Bunch Speaks at H2O
Posted by: David Bunch
Last night I had the privilege of addressing the youth group in our weekly H2O service. Our theme right now is "Unmasking Your Identity", and my topic was specifically regarding our future identities in the Kingdom.
Hebrews 11:20 says that Isaac blessed Esau and Jacob in regards to their future. A few keys to finding our future in Christ are found in lives of these three individuals.
Commit. Esau despised his birthright, trading a future inheritance for a very small momentary reward. Often, we are tempted to do the same-trading what God has for us in His Kingdom for whatever worldly pleasure catches our eye today. We must remain committed to what God has for us.
Continue. Jacob was not favored by his father, and he was deceived by his uncle. However, he continued to build altars to God and promised his life to Him. We must continue moving forward even when things do not appear to be going our way.
Connect. Jacob and Esau's father, Isaac, blessed them regarding their future. We all need strong mentors in our lives who will pray for us, dream with us, and help us find direction. Prayerfully consider someone who could be your mentor, life coach, and prayer partner.
By following these three guidelines, we can achieve all that God has for us to be in His Kingdom.
