Well hello there, here's your belated guide to the heigh lights of what we got up to at Youth Alpha last Friday and a sneaky peek at what's going on tonight. (if you're not in the know, Youht Alpha is one of the regular events for young people at Broadway Baptist Church in Chesham. It meets on Fridays and Sundays at the church and it doth rock, so sayeth I). Last Friday was all about this:
and here it is in French, well why not when you can aye!
That's right, we had a look at the plagues God sent on Egypt. Read the proper, non animated version by clicking here. It's pretty scarry stuff. We learned that the plagues were what my teacher wife might describe as "God's lesson plan to achieve the following three learning objectives for Pharaoh and Israel, a mixed ability class":
1.Yahweh is more powerful than Pharaoh, his magicians and his gods.
2. The Hebrew people that Pharaoh made slaves and butchered do not belong to him. They belong to God
3. There is no one and nothing like Yahweh. He is the one who is really in control
This stuff is massively important because it's just as true now as it was then. For an example of this try taking out Pharaoh's name from the third point and insert the name of a world leader of your choice. If the end result seems unlikey then this bible passage has something to teach you.
Tonight's Youth Alpha looks at how God resuced the Hebrews from Egypt, and that they could not do it for themselves.
Believe it or not they did sing a big ol' power ballad at about this time in Bible history. No really, they honestly did! Read the real thing by clicking here, scroll down to Exodus chapter 15 and see it for yourself.
On a similair theme, watch this classic Free* Cafe' video that looks at how Jesus does the things we cannot do, because we all still need rescuing folks; but none of us are up to the job!
This Sunday morning we're looking at the rules that God gave Israel to live by. This should be pretty interesting if you've been coming to Solid Rock, Free* Cafe or F.B.I. this term where we've been thinking about God's top ten rules for living (often called the Ten Commandments by less hip people then my good self).
