Killymurris Live Wire Day 5 - Training

You guys certainly love the sea, we couldn't get you out, even coming up to 9pm! Though you really need to get better at football. Being beaten so handily by the leaders must be embarrassing, especially with me on the leaders team, and I was playing barefoot, and when I score a goal the other team must be really bad.

Just like you need training to play football well, you need training in your life as a Christian. After you decide to turn, and follow Jesus, life doesn't just stop. The training and the transformation go hand in hand, but the training also takes up your whole life, not just a couple of hours a week. Then at some point you should be able to start training others, but you should always be aware of the point of the training. It is good if you live a better life, but as Peter showed in the books he wrote, that's not enough if you want to spend eternity with Jesus. You need to trust Jesus and only Jesus that he can save you in the end. That is true faith and that's what you need to learn from the training you get from God every day.

Thanks for coming every night to Live Wire. Every night more of you came, and if you came once, you tended to keep coming. Thanks also to all the parents for your support. Next stop the Sunday celebration at 12 noon in Killymurris Presbyterian Church Hall on 9th August, hope to see you there.
