Save A Life dares—no, inspires—you to.

To Save A Life is an awesome movie. But it’s only a movie. You can change the world.

Showing Times:
Parents: May 16th @ 1pm in Student Center
Middle School Students: May 22 @ 8 pm
High School Students: May 23 @ 8 pm

News and Upcoming Event Info!

Spring is here! Thank goodness! I'm sure many of you are thankful to be playing your sports in warm weather:). At BCSM we have just finished up a series called, "What Lies Beneath". We have been taking a look at the Temptation of Christ while He was here on this earth, and His response to temptation. He not only came to die for our sins, but to show us how to live if we have a relationship with Him. Jesus was the perfect example of Godly living during His time here on earth!

April 18 at BCSM
This Sunday, we will have a special guest speaking to us at BCSM. His name is Joshua Treece. Brent, Amanda, and Joshua went to college together at CIU. Joshua writes movie reviews for Youthminstry.com , he travels about this fine country speaking to students, and has also worked with students at SaddleBack Church in CA. We are very excited for you to meet our dear friend. He is hilarious so don't miss this Sunday!

The next Sunday series will be the 5 Lies of the Devil.

Wednesday Night!
This Wednesday night April 14th, Jeremy Morgan will be with us in the student center to share with us his new devotional based off of music from the band Skillet. Please come and support Jeremy and also to hear what God has to say to all of us! :)

BEACH 2010

After watching this video and gouging your eyes out, read on to hear about what we talked about this past Sunday @ ECHO!

Rewind: Samson

Rewind
Samson's Story

This week Brad helped us kick off our new series on looking into the lives of Christ followers from the Old Testament. We started by checking out the sensational story of Samson. From ripping up lions to setting a village on fire with a circle of 300 foxes, Samson was no joke. The Spirit of God was on him. But, each time he chose to disobey and keep secrets from those he loved most, he stepped closer and closer to darkness. There were three rules that God gave Samson. He couldn't drink alcohol, touch a dead animal, or cut his hair. When he chose to disobey God to gratify his needs, he fell straight into disaster. Samson fell for a trap. Delilah, a spy for the Philistines (who were not so thrilled with Samson at this point), convinced him to share the secret of his strength. While Samson was sleeping Delilah cut his hair. The Philistines were there at just the "right time". Samson's eyes were gouged out as a part of his torture. A man who went from walking in God's Spirit was now in complete darkness.

As a follower of Christ we have a choice. We can either share God's light and expose the truth to others, or we can walk in darkness. Walking in darkness doesn't come over night. It starts by slowly following our own desires instead of obeying truth. Before you know it, you are blind. Blind and numb to God's Spirit. The Bible says that God's Spirit had left him and he didn't even know it. If that doesn't turn your stomach, I don't know what would. Are you choosing your own feelings and desires over God's best for your life?

Some Christ followers expose light to a world in darkness. If the Spirit lives with in us (which it does if you are a Christian), we can either choose to obey His leading or our own. When we choose to walk in His light others around us will notice. Your life will be like a flooding light to those who are consumed with their own desires. They will take notice at the difference in your life. No one likes to find their way in the dark. It is scary. But who doesn't love walking around carefree on a sunny summer day?

Ask yourself:

1) At home- Am I exposing light and truth when I have disagreements with parents or family?
2)School- Do I work in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord or am I okay with laziness?
3)Relationships-Do I have the habit of gratifying my wants and desires in a relationship instead of being mindful of God's best for me?

Read Samson's story in Judges 13-16.
Prepare to be amazed by God's word!

Signs

Signs

God's will for our life isn't some huge mystery. We don't need to get out our flash lights and go on a scavenger hunt. His word tells us clearly what is best for us and what He commands. When we choose to take action and obey His word we are proven to have wisdom. The result is a closer relationship to Him. In many cases (especially for students) we avoid heart ache and pain. If we choose to ignore Christ, we are the ones who are missing out. The Bible even tells us we are foolish. Little daily decisions that we make are either taking us closer to our Father's heart, or stealing our sensitivity to Him and His best.
Let me put it plainly. Maybe in a way you understand...

Gossip= hurt feelings+loss of a best friend+ no one trusts you

Lust=instant gratification+lack of self control + sex before you were married

Arrogance=people don't want to be around you+ you don't care+ you will when your all alone

Materialism=fake+do whatever to get noticed+forgetting your blessings+debt+unable to help poor

These seem like little daily things, but don't be fooled. They can take us away from hearing God's voice. One day you might even say, "I no longer hear God's voice and direction like I used to. It must be the church's fault". Oh! Do not be deceived! .....
"But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what is says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don't obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don't forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it."
James 1:22-25

Sunday Brent will continue where Brad left off talking about wisdom and diving into the book of Proverbs! Don't miss it!
