Why We Meet
Isaiah 40:30-31: Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young man shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
We meet to wait on the Lord and renew our strength. We meet to worship God. We meet to find our reason.
1. We meet at Bread of Life Church on Monday nights at 5 PM to glorify God and draw closer to Him. (1 Corinthians 6:20; James 4:8).
2. We all have gifts given to us by God and His Holy Spirit. We come together to discover these gifts and stir them up and use them in our lives. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 2 Timothy 1:6-7)
3. We meet to pray. We pray for our leaders in the church and the world. We pray for families and individuals. Our main focus of prayer is the youth in this hour, as Satan is trying to destroy this generation through drugs, sex, suicide, abortion, etc. (John 10:10; Isaiah 56:7; Matthew 21:13; Matthew 18:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:17)
4. We meet to learn the word of God, and to learn how to discern His voice as he speaks to us through the written word, song and prophetically. (2 Timothy 3:16; Ephesians 5:18-19; Acts 2:17)
5. We meet to fellowship and build Godly relationships for the furtherance of God’s Kingdom. (1 John 1:7; Matthew 18:19; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)
Outreach Purposes
The Lord gave us the command to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” (Matthew 28:19), so that is what we have set our hearts to do. As a team we take the gospel of Jesus Christ and what the Lord is teaching us and share it with others. God has opened many doors for F.Y.R. to share with youth groups, hold youth rallies and to travel on mission trips, etc.
As we go our desire is to let the youth in this hour know that Jesus Christ is the Lord of all and that He has a purpose for their lives. It is a message of hope and love. Our goal is to impart to young people the desire to seek God in His written word, in prayer, and in song, worshipping Him for who He is. We want to see the power of God released in the youth in this hour.
