#Orange11 Speaker Notes - Perry Noble
0 Comments Published by Terrace Crawford on 5/2/11 at 8:08 PM.What you do TODAY will matter TOMORROW.
- Many of us tell ourselves that what we do doesn't matter.
- No one just signs up to do youth and children's ministry
- When you have dreams about punting children its time to get out of ministry!
- You are not "just a children's worker" or "just a youth worker"
- In the feeding of the 5,000 in the Bible, who is the hero? The hero of the day is the unnamed person who packed this kids lunch.
- Teach kids to recognize Jesus.
- Some of the most messed up kids are church kids, because they don't recognize Jesus.
- We try to teach our kids good moral behavior and end up separating the good kids from the bad ones.
- Maybe lost people act like lost people. We should not expect lost people to act like believers.
- Teach kids to trust Jesus.
- Kids are taught they are an accident, not a creation of God.
- It's a lie to tell kids they can do anything they want to do if they just believe in themselves (ie: people who audition for American Idol)
- The truth is kids are created uniquely by God and He as a plan for their life. They need to surrender to Jesus and pursue his plan and not their own.
- We need to release kids to Jesus.
- There have been more church splits over the church van than anything else.
- There's too much fighting and competing in the church today.
- We are not responsible for reaching the next generation...
- We are responsible for teaching kids to recognize Jesus and equipping them to reach their generation.
- This post contains my notes from the general session at the Orange Conference.
