Accelerate Youth at Ft. Flagler, Summer Camp 2010

Students at the other beach at Ft. Flagler

More bonding time, this time with games

Fun

More Fun

Students play Capture the Flag at the Bunkers.

The Bunker students played CTF in, from a different perspective.

They say a happy cook is a happy camp.

Much funner than watching television for a week

Students enjoying the time they have to spend time with God and get closer to each other.

Enjoying a sunny day

Bonding Time

A student expresses his creativity by building a fort on the beach.

A finished product.

Towards the end of each night students worshiped God and listened to a message from one of the leaders about sharing the Legacy of Jesus. The fire was beautiful, it also kept students warm.

Have you attended Sunday Night Live yet?

IT HAS BEGUN! On Sunday, April 11th we kicked off a new way of doing things on Sunday evenings. Picture it with me for a moment… all three floors of Abundant Life Foursquare Church buzzing with energy and excitement. One room on the third floor filled with people vigorously taking notes in a Bible Study about experiencing freedom in Christ. Another room filled with individuals over the age of 54 eating, laughing, and learning together. Two other rooms on the same floor filled with teenagers conversing about what the Bible teaches concerning things they deal with on a daily basis. Then we move to the second floor; young boys listening to their Royal Ranger Commander and young girls eating up every word of their Pioneer Club Leader. At the same time 2 workshops take place where people are learning how to handle conflict in a biblical way and others prepare for a trip to Israel. Finally, we make it all the way down to the first floor were an interactive worship service is filled with people, hungry for the words of Jesus, receiving personal answers to life changing questions.  This is only a small glimpse at what took place Sunday, April 11^th 2010, Join us Sunday Nights as the excitement continues!

IN-DEPTH BIBLE STUDY ON THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS

Reaching the World Through God’s Glory: How to Release God’s Glory
By Pastor Don Welt

SANCTUARY: INTERACTIVE WORSHIP SERVICE

The sanctuary is transformed to accomodate the main event which is an interactive worship service filled with people, hungry for the words of Jesus, receiving personal answers to life changing questions and building relationships with one another. Come prepared…check out the main event series polls, scriptures and submit private questions online at www.live.alfc.us Feel free to BRING your cell phone into the sanctuary [on silent of course] and interact with us online during the service. Every Sunday Night we will answer questions LIVE!

Sunday Night LIVE Scripture memorization

We recognize the value of having scripture memorized and using it in our daily lives.

The “scripture of month” is a key element of sunday night LIVE.

During the interactive worship service we corporately practice the important principle of

“integration and application of God’s word”

and memorize scripture together, through a variety of ways, engaging the different senses (seeing.hearing.etc.). One way we have visually memorized scripture is through our “PICTURE IT. PRACTICE IT. REMEMBER IT.” method.  We have complied pictures to associate parts of the scripture with, made a video with the words as well as a video without the words.  The “PRACTICE IT” video below is to help you be able to later visualize the video and remember the scripture.  Come on Sunday Night and try reciting the scripture as you view the “REMEMBER IT” video without words. If we can remember lines from different movie scenes, we should be able to memorize God’s word, right?

CHECK IT OUT. TRY IT. PRACTICE IT. REMEMBER IT.

and reap the rewards of having God’s word available to you at all times!

(now showing below 2 Peter 1:3-4)

When my children were small, we played a game.  I’d take some coins in my fist, They’s sit on my lap and work to get my fingers open.  According to the international rules of finger opening, once the finger was open, it couldn’t be closed again.  They would work at it until they got the pennies in my hand.  They would jump down and run away filled with glee and delight. Just kids, just a game. Sometimes when we come to God, we come for the pennies in His hand.  ”Lord I need a passing grade. Help me to study.”  ”Lord, I need a job.”  ”Lord, my mother is ill.”

We reach for the pennies.  When God grants the request, we push the hand away.  More important than the pennies in God’s hand is the hand of God Himself. That’s what prayer is about.
