2007-A Year to "Grow Up"

Our theme for H2O this year is "Grow Up"

The theme comes from Ephesians 4:13-15:

Until we all attain to the unity of the fatih, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ.

As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;

but speaking the truth in love, we are to GROW UP in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ.

As teenagers in 2007 it's time to GROW UP!

This world is attacking your claim to faith from all angles: music, movies, commercials, clothing, and the internet. It's time to ask the tough questions of those who claim to be Christians. It's time to stop wavering in our faith. It's time to stop saying one thing and living another. It's time to stop falling for the same old tricks and schemes. It's time to stop believing everything that we hear and start trusting the TRUTH. It's time to stop expecting to know the Truth without spending time in the Word. for us when we are so rarely willing to do anything for Him. It's time to speak up for the Truth. It's time to stop believing this world that "boys will be boys" and "girls will be girls". In fact it's time to stop being boys and girls and start being men and women.

It's time to stop living down to the expectations of this world and start living up to the God's measuring stick: Christ. It's time to GROW UP!
