Bulls Eye Living Week 2 Letter to Students
This weekends message is a real important one when it comes to your life. Not only do I pray that you understand what I’m talking about today, but that you take a little time to answer some of the following questions. Your answers, combined with God’s Spirit working in your life, could change your life forever.
How do you determine what’s really important to you? Think through a few of these questions:
• What do I value the most?
• What are the things that matter the most in my life?
• What type of person do I want to be?
• What words best describe me?
• Am I living a life that reflects what I really value?
• What do I want written on my tombstone?
• What values do I want to be remembered by after my life is over?
• How does God fit into my values?
• Are my values consistent with God’s values?
• Can people see my real values in how I live my life?
Wow! These are tough questions. I encourage you not to let this week slide past you without taking some time to evaluate your life and what you value. Growth and change is tough. Don’t give up on this!
I believe in you!

Weekend Rewind- Bulls Eye Living Week 1
Weekend Teaching Series: Bulls Eye Living
Sermon Title: Week 1
Sermon in a Sentence: God created you for a purpose, in order to know what that is, we need to have Him at the center of our lives.
Weekend Scale of Difficulty: 6 out of 10Attendance: 71
Service Length: 60min
Understandable Message: 7 out of 10 (most difficult) Some students really don't look much past next week, or even later on in the day. We were speaking about looking to your future, career, life, and eternity. So it was a difficult idea for some of them to grasp. We tried to bring it home with what they love to do, their hopes and aspirations. That even with their idea of a perfect life; that God has a better plan, filled with more than they can imagine.
Grade: B-
Volunteer/Student Involvement: N/A missed the boat this time!
Element of Fun/Positive Environment: Used darts, and Nerf guns to illustrate how hard it can be to hit a bulls eye. We also used a pitcher full of water, filling a glass half full. The students were told this is their life, seen as half full or half empty. That God wants to give abundantly(over flowed the cup on to the table)
Music Playlist: N/A
Favorite Moment: Baptisms! 9 of them this weekend. One new believer in Christ, and a student with lots of questions!!! I love that!
