What a wonderful and unexpected impact the CODE Seattle meeting had on our young people.  The unity and closeness between the youth and young adults was so obvious to everyone in the congregation. Thank you Howi Tiller and Terry Vik for bringing your team of drama clinicians to our part of the country and teaching us the value of Drama Evangelism.

Part 3: Selecting the Who for your team.

In part one of this series, we discuss the Importance of Leadership Development. In part two, we cover the Importance of Leading through Teams. In this final lesson, there are three areas pertaining to the selection of a team member that we target:
1. To remind those who serve in Christian 
    leadership just how serious of a matter it really is.
2. To assist those who have the responsibility of 
    selecting team leaders, as well as team members.
3. To challenge all who serve on a team to 
    become a better team member.

The Nations That Forget God

Waves roaring….a sign of the last days!  Horrific sights are taking place within the borders of our own nation, while man’s technology fails him in a desperate hour!  Entire cities perishing. The Word of God spoke of signs, some specific signs, which would be the beginning of sorrows.  With the current events unfolding quickly, we could very well be seeing the beginning of sorrows.  In the middle of it all, they decide they will pray.  Pray to God, the same One they are quickly removing from this land?

The history of the Jewish festival of Jubilee is found in Leviticus 25.  It begins with the Lord's commandment to Israel that they give their land a rest every seventh year. The seventh year was to be a Sabbath year in which the land would remain idle. During that year, the Jewish people would not do any planting whatsoever.  They would only gather what came up naturally from previous plantings.
