30 Days with Jesus Day 3

2008-08-26T14:54:00.004-05:00

Read Matthew 3:1-4:11

John the Baptist

Matthew 3:4

And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

What attracted people to John? Was it his clothes? Highly unlikely! I am sure he attracted some attention. Can you imagine a leather girdle and clothes made of camels hair! I am sure not picked for Best Dressed. Was it his personality? Probably not-later down in the chapter we see him yelling at some Pharisees and Sadducees. He had to have smelled and had bad breath- he was eating locusts and honey. So what was it that attracted people to John? It was his message! The message of John was captivating! And more than that it was convincing. God used John to communicate the message of repentance in prepartion of the coming Messiah, Jesus. His message was for everyone! It was simple and to the point. Christ is coming back again. Are you sharing His message? The gospel is simple. It may be hard to witness to friends but let your life so shine before men and let them see the gospel through your life. Let God use you to spread His message!

30 Days with Jesus Day 2

2008-08-26T14:33:00.003-05:00

Read Matthew 1:18-25

The Birth of Jesus

Matthew1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

God with us? That's pretty personal Dont ya think? Christ let Heaven to be with us. Here is the big difference between a relationship and a religion. This is what is so different about Christianity. Our savior isn't dead, waiting to be reincarnated or a distant ruler. Christ wants a personal relationship with you. He came to earth to experience life. A life of hunger, disappointment, pain, loneliness- just like us. God chose to reveal Himself through His son. His presence comforts us, encourages, strengthens, protects, guides, provides and heals. Are you personal with God? Do you take Him up on his offer? Are you spending time with Him? In prayer? In thankfulness?Reading His love letter to you- the Bible?

30 Days With Jesus Day 1

2008-08-26T14:19:00.003-05:00

Read Isaiah 53

Jesus Foretold

Before Jesus came to this earth, there were people who were expecting Him. People that had read the Old Testament prophecies and knew that God would send someone to save His people.When Jesus came, some people recognized Him because of the prophecies they had read. After His death, when His gospel was preached around the world, others came to believe because of these very prophecies.Jesus fulfilled more than 300 Old Testament prophecies! What are the odds of a man even fulfilling just a few prophecies? Very slim indeed. What are the odds of fulfilling more than 300 prophecies? Astronomical.

Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Today is no different, people are waiting for a savior. Are you sharing this news with your friends and family? It is amazing to know that Jesus' birth, life and death was no accident. According to this passage, it was all in the plan.

Take time today to thank God for sending His son to die for YOU! He was wounded for YOU.

I've been trying to get more students involved, to take on more leadership and especially to take on more opportunities to share their interests, gifts and talents. So, all those new techy people get to work on the blog. It should go fairly easily. They can upload videos, photos, stuff - pretty easily. We can all enjoy it.

Thanks tech team! We need you now!

Email From God...

Read Matthew 5:4

My Child,

Is it good to be sad? Well, it depends on what you are sad about. If you're sad because you didn't get the latest video game for Christmas, you'll just have to get over it. What if you're sad because of something more serious? Did a relative die? Do your friends reject you? Do you feel empty inside because someone has seriously hurt you? If so, then yes, yes you can be blessed by My comforting presence.

If your heart is breaking, My Spirit is with you. I know what's making you sad. And I want to make it better. Cry out to Me. Pour your heart out to Me. Ask Me to help you. I will pick you up, dry your tears, and hold you. I will tell you that I love you. I promise I will be with you always.

Your Comforter,

God

Staff and Counselors

Youth Pastor- Brandon Shatto

Brandon was born and raised in a Christian home in Oklahoma. He graduated high school in 2003 and immediately attended Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO to obtain his Bachelor Degree in Pastoral Studies. He’s been in St. Charles since May of 2007. He has a passion to show students a life of John 10:10, not just a boring life but life to the fullest! He enjoys playing video games, playing with his dog Toby, hanging out with students, watching movies, and amusement parks.

Counselor and Youth Pastor wife- Melissa Shatto

Melissa was raised in a Godly Christian home that was in church every time the doors were open. Ever since she can remember she desired to be in the ministry serving Christ on a full time basis. She graduated from a small high school in Missouri in 2002 and soon attended Baptist Bible College. She graduated with her Associates in Early Childhood Education, but more importantly found the man that God had set aside for her to marry. When she’s not helping Brandon with youth ministry she enjoys shopping, visiting her family, watching movies, meeting new people, planning events, creating flower vases that she some day desires to sell, and walking their dog Toby.
