To intro our new two week Sunday study on the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25) I asked some of our leaders and students to show me their "hidden talents". The following video shows some of the chaos that ensued so enjoy and join us soon!

This week I went and saw the new christian movie "To Save A Life". Now as a movie lover and critic I'm always skeptical about Christian movies, "Facing the Giants" for example was a powerful movie with a great message that almost got lost on the fact that none of the actors could act their way out of a paper bag. "To Save A Life" is the rare Christian movie that not only has a powerful message and halfway decent acting but also is the kind of movie that you can take your unsaved friends to without worrying about having them make fun of you afterward. From a youth ministry stand point I thought it really dealt with a lot of real issues in real situations. It doesn't shy away from the "tough" or "awkward" subjects but rather takes them on without compromise. After watching it you will no doubt examine your life and maybe even be motivated to make some changes. So bottom line: go check it out and take your friends (unsaved preferably), you won't regret it.
