Whether you like it or not

Some time ago I was speaking to the parents of a young man who were fed up and did not know what to do about their son. He refused to obey anyone. He said he was free to act whatever way he wanted and would not allow anyone to tell him what to do.

When they came to the UCKG, I prayed for the young man and he manifested a demon. The spirit said: "I don’t let him obey anyone. He’s proud of that, but he doesn’t know that he has to obey me."

People make a big mistake when they equate freedom with not having to submit to anyone or anything. We will always have to submit to someone or something, and it’s up to us to decide who or what – who we are going to OBEY!

You can obey an evil spirit like that young man…

You can obey your own fleshly urges…

You can obey other people’s advice about your life…

Or you can obey God, like Gideon.

"So Gideon took ten men from his servants and did as the Lord had said to him ..." Judges 6.27

Youth Group

We know that the best time to get on the right track and prepare for the future is during our young years, when we're open to learn, ready to start, and game for new challenges. This is why the YPG exists. It's a way to grow together in an exciting and productive way to successful adults. The YPG meets every Saturday at 2pm and Sunday 12:30pm. The meetings are very interactive and always include an inspiring message, singing, and games. Youth Pastor works with the youth by not only meeting with the group, but also sitting down with each group member for counseling a number of times every week. We're not like other 'feel good' groups out there. We sure want you to feel good but more than that — we also want you to do well for yourself. You will mature and become an above-average youth just by coming to the YPG meetings. If you're ready for some challenge, then you're ready for the YPG.
