REVOLUTION ROUND 2

We have returned from the second session at REVOLUTION. Rev. Olu Brown gave an inspiring message based on the John 13:21-27 as he told the story of Jesus predicting Judas’s betrayal of him. Brown, spoke of the broken heart that Jesus must’ve had because, not only was Judas CLOSE to Jesus as a friend, but also because the betrayal was UNEXPECTED. He also challenged students to live above the consumeristic culture that often engulfs them. ”Our joy doesn’t come from our stuff, but from our God who blesses us with the great things we have.” Those words from Brown rang true to the students and adults in attendance.
In addition to the message from Olu, this morning’s session included a Justin Bieber imitation contest, some great rap/hip hop music with George Moss, worship with the Robbie Seay Band, and a special treat from a mime/dance group. It was a great morning together.
In other news, as Robbie Seay Band was leading worship they encouraged the crowd to jump up and down. While in the process of jumping up and down, I just happened to jump up and land on my sunglasses. As you might imagine, the sunglasses paid the ultimate price as they are ruined. I made the most of it though as I got my picture made with Robbie Seay with the sunglasses on (no he wouldn’t reimburse me for them and yes I did ask). And George Moss liked them so much that he got his picture made with them and even let me wear his super cool sunglasses. A few pictures of the sunglasses escapades are throughout this post.
