7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:7-11

Those things have awe, but only Christ is awesome

Tonight was such a great night. Being fully honest, I went into worship tonight not knowing what to expect... However, the Sidewalk Prophets led us to the throne before we heard and responded to God's Word spoken from Pat. Pat challenged us to really review our pursuits, and discussed how Jesus hates anything that competes with him (Luke 9). In our church group devotion time it was a sweet time to get to pray for and unpack some of the student's thoughts on this. I truly believe the group is growing together more which is a GREAT thing, and when discussions are held like there were tonight, accountability is then created.

I'm off to bed... no pictures tonight, but I will update tomorrow morning.

Prayer Request: Some of the students are getting homesick. I pray that this would just be a temporary thing and we would finish the week strong with minimal distractions. I pray that the students would respond with what they have heard tonight throughout the rest of the week. Pray for sleepy eyes! We need rest tonight so we can hit it strong tomorrow!
