The Flood

We discussed "The Flood" last night at youth group. If you take the text literally, the account is staggering! A boat 450 feet long, one and half football fields...water rising over the highest mountains, Everest at 29,000, and all the animals 2 by 2 contained on one ship. How did they convince a lion or tiger to move in a docile manner to one of the cages? Mind boggling. How awesome is our God that nothing is too difficult for Him. He chooses to display his majest and glory in such odd ways sometime, but may we remember the rainbow and God's covenant with us, the objects of his promises, all of them. What an awesome God we have. Here is a clip from Jars Of Clay's "Flood" that we sang last night at youth group:



This is one oldschool music video...i want long hair like Dan's...should we play this song in youth group some more times? Other Jars of Clay songs?

Divine Romance

Here's an awesome song by Phil Wickham who we saw at Creation. Maybe we'll sing this at youth group in the next couple of weeks.

Creation Northwest 2008

We returned yesterday from 5 days, 4 nights of rocking out to Christian music artists and receiving deep inspiration for our faith from some great speakers. We were of course at the GORGE amphitheater in the middle of Washington State soaking up the rays and our fare share of mafia. It was a blessed time of seeing 30+ bands perform (Jeremy Camp, Switchfoot, Newsboys, David Crowder Band, Hawk Nelson, Kutless...etc.) and share their personal faith stories with us. It was inspiring for us all to see that they were people and not simply a band we hear on the radio. I had the pleasure of sitting in the VIP tent for a discussion with the band Switchfoot regarding their faith and life. I'll never forget the emphasis the lead singer, John, put on the importance of the local church in these student's lives. He spoke of how he was a student and his youth pastor's desire for him to know scripture and to know God. It was inspiring to hear someone who all of us saw that night on the main stage rock out like none other have such a deep respect for youth ministry. Here's a video of part of the discussion with the youth pastors and Switchfoot:



I'm sure some of the students and leader would tell you they are "concerted" out, i know i am. My back truly enjoyed the soft bed last night as opposed to that grassy knoll above the amphitheater. Many thanks to Adam and Paula Bramble for being the leaders that God called them to be. Here are some photos from the festival:

A Place for Students

Friends! We now have a youth page that we can call our own. This page allows us to do things that the tpcboise.org homepage could not. It will be in progress until things get more solidified on the page. I hope you will make comments and add your own media to this page.
