FAQ from parent: How can you help my son/daughter get connected when there are so many students?

 

If you need help getting your child connected to our ministry, PLEASE allow us to help!

FAQ from potential volunteer: Does Real Life Youth Ministry need help? If so, how can I help out?

Yes, we need help! We're always looking for caring adults who have a passion for God and a heart for students. If you are interested in serving in one of the most exciting ministries of the church, we'd love to help you get started.

There is no stereotype of a good youth worker that you must fit:
-You don't need to be perfect
-You don't need to be a Bible teacher
-You don't need to be cool
-You don't need to be young
-You don't need to listen to rap music

Here's what you DO need:
-A caring heart
-A likeable personality
-A love for God
-An interest in teenagers

FAQ from student: If God gave us the Bible so that we could better understand Him, then why are some parts of it VERY confusing? Why didn't He make everything clear?

We must admit that there are parts of the Bible that one might find difficult to understand. While God wrote it, he used human authors. These authors used a different language and were living in varying historical and cultural contexts. The essential messages of the Bible are, however, very clear and without dispute.

FAQ from student: Is Christianity the one true religion?

Yes, the Bible clearly teaches this. Jesus said that He was the only way to the Father (John 14:6).

Christians believe He was the Son of God (John 8:58; Exodus 3:14), who forgave sins (Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48) and who rose from the dead (Luke 24:24-29; John 2:19).

Buddha didn't rise from the dead, nor did Confucius. Muhammad didn't fulfill detailed prophecy, while Jesus did. There is far less reliable information written about them.

FAQ from student: If you had two minutes to convince a person of a different belief about Jesus being who He said He was (our Lord and Savior), what would you say?

Many religions believe that Jesus existed, that He was a good man, even that He was a prophet, but they don't believe that He was God's Son. Try explaining the fact that Jesus did miracles that only God could do and that He was proclaimed to be God by the prophets and His own followers and that He proved who He was by His resurrection.

God is creator - Isa. 44:24 Jesus is creator - Col. 1:15-16
God is savior - Isa. 43:11 Jesus is savior - Titus 2:13
God is the "I am" - Ex. 3:14 Jesus is the "I am" - John 8:58

FAQ from student: I'm in a spiritual rut, how can I always be sure that I'm growing in my faith?

Very good question. We've discovered that developing certain habits help to insure that we're always growing in our walk with the Lord. This is explained in more detail on the "PROGRAMS" page. Check it out.
